639 Build an army
After the announcement of the system of the Senate was completed, Lian Zining continued: "After the government affairs are finished, let's talk about something else, and the next one is supervision." β
"The regulations of the imperial court and ours are the same as those of other provinces, and the establishment of the Department of Punishment and Prosecution is the same, according to the official's view, there is no need to be so troublesome." Lian Zining waved his hand, glanced at Li Tie, and said: "Now that our territory is small, some things are easy to do, and the supervision, arrest, interrogation, judgment, and even the final execution within the jurisdiction are all attributed to MI6." β
Are there any drawbacks to Lian Zining's approach?
Naturally, there is, and it is not small, the powers he gave to the MI6 are simply the integration of the functions and powers of Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Prosecution Department, etc., of course, and Jinyiwei, which means that the power of the entire public procuratorate and law is controlled by one department. Its power is comparable to the Jinyiwei in the hands of the early Ji Gang of the National Dynasty, no, maybe even more, after all, Jinyiwei has other departments to restrain it!
But Lian Zining now needs such a strong department to grasp all the power in his own hands, and if he wants to attack someone or eliminate a certain part of the force, he is also more affectionate and handy. Just like Ji Gang of the Yongle Dynasty can affectionately deceive Emperor Yongle and even plan to usurp the throne, this kind of functional department is an extremely sharp knife, killing people is certainly cool, but the slightest carelessness also hurts himself. The root of Lian Zining's self-confidence comes from his overall control of the situation, no one, any force, can turn the storm under him!
"MI6 has been promoted to a three-grade yamen, which is at the same level as the Senate, and the following functional yamen remain unchanged. MI6 Counselor, continued to be led by Li Tie. Other than that. One additional prison was added, which was the ninth grade. Responsible for the management of the Yuanfu Prison in the original town. The Zhenyuan Mansion prison was transferred to MI6 for minor offenders, and the MI6 prison was for felons. β
Speaking of which, there's the one sitting down there
Li Tie kowtowed to thank him.
"Next, let's talk about Wu Yijun's side." Lian Zining's words attracted the attraction of all the officers.
"The first thing to do now is to expand the army!"
"Expansion?" These two words make the eyes of all officers light up, who doesn't want to have more soldiers under their hands?
"Expansion?" Hong Chaojiao couldn't help frowning, and he wanted to expand the army? It's all money. That's a lot of money! It's just gone? Now the jurisdiction can be said to be a scene of a hundred ruins waiting to be rebuilt, and the adults have created many new yamen functions and set many goals and tasks, all of which cost money!
He then laughed, the money bag was held in the hands of the adults, but he didn't have to worry about it.
"The move to expand the army is imperative." Lian Zining said slowly: "Now that our territory is bigger, there are more places that need to be garrisoned, and the army that seemed to be enough to use before." It's not enough now. The imperial court edict ordered us to level the White Lotus Sect, even if it was not for the sake of the imperial court, for our own sake. This muddy water of the White Lotus Sect, we must also stir and stir it up, how many people are in the White Lotus Sect? How many Jurchens are there? How many people are Yang Xuezhong? We've got a little bit of troops. It's not enough to see! In addition......"
He smiled meaningfully: "It's not just that one place that we need to deal with. β
"Alright. The generals stand and now proclaim. β
The officers suddenly stood up. Those civilian officials were taken aback, only to hear Lian Zining say in a deep voice: "The 150,000 recruits who were trained before were later transferred 68,000 recruits one after another, and now there are 82,000 left, forming twelve new guards. Its numbers are the 24th guard of the Wuyi Army to the 35th guard of the Wuyi Army! β
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, they didn't expect that the adults would be so resolute and resolute this time, such a big deal, and suddenly set up twelve guards! It's even bigger than the last time, you know, this is almost equivalent to doubling the size of the main battle force of the Wu Yi Army!
The 14th to 23rd guards are now garrison guards, but they are not counted among the main battle guards.
Lian Zining continued: "Next, appoint the commanders of each guard. The commander of the twenty-fourth guard, Dong Sanlin. The twenty-fifth guard commander, Ye Feinan. Commander of the 26th Guard, Derg. Commander of the Twenty-Seventh Guard......"
Then he said: "The thousandth household of the twenty-fourth guard is the thousandth household......"
Twelve guards, twelve commanders, forty-eight thousand households, one hundred and forty-four deputy thousand households, even Zining was even appointed one by one, the list was extremely detailed, and the upper ruling form of the twelve complete guards was faintly outlined.
With what happened last time, it is not surprising that Lian Zining behaves like this, this adult is the character who controls everything, and he does everything to the extreme, and he does not leak.
This time, Lian Zining's newly appointed batch of high-ranking officials at the level of commander envoys are still the backbone officers from the first guard to the thirteenth guard as usual.
The boss controls the overall situation and always achieves the goal by controlling the high-level cadres under his command, which is why cadre work is the top priority of the work, and there is no doubt that these will only be the control of the troops under him, that is, through the subordinates of these thousands of households.
And Lian Zining's appointment directly transferred their right-hand men, and even many hundreds of households were not spared, which can be said to be quite a bit of a drawdown, which means that their control over the troops has been greatly weakened!
There is no doubt that this is beneficial to Lian Zining's control of the entire Wuyi Army, and it also prevents the troops from becoming the private army of certain generals.
In the new appointment, there are several names that are very eye-catching, but the names of two Jurchens have appeared among them, namely the 26th Wei Commander Derge and the 29th Wei Commander Ba Buhai, both of whom are the generals of Qianhu under Nurhachi.
The emergence of alien races among high-ranking officials also means that the ethnic integration of this group has been further improved.
Lian Zining said again: "Among them, the twenty-fifth guard, the twenty-sixth guard, and the twenty-ninth guard are cavalry guards. β
"This officer has decided to establish an 'army' level above the Wei level, with one army under two guards, and the supreme commander of the first army is called a general. The staff general is in charge of the march, training, and command affairs of the First Army. β
"The twenty-fourth guard and the first one. The formation of the First Army, the First Army of the Generals. Xiong Tingbi.
The 27th Guard and the 2nd Guard formed the 2nd Army. General of the Second Army, Chen Dakang.
The 28th Guard and the 3rd Guard, the formation of the 3rd Army, the 3rd Army General, Dong Ce.
The 26th Guard and the First Cavalry Guard, the formation of the First Cavalry Army, the General of the First Cavalry Army, Yang Husheng.
The 30th Guard and the 5th Guard formed the Fifth Army. General of the Fifth Army, Du Binglin.
The 25th Guard and the 2nd Cavalry Guard, the 2nd Cavalry Army, the 2nd Cavalry Corps, the General of the 2nd Cavalry Army, Nurhachi.
The 29th Guard and the 3rd Cavalry Guard, the 3rd Cavalry Army, the 3rd Cavalry Army, Zhao Nanjin, the 3rd Cavalry Army.
The 31st Guard and the 8th Guard were formed as the 8th Army. General of the Eighth Army, Wang Ji.
The 32nd Guard and the 9th Guard were formed as the Ninth Army, and the Ninth Army was a general. Dong Hanchen.
The 33rd Guard and the 4th Cavalry Guard, the 4th Cavalry Corps was formed, and the 4th Cavalry Corps was a general. Dong Laohu.
The 34th Guard and the 12th Guard formed the Twelfth Army. General of the Twelfth Army, Qin Liren.
The thirty-fifth and thirteenth guards. The formation of the 13th Army, the 13th Army General, Liu Yihui.
Other than that
The fifth guard of the cavalry, the seventh place in the cavalry, was formed as the Fifth Cavalry Army, the general of the Fifth Cavalry Army, Helian Leopard. Associate Deputy General of Staff, Feng Yan.
The 6th Cavalry Guard, the 8th Cavalry Guard, formed as the 6th Cavalry Army, the 6th Cavalry Corps Counselor, Azig. Associate Deputy Staff General, Zhang 13.
The commander of the first guard of the cavalry of the pro-military battalion was concurrently served by Shi Dazhu, who was still in charge of the dragoons. β
The artillery of the pro-barracks is a thousand households, and Liu Zhen is in charge. ββ
Lian Zining's words were like dropping a depth charge, and everyone who blew up was a little dissatisfied.
They didn't expect that the adults would change the military system and directly increase the establishment of the military level above the guard level. After all, it is the influence of inertial thinking, and the military system of the Ming Dynasty has been used for hundreds of years, and no one has the concept of this change. Lian Zining doesn't think so, in his opinion, it is imperative to increase the military system above the guard.
With the increasing power under his command, the scale of the war will be greater in the future, and the battlefield will never be limited to one place.
After the formation of an army, with the strong strength of the Wuyi Army, the military strength of one or two armies is enough to fight a local war.
Of course, the emotions of the crowd were first astonishment, then ecstasy.
After all, everyone has basically been promoted by one level, from the commander to the general, and many thousands of households are also the commanders of the new guard.
As the team expanded, it was basically an individual who went to a higher place.
The first guard of the cavalry is the fourth guard of the past, commanding Yang Husheng; The second guard of the cavalry was the sixth guard, commanding Nurhachi; The third guard of the cavalry is the seventh guard, commanding Zhao Nanjin; The fourth guard of the cavalry is the eleventh guard, commanding Dong Laohu.
The officials are still the officials, but they have changed their names.
In the days when Lian Zining left, the first guard to the eighth guard of the cavalry had all been reorganized, and under the strong suppression of the leaders of the various tribes, the warriors of those tribes were still very honest and obedient, of course, this kind of meekness was also related to the fact that they had fully seen the strength of the Wu Yi army.
The soldiers of these ethnic minorities have been disrupted and dispersed into their original organizations, and have been organized into eight cavalry guards.
It can be said that there are no wild Jurchen cavalry guards or Han cavalry guards in these eight cavalry guards, and there are Han people in each guard, and there are wild Jurchens, Oroqen and other ethnic minorities. They lived and lived in the same barracks as the Han soldiers, and they also trained in the big school field every day.
The days that Lian Zining left were enough for them to form a preliminary combat strength.
"Do you understand your respective errands?" Lian Zining asked.
"Got it!" The generals responded.
Lian Zining smiled slightly, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to sit down.
This time, it can be regarded as a major integration of all the forces under his command.
"Also, about the logistical aspects of Wu Yijun." Lian Zining continued:
"Change the racecourse to the Yuanma Temple, for the five-grade yamen, set up the Yuanma Temple to manage the management, and specialize in the responsibility of raising horses. It is subordinate to the Logistics Department. β
"Set up a military medical superintendent, set up a director, for the six products; There is one deputy supervisor, who is from the sixth grade; There are five supervisors, who are nine products; There are 15 deputy supervisors. for the nine products; There is one person who has not entered the stream. The military medical superintendent manages the military doctors. It is under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Department. β
"Set up a leather bureau and an ambassador. For the six products, the deputy envoys are two, and they are from the six products, specializing in casting armor. It is under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Department. β
"Set up a saddle bridle bureau, set up an ambassador, for the nine products, two deputy envoys, for the nine products, specializing in the manufacture of saddle bridles. It is under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Department. β
Wang Dachun listened. My heart blossomed, and now the authority of the logistics department has been expanded a lot, and it is clear, which also prevents him from doing some errand like before, for fear that people will say that he is good at specialty.
"Set up a conscription superintendent, which is the yamen of the fifth grade, with one director, two deputy superintendents. From the fifth grade, it is in charge of conscription and is subordinate to the Recruit Department. β
"Finally!" Lian Zining let out a long breath: "Let's talk about the yamen that belongs directly to the commander of the envoys." β
"The Ordnance Bureau has been upgraded to a five-grade yamen, and it is directly under the command of the envoy."
"The Mining Supervision Bureau was upgraded to a five-grade yamen. Directly under the command of the envoy and the governor. β
"The establishment of the bureau will be a member of the five-grade yamen, and the bureau will be a member. It is a positive five products; There is one deputy supervisor, who is from the fifth grade; There are five assistants. It is a positive nine products; There are fifteen deputy assistants, who are from the ninth grade. The bureau will be included in the Mine Supervision Bureau. Specializing in casting farm tools, chariot and horse tools, civil knives and other civilian things. Directly under the command of the envoy and the governor. β
"Set up a salt mining bureau, for the five products of the yamen, set up a bureau is a person, is five products, deputy bureau is a person, from the five products, in charge of the salt field inspection and correction of a number of nine products. He is in charge of mining salt farms, drying salt and digging salt, and is directly under the command of the envoy. β
"Set up the salt transportation department, for the five products of the yamen, set up one person to promote, set up two deputy lifters, for the six products; Set up a person to be from the nine products. The special department will transport the salt to various places, and the direct command will be under the jurisdiction of the envoy. β
"Set up a city to lift the division, for the five products of the yamen, set up a person to lift, for the five products; Set up two deputy lifters, for the five products; Set up a person to be from the nine products. He is responsible for the management of the Songjiang Pier and levies taxes on ships entering and leaving the Pier. Directly under the command of the envoy and the governor. β
"Set up seventy-two government warehouses, each library has a warehouse ambassador, for the nine products, and three deputy envoys for the nine products. The grain, silver, furs, cloths, and special products collected by the Weaving and Dyeing Division, the Taxation Division, the Grain Division, the Siyi Division, and the Municipal Shipping Division, the salt transported by the Salt Transportation Division, the armor made by the Leather Bureau, the weapons made by the Ordnance Bureau, the Tongbao silver ingots minted by the Minting Division, the weapons cast by the Ordnance Bureau, and the utensils made by the Bureau, were all handed over and stored in different categories. Without the warrant of the official, not a penny, not a grain of rice, will not be out of the warehouse. β
Lian Zining said to Shi Kai: "This official has allocated you a piece of land to build these treasury as soon as possible." β
Shi Kai hurriedly responded.
By this time, the whole meeting had been going on for an hour and a half, and it had been running at a high level of mental power, and the emotions were also up and down, and everyone was quite tired and sleepy, but at this point, it was also over.
After announcing the completion of the restructuring, Lian Zining left with the civil officials, and then began to seal the generals.
It has been a long time since the last time the title was canonized, and there have been several major wars in the middle, and the military merits accumulated by these generals are quite rich.
Even Zining was not stingy, and rewarded them one by one according to their military exploits.
As he himself said, there are clear rewards and punishments.
Only in this way is the long-term way.
Everyone's titles have basically improved, Li Tie has been promoted from the seventh rank, from the third rank to the general of Yunlu, to the fifth rank, and in the third rank, the general of Huaihua. Xiong Tingbi was promoted from the eighth rank to the general of Germany from the third rank to the sixth class, and under the third grade, he was returned to the general of Germany. Nurhachi was promoted from the eighth rank to General De from the third rank, and from the third rank, to General Yunlu. The rest of the generals also have their own rewards. Basically, everyone has been promoted one or two steps, and now these generals at the level of the first-level staff general of the Wuyi Army are rarely lower than the rank of the fourth rank, basically within the twelfth rank.
Even Dong Laohu, Liu Yihui, Qin Liren, and other later descenders, Lian Zining never treated them badly, and the three of them were all awarded the twelfth class, and from the fourth grade, they returned to the German Zhonglang General.
After announcing the promotion of their respective titles, Lian Zining held a grand award ceremony.
Lian Zining personally hung the bronze medals engraved with their respective military ranks on their chests, and each of them said a few words of encouragement.
For this medal restructuring, Lian Zining can be said to be well-intentioned.
Each of the generals not only issued two sets of military attachΓ©s of the Ming Dynasty. The complement is embroidered with the regular clothes of a black bear, and two sets of armor are customized for each general. This is the highest-ranking military attache of the Wu Yi Army. The exclusive armor of the general, as long as it appears on the battlefield. Everyone immediately recognized it at first sight.
The armor is made of Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty, the inside is a silk lining, and the outside is a layer of calfskin inner armor, which is soft and comfortable, and can also prevent the skin from being worn by the hard armor. On the outside, there is a slightly thicker layer of leather, and on the outside, it is covered with very thick iron leaves the size of half a palm, which are made of fine steel. The edges glow with a cold blue glow. On the chest, there is a huge heart shield the size of a sea bowl, which is made of solid fine copper, which is very thick and heavy, enough to protect the heart, worthy of the name.
The helmet is silk on the inside, calfskin on the outside, a copper-plated steel plate on the outside, and a high jewel on the top of the head.
A full set of armor. From head to toe, it is delicate and at the same time, it also has a strong protective performance.
When this link is over, today's Wu Yi military political system will be greatly reformed. The overhaul of the military system has come to an end.
In the evening, Lian Zining also had to feast the civil and military officials in the mansion, so he asked them to go back and prepare first. Then come back in the evening.
Just when the civil and military officials dispersed, Lian Zining received an urgent report from Delunwei.
In the study. He looked at the letter in his hand quietly, but his brows were furrowing deeper and deeper.
"I didn't expect that! The White Lotus Sect actually made such a big noise. It seems that it is underestimated, and this is going to sweep the prairie fire! β
After a long time, Lian Zining threw the letter aside and let out a long sigh.
In his impression, in the history of the Ming Dynasty, except for the great uprising of Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, who swept the world in the Chongzhen year and finally subverted the century-old foundation of the Ming Dynasty, there were no decent peasant uprisings throughout the Ming Dynasty. Tang Sai'er called the emperor in the stone shed, but it was just a small fight in a corner of Qingzhou. Liu Liu, Liu Qi, and the white horse thieves swept Hebei, Henan, and Shandong, and in the end, it was not easy for the four foreign armies to be wiped out? As for all kinds of miners' riots and the like, they have never stopped, but there is almost no need for the court to worry about it, and the guards below have been wiped out.
In general, there are many small uprisings, but there are no major uprisings, has Lian Zining personally experienced it soon? The white-robed army in the six counties of Shandong was so vigorous, it wasn't that as soon as the army arrived, the stars immediately dispersed, and now I don't know which corner the turtle has shrunk into.
It was also from that battle that Wu Yijun really began to develop.
And in Lian Zining's impression, in the final Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect really didn't have any big climate, because when Xu Hongru and the White Lotus Sect got into trouble, he didn't pay much attention to it, and he didn't expect to do much at all, but he just hoped that they would last a little longer, and he would be able to get his hands on it and make a profit.
But now it seems that the situation is different.
Take a peek and see the whole leopard, not to mention that the establishment of the Delunwei system is not a trivial matter, from this aspect, Lian Zining can see that there are of course a lot of capable people in the White Lotus Sect, after this Delunwei reform, the entire White Lotus Sect has hugged them together and twisted them into a rope. The peasant rebel army has always been easy to deal with, because although they are large in number, their combat effectiveness is extremely poor, their weapons and equipment are also very poor, and their organizational ability is even more insignificant.
But now, through this series of system reforms and personnel appointments, the White Lotus Sect has organized a well-organized and orderly army with nearly 100,000 people, and with this army as the core, all the soldiers and civilians of the White Lotus Sect have been united together, so that they can maximize their combat effectiveness. Not to mention, according to intelligence, the White Lotus Sect didn't know what method to use, and it also had an elite army with more than 10,000 people, quite strong combat effectiveness, and strict military discipline.
The current White Lotus Sect, sitting on the ground and claiming the king, dividing the generals, and establishing the official system, seems to have a strong posture, if it is not contained, I am afraid that it will raise tigers for trouble, and it will become a prairie fire.
It's just that if you make a move now, isn't it too early?
Not to mention that the great enemy is eyeing the side, and the order of the imperial court has not yet arrived!
After thinking about it for a while, Lian Zining finally sighed, and he had already made a decision in his heart.
Since the territory under the jurisdiction of the general of Liaobei has been destroyed, it is better to make it even worse, if it is not broken, it will not stand, isn't this the truth? What's more, Yang Xuezhong's army may not be so vulnerable, since the White Lotus Sect is powerful, let them consume each other! Before the situation is clear, Wu Yijun must not fall into it, you must know that the army is the foundation of life!
Shaoqing, Chen Tong reported that the banquet had been arranged, and the civil and military officials had also arrived.
Lian Zining also let go of his mind, regardless of these, and went to the meeting.
During the banquet, everyone drank happily, ate and drank, talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
This is indeed the case, after all, Wu Yijun has not been established for a long time, and the factions have not yet been formed, let alone the contradictions between each other, there is not even a shadow. Even if the natural opposition between civilian officials and military generals is now under the pressure of Lian Zining, it is also an intimate cooperation.
But through Li Tie's return, Lian Zining also saw some signs, for example, Qin Liren and Liu Yihui got closer, Wang Ji and Dong Hanchen were quite good friends with Du Binglin, while Nurhachi and Zhao Nanjin were brothers, and Dong Laohu and Dong Sanlin and his son had a general relationship with anyone.
He looked at everyone's demeanor coldly, observed their words and deeds, and after a banquet, he also gained something.
When the banquet was over, Lian Zining announced that each person would be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, which could be regarded as a reward for everyone's hard work during this time. As for the generals and soldiers who have made great contributions in the previous campaigns for more than half a year, from generals to soldiers, even Zining has been rewarded one by one, which is much more generous. The generals commanded these high-ranking officials to be hundreds of taels at every turn, and even those soldiers who fought bravely ranged from five taels to ten taels per person.
ββββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββ
Yesterday, Lian Zining also drank some wine, and came back in the evening to stay at Amber's side.
Although she had just budded Yang Ming'er and was very infatuated with her seductive Γ flesh Γ body, Lian Zining still knew very well who was the eldest woman and who was the real intimate person. If you go to Yang Ming'er every night for the past two days, although you are refreshed, I am afraid that Amber here will be sad.
Sure enough, Amber was surprised and delighted when she saw Lian Zining staying on her side, and her heart was happy and moved, and she deliberately greeted her under the bed.
Tossed for most of the night before falling asleep.
As a result, early in the morning of the second day, Lian Zining was sleeping in a daze, and the maid reported it, and Lord Chen Tong asked to see him.
"Chen Tong? Not? What's the matter with him? Lian Zining woke up from his sleep, he was very irritable, so he wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, although Chen Tong is not very old, he is very calm, and this time he came to see him, it must be a big deal.
He endured the feeling of heaviness in his head because of lack of sleep, sat up, put on his clothes, and said, "Call him to speak outside the door." β
The maid answered, and after a while, the sound of stacked footsteps sounded, and the maid whispered: "My lord, Lord Chen is here." β
"What's the matter with this early morning?" Lian Zining asked lazily.
Chen Tong heard the impatience in Lian Zining's words, his heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "Back to my lord, Shihua Zhang asked to see him outside the door of the Baihu Mansion, saying that the lord explained his important things." β
"Shihua Zhang? Which one of the hundred households of the guard is he? Lian Zining frowned, but he didn't remember who it was.
Outside the door, Chen Tong reminded in a low voice: "My lord, it's our water master hundreds." (To be continued.) )
