Chapter 248: Old Trees and New Sprouts

There are also some envious and jealous people among the courtiers, who have repeatedly impeached Lu Xiangsheng for private use, cronyism, abuse of private and so on during the compilation of the Tianxiong camp. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoTwo of the measures are to ask for the dispatch of the supervising army and the transfer of generals.

Emperor Chongzhen did not agree to the matter of sending a supervising army, and refused on the grounds that Lu Xiangsheng himself was a civilian leader, but the emperor did not refuse to ask for the transfer of generals.

For Lu Xiangsheng, of course, the current Emperor Chongzhen fully trusts him, and he also knows that Lu Xiangsheng's appointment of a private person is completely out of the question.

The Daimyo and other Sanfu guards are not border guards, and the fierce generals are rare, so they are selected and returned, and most of them are unusable, and Lu Xiangsheng wants to start another stove to train the Tianxiong Battalion on a white ground, and only have a copy of the "Recruit Drill Code" given by the emperor, which is definitely not enough at all.

However, if there were no middle and low-level generals and military attachés, this Tianxiong battalion would be nothing more than a plate of scattered sand and a group of rabble.

In particular, the middle-level generals and colonels are the backbone of an army, and Lu Xiangsheng, a self-made civilian official from scratch, can only use the private individuals around him, such as his younger brothers Lu Xiangguan, Lu Xiangjin, Lu Xiangtong, and the only one who has been excavated from the Sanfu Guard, Chen Tan.

Lu Xiangsheng had already reported these things to Emperor Chongzhen one by one through the channel of secret folding.

And today's Emperor Chongzhen will not take such a matter to the court for public discussion, so it is normal for many courtiers to have doubts about the formation of the Tianxiong Camp.

The people used by Lu Xiangsheng were indeed his personal individuals, but Emperor Chongzhen completely approved of the appointment of these people.

Lu Xiangguan, like his brother, is also a civil and military all-rounder, he was selected for Xiucai at the age of fifteen, and now he has long been famous.

This person was later admitted to the Jinshi, and also became a member of the cabinet, but the Zhongshu was not long in the house, and Lu Xiangsheng's subordinates were unavailable, so he was sent by the emperor to the Tianxiong camp to help Lu Xiangsheng govern the army and lead the troops.

The same is true for Lu Xiangjin and Lu Xiangtong, although these two did not die on the battlefield, but after the death of the Ming Dynasty, they actively recruited troops in Jiangnan to resist the Qing Dynasty, and after the failure of the resistance to the Qing Dynasty, Lu Xiangjin became a monk, and Lu Xiangtong committed suicide by throwing himself into the water.

It can be said that the Lu Xiangsheng family, who was born in Yixing, Nanzhili, is definitely full of loyalty in the history of the late Ming Dynasty.

Even Chen Tan, who is now following Lu Xiangsheng as a general, finally died in the battle against the Qing Dynasty, Chen Tan, who had been dismissed at that time, heard that the Qing army was going south, and then recruited hundreds of soldiers, and went north with the children of the Lu family in Yixing to resist the Qing Dynasty, and finally died heroically.

Such people, even if they are Lu Xiangsheng's private individuals, what is there not to use? If people like Lu Xiangsheng can't be trusted, then who else in this world can be trusted?

Therefore, the courtiers and magistrates ignored all kinds of impeachments of Lu Xiangsheng's military training, and Emperor Chongzhen ignored them, and after the news reached Lu Xiangsheng's ears, of course, Lu Xiangsheng's gratitude and further allegiance were obtained.

In addition to the Tianxiong battalion of 5,000 people in the southern part of the North Zhili, Emperor Chongzhen resolutely promoted the restructuring and return of the Gyeonggi Diwei to the stream, and abolished the pro-army capital Hufu and the twelve guards under its jurisdiction that had long existed in name only, but retained the names of the two guards of Tiance Wei and Yulin Wei.

In addition, with Gao Wencai's Jinyi Wei Gong Wei Division as the basic team, from among the innocent soldiers in the Shenji Battalion, 1,500 soldiers who were good at Chongzhen's front-loading flintlock smoothbore guns were selected, and the Tiance Guard was rebuilt in a mixed manner, and more than 2,000 elite and brave men were specially responsible for the emperor's close safety in the Forbidden City and when he was traveling.

With Li Ruolian's Jinyi Guard as the basic team, and from the abolished pro-army capital to protect the twelve guards of the palace, as well as the young children of the current Jingshi Xungui minister's family, mixed into a 3,000-post Yulin Guard, specially responsible for the three major halls, the surrounding area of the palace, and the security guards in the imperial city.

At the same time, there was still a Gong Wei Division in Tiance Weizhong, and at the same time that Gao Wencai was successfully promoted to the commander of Tian Ce Wei, Lu Shanji's son Lu Hualin served as the commander of the Gong Wei Division.

And Yulin Weizhong still has a front division of the palace, and Sun Zhixin, the eldest grandson of Sun Chengzong, who has graduated from the martial arts hall, serves as the commander of the front division of the palace.

Regarding the emperor's approach, the ministers of military aircraft all nodded in agreement.

Whether it was Sun Chengzong and Li Banghua, who were born in Wenchen, or Zhang Weixian, the boss of the nobles, they instinctively did not want to see the emperor trust special services such as Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

Now the emperor took the opportunity of the restructuring of the Gyeonggi Guard, abolished the long-standing pro-army capital and the half-dead Shangzhi Twelve Guards, and on this basis, merged and rebuilt Tiancewei and Yulinwei, dispersing the power of Jinyiwei around the emperor, which was what they were happy to see.

As for Gong Yonggu, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the emperor let the Gong Wei Division and the Palace Front Division break away from the Jinyi Guard, and since then become a part of the Tiance Guard and Yu Linwei, although there are some worries in his heart that the emperor has suspicions and vigilance about himself and the Jinyi Guard, but in general, whether it is him or Wang Guoxing, he does not dare to have any objections to the emperor's decision-making.

Now the emperor's methods have long made these people around him feel unfathomable. I once thought that the super prince and the duke and earl were always on the highest, and the emperor said that he would be caught, and he would be killed, not to mention the exile of the family, which was unheard of in the past, but now it has become commonplace.

Therefore, for these close ministers who directly belong to the emperor, especially the relatives and close ministers who are not treated by the civil officials and ministers of the imperial court, no matter what the emperor says now, they dare not easily question and oppose them.

Besides, after all, Jinyiwei was originally the emperor's pro-army, and he was just in charge on behalf of the emperor, if the emperor wanted to divide and limit his power, then what else was there to say, of course, he had to do what the emperor said.

However, although Emperor Chongzhen did not let Gong Yonggu, Wang Guoxing and other high-level Jinyi Wei participate in the selection of Tiancewei and Yulinwei, within two days of the completion of the compilation of Tiancewei and Yulinwei, Emperor Chongzhen asked Gong Yonggu to develop informants among the former Jinyi guards of Tiancewei and Yulinwei who had just taken off their flying fish suits.

This point made Gong Yonggu, Wang Guoxing and other high-level Jinyiwei suspicious.

The restoration and reconstruction of Tiancewei and Yulinwei also made the other nine of the so-called pro-army Shangzhi Twelve Guards who originally guarded the Forbidden City completely enter history, along with other guards in Gyeonggi.

At the same time, it also gave the Jinyi Guard, which was deformed and developed in the original Twelve Straight Guards and was a dominant family, to have new competitors.

At least from now on, the palace guards in the Forbidden City will no longer rely on the Jinyi family.

And Tiance Wei and Yu Linwei, like Jinyi Wei in the future, will no longer be closely linked to the military land of the original guard, but refer to the Nine Sides Zhengbing, with a relatively high military salary as their basic income. Moreover, this expenditure was all paid by the emperor's treasury, and there was no need for the treasury to spend.

Emperor Chongzhen did this, which was tantamount to completely blocking the mouths of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers.

The emperor personally paid out of his own pocket to hire personnel to ensure the safety of the palace, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty should be ashamed, so what qualifications did they have to stand up and make irresponsible remarks?

What's more, the emperor did this, which was tantamount to providing a way out for the children of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers, which was even more blameless.

In this way, whether it is the surrounding provinces of Gyeonggi, or the three prefectures where Lu Xiangsheng is also a military garrison in the south of Beizhili, as well as the inner part of the imperial palace, after the emperor's recent repeated heavy attacks, now finally presents a scene of prosperity and prosperity.
