Chapter 72: The conspiracy succeeded

Views:

"Nine thousand years old, don't worry, if the king is defeated, he will still be the prince, the only brother of the emperor, will the emperor punish him? Even those who defeat the war will not be punished, and will he punish the recommended person?"

"What if Believe the King wins?" Wei Zhongxian became worried. If Zhu Youjian could gain the emperor's trust, then what would he be a eunuch? So he didn't want the clan to be in power.

"If you believe that the king wins, it is also the credit of the nine thousand-year-old recommendation. Besides, the current force for the construction of slaves has exceeded one hundred thousand, and the four military camps are only forty thousand. Can the forty thousand four military camps win one hundred thousand to build slaves? To defeat one hundred thousand to build slaves, the Ming army needs at least four hundred thousand."

"Yeah." Wei Zhongxian finally let go of the fears and worries in his heart. Maybe believe in the king and die in Jian slave's hands, then he has lost a lot of worry. "Then what are we going to do now?"

"Nine thousand years old must do two things. First, praise the king’s military talents in front of the emperor, so that the emperor believes that the king can repel the establishment of slaves; second, really support the king’s training and make the emperor believe that nine thousand years old is here. To prepare for the establishment of slaves, retreat and even regain Liaodong."

"Then how can our family support the King of Letters?" Wei Zhongxian is good at trying to figure out the holy will, how to recommend Zhu Youjian to Zhu Youxiao, he is better than anyone, but he doesn't know a few big characters, but he is an idiot in the military. , I don’t know what real help Zhu Youzhen needs. Only by giving Zhu Youjian real help can he inspire his courage and let him voluntarily go to the battlefield of slavery to die in the future.

"Siwuying's air payment is more serious. I heard that King Xin is about to bypass the cabinet and appeal to the emperor. It is better to be personal for the nine-thousand-year-old, and help King Xin to make up for the air-paid soldiers of Siwuying."

"Soldiers who make up the free payment?" Wei Zhongxian can't do it anymore. The biggest beneficiary of the capital's free payment is Wei Zhongxian. Now let him fill up the free payment soldiers, then he, the eunuch, the Libingbi eunuch, will still do it. What

"Nine thousand years old, you don't need to control other camps, as long as you make up the four Wuying camps. If you think of the king, you can manage your own one-third of acre at most."

"Yeah." Wei Zhongxian nodded slightly. In this case, his loss would not be large, and in the name of the emperor's plan to rectify the capital's free payment, let those who greet the ink free payment to hand over the money, maybe he would make a big profit. pen. "Okay, our family will fully support King Xin's military training and overcome the establishment of slavery as soon as possible. The soldiers in the four military camps are all made up, and the military salary is given priority, and the officers will also be deployed by King Xin.

"In this way, Xinwang's confidence swells, he must regard himself as Daming's savior, and his goal of building slaves. He can still be sent to him at the age of nine thousand years." Li Chunye could not restrain his excitement, but he is still Don't have any expressions, otherwise, you may fall short.

"How to give him a ride?" Wei Zhongxian showed his lovely big white teeth again. This Li Chunye, who usually doesn't show up, how can he talk in a different way today? With his game of chess, it is difficult for Zhu Youzhen not to die.

"Xinwang is looking for someone who is proficient in the Jian slave language and wants to send Jiannu to spy on the military situation. This is obviously in preparation for entering Liaodong. I heard that he has taken a fancy to Jin Yiwei’s deputy Qianhu Zhou Wenqi. Do you want to help him so that he can fulfill his wish as soon as possible?" Li Chunye was more amused as he thought about it, and his face might show a smug expression. He was afraid that the excitement in his heart would make Wei Zhongxian discover that he simply laughed desperately, just like Liu Bei and Cao Cao used thunder to conceal the shock in his heart when they were cooking wine and discussing heroes.

Wei Zhongxian laughed too, seeming to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Li Chunye, "Okay, let Zhou Wenqi go to Liaodong to see what happened to this old boy, Nurhachi, for such a large age, why don't you stay in the palace and enjoy the blessing and come to Shanhaiguan?"

"But, nine thousand years old, Zhou Wenqi is Jin Yiwei's person after all, Master Tian Ergeng..."

"Tian Ergeng? Isn't he just the little Jinyiwei commander? He dares. Waiting for the quality, you take the slip from our house and get Zhou Wenqi to the King Xin."

The first batch of soldiers from Fenwu Camp finally returned to the capital, but only two thousand were Li Xing’s infantry and Zhang Heng’s cavalry, plus the special forces that had returned with Zhu Youjian earlier, Fenwu Camp only returned two thousand from Shandong. More than three hundred people.

For these veterans returning from the battlefield, Zhu Youjian divided them into three groups and gave them three days of leave in turn. After five days, they must all return to camp. Three days are too short. Fortunately, the families of these soldiers are all in the capital, and there is no journey. The soldiers cheered for joy. They already knew that Zhu Youjian was a believer, and now he was their new commander.

Soldiers seldom have holidays. Now they return from Shandong victorious. With a spiritual and material harvest, they go home to see the old lady and the mother-in-law. The soldiers were noisy all afternoon, and now they realize what Zhu Youjian said. , "Soldiers fight for the people, and the people provide military salaries; the soldiers fight for the country, and the country will issue rewards and pensions; the soldiers fight for their families, so that their families can be proud of themselves." In this chaotic barracks, where does Fenwuying usually look like training? But Zhu Youjian did not have time to suppress their excitement. Finally, there is a war, or the victory is complete, let them go crazy once again!

Zhu Youjian would like to thank Li Chunye for the great gift he gave him. To be precise, it was a gift from Wei Zhongxian. The missing soldiers in the Siwu Camp have been filled. In order to confuse Zhu Youjian and give him the urge to eliminate slavery, Wei Zhongxian added the elite of the capital to the Siwuying. Moreover, the Siwuying camp is rich in military salary and is given priority. Zhu Youzhen doesn't need to invest a lot of silver, so his financial pressure is much less.

Zhu Youjian would also like to thank Li Chunye and Wei Zhongxian for giving him bigger gifts. At the beginning, Li Chunye told Zhu Youjian that in Liaodong, the Ministry of Defense was still uncertain about the conflict between Gaodi and Yuan Chonghuan. But Zhu Youjian said, "Sooner or later, Ning Yuan will be lost." As a result, Li Chunye succumbed to the meeting of the Ministry of War, and forced the Ministry of War to stand on Gaudi's side. Ningqiandao Yuan Chonghuan, Ning Yuan commander Man Gui, and participating general Zu Dashou were dismissed and sent to Jizhou on standby. Zhu Youjian took advantage of their frustrated opportunity and dispatched special team leader Wang Mujiu to Jizhou personally to invigorate him, and invited the three to the capital.

The three people were originally of relatively high rank, especially Yuan Chonghuan, who was still a civilian, and the Siwuying could not be placed at all. Zhu Youjian originally planned to recruit them as staff for the time being to train Siwuying for him. But the three of them didn't take advantage of the posts of staff who only had responsibilities and no rights. Coupled with the deep-rooted contempt of the Liaodong army officers towards the Jingshi Army, although Zhu Youjian threw a generous olive branch, none of the three followed.

Now Wei Zhongxian is proud to present Zhu Youjian with a gift he hadn't thought of himself-allowing Zhu Youjian to select the officers of the Siwu Camp by himself. With Wei Zhongxian's "oral instructions", Zhu Youzhen certainly can't waste it.

The soldiers of Fenwu Camp who came back from Shandong are spending a pleasant holiday, while Zhu Youjian is busy reorganizing the Siwu Camp.

The Siwu battalion now has 9,600 soldiers per battalion, and the total number of officers at all levels has exceeded 10,000. Based on the design of the Fenwu Camp, Zhu Youjian divided the 9,600 soldiers into one cavalry guard and two infantry guards, each with 3,200 soldiers.

Fenwu Camp already has a cavalry guard and an infantry guard. The commanders are Liu Yushuan and Li Hongjun. Now there is an infantry guard and the commander is Jiang Zhengcai.

The rectification of the Yaowu Camp, the Xianwu Camp and the Xianwu Camp was relatively large. Except for Yang Du who continued to serve as the commander of the military training camp because of his kindness, the commanders of the Yaowu Camp and the Xianwu Camp were all replaced by Zhu Youjian. Youzu Dashou served as the commander of Yaowu Camp and Yuan Chonghuan served as the commander of Xianwu Camp. Each battalion governs one cavalry guard and two infantry guards.

Man Gui was originally a general soldier of Ningyuan and a descendant of the Mongols. He was good at riding and shooting. Zhu Youjian asked him to be assigned the rank of commander of the Siwu Camp, which was negative for the training of the four cavalry guards of the Siwu Camp. Often not permanently stationed in Siwuying, Man Gui is the de facto supreme commander of Siwuying.

The training of Siwuying includes ideological training and physical skill training. Ideological training has three contents, mainly borrowing the military thinking of the elderly:

1. Obedience is the bounden duty of soldiers. As a soldier, you must obey the management of the officer and strictly enforce the military orders of the superior. A disciplined army can only be effective on the battlefield.

2. The spirit of soldiers is to go to the front line bravely, take the lead, and not be afraid of sacrifice. For all enemies at home and abroad, soldiers must have the confidence and courage to defeat them, and they must not be scared by paper tigers such as slaves and Mongolia.

3. The mission of soldiers is to defend their homes and the country, and defend their territories and open frontiers. Raising troops for thousands of days and using troops for a while, soldiers are paid by the state, and the history of war must be a bloody battle for the country. After the war, the state was rewarded for meritorious deeds. The families of the dead soldiers received compensation and the injured soldiers received compensation and livelihood security.

As for the physical skills training of soldiers, Zhu Youjian compiled the "Soldier Training Manual" and "Soldier Training Syllabus" based on the training position of the Fenwu Camp, and prepared to train officers in the military academy. Now you can directly get the training in the Siwu Camp. .

Zhu Youjian convened the first senior officers' meeting of the Siwu Camp, which was held in Yaowu Camp. The four military battalion commanders and Zhi Zhu Youjian participated in the meeting, the Siwu battalion commander Han Shi Mangui, and the Yaowu battalion commander Zu Dashou. Yang Du, commander of the military training camp, Yuan Chonghuan, commander of the Xianwu camp, as well as the military commanders of each battalion, Liu Yushuan and Li Hongjun of the Fenwu camp, have not returned in Shandong. Only the newly appointed infantry commander Jiang Zhengcai attended the meeting.

"His Majesty, I have read the "Soldier Training Manual" and "Soldier Training Syllabus". If the soldiers meet the standards in the syllabus, their combat effectiveness will not be weaker than that of the Liaodong Army. But at the end, I don’t understand why we waste time in platoon training. Is it just for the needs of the military parade?" Yuan Chonghuan frowned. He looked down on the Beijing Army from the bottom of his bones. These soldiers had basically never been on the battlefield, and there was no chance to go to the battlefield. At most, it was to let the Ministry of Defense parade and frighten those afraid of things. People of China, if they really want to see the real chapter, they must be put on the battlefield of Liaodong.
