Replaced by other people who dared to do this, don't look at the small number of soldiers in their hands, but Yu Guang still dared to lead the soldiers to question. But when the person he faced was Yang Chendong, he couldn't have the slightest intention of asking for guilt, or in his eyes, as long as the other party didn't find trouble for himself, he was lucky, as for him to ask for guilt, hehe, forget it, he still wanted to live a few more days?

There was no way to take Yang Chendong by himself, so Yu Guang reported the matter to Guan Ying and General Ma Wei in Wuzhou Mansion, and at the same time sent the head of the bandit leader Huang Yuliang.

In Wuzhou Mansion, the front-line battle report was sent down, the Yellow Bandit Army was destroyed, and the bandit leader Huang Yuliang was beheaded, all of which were placed in front of Guan Ying and Ma Wei, which made them all excited. But in addition to the excitement, there was also bad news sent to them, that is, Yang Chendong, the loyal prince, was resting outside Gaozhou Mansion with a team of more than 8,000 people.

This is not an ordinary team, but a strong army that is very capable of fighting well. In the face of such an army, even if they were given twice or even triple the number of troops, the two generals were not sure of victory.

The two of them knew more clearly in their hearts that this so-called Qincha identity was set up for the Yellow Bandit Army, and now that the bandits are gone, the title of Qincha should also be withdrawn, so why didn't he leave, on the contrary, the number of troops he brought with him was still so large?

"Report it." After Guan Ying and Ma Wei glanced at each other, they made the same decision. Obviously, they have a reputation for self-knowledge, and they know that in the face of Yang Chendong, the level of the two of them is not enough at all, even if this is the case, they can only hand over the contradictions, as for how the emperor and the court decide, they only need to obey in the future.

Outside Gaozhou Mansion, Yang Chendong was indeed resting the army.

The Yellow Bandit Army of more than 100,000 was wiped out, and there were many meritorious people in the war, and it was at this time that they were praised one by one.

Leng Feng has made meritorious contributions, those who should be promoted will be promoted, and those who should be commended will be commended, and with the arrival of Kaohsiung this time, a lot of military merit medals have been sent, which can be sent down at this moment.

After the auxiliaries made meritorious service and there was no problem with loyalty and cultural classes, they were directly promoted to Leng Feng, and for a while, the number of Leng Feng Second Regiment, which originally had only 1,000 people at the beginning, rose to nearly 1,300 people. Each of the three battalions under its jurisdiction has also been changed from three companies to four companies.

Don't underestimate the three hundred people who have just become Leng Feng, their personal comprehensive quality is already very strong, and most of them are some old auxiliaries who came out of Red Embedded City. Some of them have already met the requirements for entering Leng Feng with their personal strength, but they have not gone through the final assessment. Now that there is time, Yang Chendong called Kong Jie, the political commissar of the Second Regiment, Song Zhe, the political commissar of the auxiliary corps, and others, together as examiners, and gave these 300 people a chance to carp jump into the dragon gate.

Temporary auxiliaries, those who have made military merits and have good personal military qualities, naturally become official auxiliaries. The auxiliary regiment also rose sharply from 2,000 to 3,000.

Leng Feng had 1,300 people, 3,000 auxiliary soldiers, and the rest were the temporary auxiliary soldiers who had just joined the Yellow Bandit Army. They are also the most numerous, reaching nearly four thousand.

Specifically, the 2nd Leng Feng Regiment has three subordinate battalions, each battalion has four companies, a company of 100 people, that is, 1,200 people, plus 100 people from the company directly under the regiment, a total of 1,300 people.

The auxiliary regiment, nine ordinary battalions, one battalion with three companies, one company with one hundred people, a total of 2,700 people. plus 300 people from the battalion directly under the regiment, a total of 3,000 people.

Temporary auxiliaries, a total of 10 battalions, 1 battalion 4 companies, 100 people in a company, a total of 40 companies, a total of 4,000 people.

From 3,200 people at the time of arrival, to more than 8,000 people now, the strength has more than doubled. This is how fast the army develops in a state of war. Only war is the best ladder for the promotion of soldiers, and it is also the best whetstone for forming a strong army in a hundred battles.

The work of recuperation is still going on, after all, there are so many more battalions, companies and platoon units, and there is always a need for some suitable officers to take up their posts. What are the personal strengths of these people? Do you have command talent, can you unite your comrades, and how is your loyalty? They must be assessed one by one.

At the same time as Yang Jiajun was renovating, the palace in Nanjing, Kyoto, Nanming Dynasty, was also busy at this time, and even a little noisy.

The rebellion in Guangdong was resolved, the Yellow Bandit Army was destroyed, the bandit leader Huang Yuliang was beheaded, and the head was sent to the military department to be verified.

It is said that this should be good news, the original founding of the Southern Ming Dynasty was not long, and the internal stability was not yet complete, and there were two major wars one after another, which made the treasury, which was not full, even more empty. For this matter, Queen Qian has begun to shrink food and clothing in the harem, and reduce the amount of money, although the role it can play is not very large, but this represents a signal, even the royal family has saved their lives, and these courtiers naturally have to say something, and they can save some gold and silver expenses under the same example.

One of the two ends is missing, and the Southern Ming court should breathe a sigh of relief. But because the war report attached the news that Yang Chendong stayed outside the Gaozhou Mansion to rest, the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty, including Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, could not calm down.

If the Yellow Bandit Army is a poisonous snake, very entangled by people, and can even hurt people, then Yang Chendong is a tiger descending from the mountain, and its danger is far greater than the former.

Such a tiger did not return to the mountain immediately after killing the poisonous snake, but stayed, which can't help but make people wonder if this move will be a move to set themselves on fire, once this team does what Huang Yuliang did before, I am afraid that with the current military strength of Nanming, it is really difficult to restrain it. If that were the case, wouldn't it shake the foundation of the country?

"Kuang Shangshu, although you were kind at the time and put a lot of effort into this matter, but now that person is here and won't leave, how can you explain?" The first to challenge Kuang Ye Shangshu was Liu De, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

His brother-in-law lost face in Hangzhou, and it was Kuang Ye who presided over justice there at that time. Although it was said that the brother-in-law was indeed at fault, Kuang Ye also explained afterwards, and on the surface, Liu De had long since stopped pursuing it. But can what happened really be erased like that? He didn't speak, just because the conditions were not ripe, and now that he has the opportunity, where will he be polite? The spearhead of the attack is directed at him.

Following Liu De's words, the next Du Yushi Shang also stood up and pointed out that Kuang Ye was not, "The minister impeached Kuang Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is ignorant, and the recommended officials of the Ministry of War are not qualified for their current positions." Among them are..."

The merchant opened his mouth and read out a large number of names. Some of them were generals who had lost the battle in the Yunnan War, and some were young generals who had been newly promoted after the reorganization of the guards, but their qualifications were somewhat insufficient.

Because of the rebellion, the importance of the military department was fully reflected. Under the rising tide, Kuang Ye's power has also become much greater, and many yamen need to obey his instructions unconditionally. Even if the power is greater, the responsibility will naturally be greater, there will be more things to manage, and there will be more things to do, and there will naturally be more people who are offended.

Originally, the existence of the six divisions was a place of mutual checks and balances. Even if the power of some departments will be greater, it will be very limited, but when the military department has a lot of power, and one department wants to override the other five, it is natural to cause public anger.

As a businessman of the imperial history of the capital, he had already received a lot of accusations from officials, but he didn't say it before because of the two rebellions, and he didn't have the energy to engage in internal governance at all. But now it's different, the rebellion in Guangdong is solved, which means that there is a big hidden danger missing, and then Nanming can do his best to deal with the disaster in Yunnan.

And wanting to get what he needs in this, Kuang Ye became the first person to be overthrown. Even if it can't be pushed, you have to give it some powerful looks, let him know that some people can't be offended, and some benefits are not something that he can get alone.

Liu De acted out of selfishness, and business was caused by half of the public heart. But in any case, the spearhead was pointed directly at the veteran Shangshu, these words were spoken in the court, Kuang Ye held back his right hand that was trembling a little because of anger, and slowly closed his eyes.

There is a saying that if you don't die, you won't die. In the same way, if you don't do something, you won't be fine.

Kuang Ye, who is dedicated to the country, is nearly seventy years old and has been in charge of the military department for decades, so he is very proficient in this way. It is precisely because of this that he found that many people were incompetent, which greatly affected the development of the Nanming army, so he punished some of the generals who ate empty salaries and reported false achievements, and replaced them with a group of young generals, hoping that they would change the military affairs of Nanming today.

This is naturally the right thing to do, but it will also affect some people with real power, and even touch the cake in their hands.

May I ask? Which general who eats empty pay and pays for false deeds will have no one behind him? Even if there is no backstage at the beginning, after having money, he will go to Beijing to find a backer and find a so-called retreat for himself. The so-called term running official is not a specialty of any dynasty, but has existed since ancient times.

In this way, Kuang Ye's actions are tantamount to moving a lot of interests. Now it's just Liu De and Shang Zhen who have come forward, which is already very face-saving for him, and this is due to the fact that he was not too fierce when he did it, otherwise, according to his intentions, the generals of the guards are afraid that they will be replaced by eighty percent, in that case, they will really provoke the anger of the public, and this time they will not only stand up and accuse themselves.

Slowly closing his eyes, Kuang Ye felt a little sad in his heart, but soon he opened his eyes again, and then fell to his knees with a thud, "Your Majesty, the minister is old and has been unable to sleep at night recently, I am willing to ask the emperor for mercy and allow the old minister to return to his hometown and return to his hometown." ”
