Chapter 249 Go to Tongzhou again

On December 16, that is, the day after the end of the Layue Wangri Dynasty Meeting, Emperor Chongzhen took the newly reorganized Tiance Guard, accompanied by Sun Chengzong, Li Banghua, the Minister of Military Aircraft, and Gong Yonggu, the commander of Jinyiwei, and Fang Zhenghua, the commander of Dongchang, and others, and left the Forbidden City again in one of several four-wheeled carriages, heading for Tongzhou.

Now, several ministers of the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department have gradually become accustomed to the emperor leaving the Forbidden City every once in a while to participate in major events around Gyeonggi, and they are no longer as stubbornly opposed as they were the first time.

Even the official of Kedao, who has always been critical of the behavior of the emperor and important ministers, now sees the situation clearly, since it is useless to oppose it, and at the same time, there is really not much risk, and the emperor has always been light and simple, and he has not caused much harassment and damage to the merchants and people inside and outside the city, so he has gradually stopped criticizing vigorously.

Because the Governor's Mansion of Zhili, the Lecture Martial Arts Hall, the Agricultural Affairs Institute, the Armament Academy, the Gun Factory, and the Yamen of the Governor of the Household Warehouse Field, etc., are located in the city of Tongzhou, so now the political status and economic status of Tongzhou have been rising, and the road from Jingshi to Tongzhou has also been rebuilt and maintained, which is much better than the bumps in the emperor's first trip.

The two ministers of military aircraft each had a four-wheeled carriage, walking in front, Emperor Chongzhen rode the same appearance, and the other four-wheeled carriage with a noble interior walked behind, on both sides of the emperor's carriage, was the Jinyi Guard commanding Gong Yonggu, Dongchang Admiral Fang Zhenghua and the imperial attendant military attache were following on horseback, and the front and rear of the entire team were the newly established Tiance guards.

Although Tiancewei is newly established, the business of the entourage escort is very familiar.

Because in the composition of today's guards, there are more than 500 people who are the original Gong Guard Division, and the other 1,500 people are horseback infantry musketeers of the Shenji Battalion who have traveled with Hu many times.

Now these have taken off the flying fish suit of Jinyiwei, taken off the mandarin duck jacket of the Shenji Battalion, and all changed into all the same bullfighting clothes, looking at Jinyiwei to be noble to such a level, so they are all holding their heads high and looking forward to themselves.

Of course, on the basis of the abolition of the pro-army Governor's Mansion and the guards under its jurisdiction, Tiancewei and Yulinwei were retained and restored and rebuilt, and the biggest beneficiaries were not the Jinyi Guards of the former Gongwei Division, nor the musketeers of the Shenji Battalion, but Gao Wencai, the commander of the original Gongwei Division.

It was not until recently that it was decided to rebuild Tiancewei and Yulinwei respectively on the basis of the Jinyi Wei Gongwei Division and the Dianqian Division, that Emperor Chongzhen ordered Dongchang to investigate Gao Wencai's family background.

It turns out that this Gao Wencai is not an ordinary hereditary Jinyi Wei Qianhu origin, his Jinyi Wei Qianhu hereditary position was exchanged by his father for the feat of the dying day.

Gao Wencai's father is called Gao Bangzuo, a Jinshi in the year of Wanli Yiwei, during his tenure in Shouguang County, he was assessed by the imperial court as the first official in Shandong at that time, and was later promoted to the head of the household department and the prefect of Yongping.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi and the governor Wang Huazhen disagreed, Xiong Tingbi was the main defender, Wang Huazhen was the main attack, and the ministers of the court and the central government were the main attack, as a result, the 60,000 troops of Liaodong were defeated in a battle outside the city of Guangning, and they fled one after another, Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen and other Liaodong officials fled south, only Liaodong participated in the politics of Gao Bangzuo and swore to live and die with Guangning City, and finally when the city was broken, he hanged himself in the official office.

At that time, Gao Bangzuo had two loyal servants and two brothers, one named Gao Yong and the other Gao Hou.

After Gao Bangzuo hanged himself, the two brothers fought for the same martyrdom, of which the eldest brother Gao Yong was finally martyred, and Gao Hou, who was only nineteen years old at the time, took Gao Bangzuo's widow back to Beijing to report the funeral.

After the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew the ins and outs of the matter, he was very moved and rewarded Gao Hou, and at the same time praised Gao Bangzuo's loyalty, and Yin Qi's son was hereditary of Jinyiwei.

This is Gao Wencai's origin, and it also explains why when the city of Beijing was broken in the spring of Chongzhen's seventeenth year, Gao Wencai would return home and commit suicide. This is another home of loyal ministers and filial sons.

This time, in order to rebuild Tiancewei, of course, the emperor had to find out the bottom number of the first commander after the reconstruction, and let Dongchang check it, which is the result, then there is no doubt, and Gao Bangzuo's loyal servant, Gao Hou, who is now twenty-six years old, was also added to Tiancewei, given the title of a hundred households, and became Gao Wencai's entourage.

At the same time, among the imperial attendants and military attachés around the emperor, of course, there were also people who benefited from this, such as Liu Zhaoji and You Jinghe.

Liu Zhaoji was transferred to the mainland from the front line of Liaodong resistance in history, and has always fought on the front-line battlefield of suppressing bandits, although his early performance is not as shining as Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao and others, but it is also remarkable, the most famous thing that happened to him is that after the death of Emperor Chongzhen, he kept Shi Kefa in Yangzhou to resist the Qing Dynasty, and was famous for defending Yangzhou.

At that time, the Manchu army was about to encircle Yangzhou, and Shi Kefa, who was guarding Yangzhou, ordered the Jiangbei armies to come to reinforcements, but the four towns in Jiangbei flinched, and only Liu Zhaoji led a lone army to obey the order and rushed into Yangzhou before the Manchu Qing heavy army was encircled.

After the city was broken, Shi Kefa committed suicide by throwing himself into the water, and Liu Zhaoji did not choose to flee when he could continue to flee, but took the lead, leading the command of about 400 people who had died left, rushed to the enemy position, fought for his life, and finally killed hundreds of enemies, all of them died heroically.

And You Jinghe, although he was also a fierce general who followed Mao Wenlong to fight behind enemy lines, he was not very famous in history, because in the original history, he would soon die in the battle between Dongjiang Town and Jianyu.

Now, Liu Zhaoji was arranged by the emperor to serve as the deputy commander of Tiance Weizhong, while You Jinghe was arranged by Emperor Chongzhen to serve as the deputy commander of the rebuilt Yulinwei.

Of course, these positions, for a few of them, are just a transition, but also a disguised promotion, three or two years later, or even a year and a half later, in the Forbidden City to accumulate enough qualifications, including connections, will be sent by the emperor to lead the troops to fight.

The restoration and reconstruction of Tiancewei and Yulinwei was an important part of the emperor's consolidation of Gyeonggi's layout.

The rebuilt Tiance Guard is an establishment of 2,000 people, while the Yulin Guard is an establishment of 3,000 people, but their specific composition is different from that of Jinyi Wei and other guards, and it is composed of a shackle, division, team, platoon, and squad.

Tian Cewei is divided into left and right sides, each with 1,000 people, the left is led by the commander, the right is led by the deputy commander, and the Gongwei Division belongs to the left, and in addition to the first division of the guard, there are three other guards and the army, the names are all taken by the emperor, respectively called the Regular Soldier Division, the Odd Soldier Division, and the Ranger Division.

Just by looking at the name, you can see that in the future, it will be trained as a special operations force.

At present, in addition to Tiance guarding the gates of the Qianqing Palace where the emperor lives, the other three divisions are guarding the cabinet, the Wenhua Palace, the Wuying Palace, the Military Aircraft Department and other core vital parts.

As for the Yulin Guard, it is mainly the guard outside the palace, and it is also divided into left and right, the left is under the jurisdiction of the front of the palace and the palace department, and the right is under the jurisdiction of the palace outside the division and the imperial city department.

The front of the palace is the least crowded, and it is still on duty at the Huangji Gate and the three major halls in the gate.

The Imperial Household Division, together with the Jinyi Guard, guarded the four gates of the Forbidden City, as well as the four corner towers at the four corners of the Forbidden City.

The four gates of the Forbidden City are the Wumen Gate in the south, the Xuanwu Gate in the north, the Donghua Gate in the east, and the Xihua Gate in the west.

The Yulin Guard is mainly on duty outside the Forbidden City and within the Imperial City, of which the Outer Palace Division is mainly guarding the Taimiao, Shejitan, Jingshan, and Sanhai.

The Imperial City Division has the largest number of people, guarding the outermost part of the entire Imperial City, that is, the walls of the Imperial City and several of its gates, such as Daming Gate, Chengtian Gate, Bei'an Gate, etc.

In this way, together with the 15,000 people of the Shenji Battalion who are now stationed in the inner and outer cities of the Beijing Division and guarding the gates of the Beijing Division, the more than 15,000 people in charge of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Command Division in charge of catching thieves, fighting fires, disaster relief, and public security, and the 5,000 households of Jinyi Guards throughout the five cities of the Beijing Division, the defense of the entire Beijing Division is divided into at least four or more lines of defense from the inside to the outside: the palace city, the imperial city, the inner city, and the outer city.

Coupled with the five military camps and three thousand battalions that have been moved out, as well as the Luhewan New Army Camp in Tongzhou, it can basically be regarded as completing the layout of the current Chongzhen Emperor to consolidate Gyeonggi, and from now on, living in the Forbidden City can be regarded as a peace of mind.

Emperor Chongzhen sat in the carriage and marched in the direction of Tongzhou, wondering if there were any loopholes in his layout.

Along the way, the emperor was immersed in his own thoughts, and unconsciously, he felt that the carriage had stopped, and Wang Chengen's voice came from his side, only to hear him say: "Your Majesty, Tongzhou City has arrived!" ”
