Chapter 23 Chongzhen's Decision
For the many bandit forces that ravaged and threatened the Shanxi and Shaanxi area, no one would believe that no matter whether it was a national dynasty or a local area, it would still be believed that in the next ten years, the heavy damage would be caused to the Ming Dynasty, and even the Ming Dynasty's national fortune would be destroyed by the bandits.
Emperor Chongzhen initially set up a special military office to concentrate the many wars that emerged from Jianlu Eight Banners and bandit forces, the two rebel forces that threatened the stability of the country and the dynasty, were concentrated in one place to make arbitrary decisions.
In fact, it was unrealistic to establish the Military Affairs Office in the center and completely interfere in the fight against the rebellion. This was an unrealistic thing. Emperor Chongzhen made a lot of plans for this.
He condemned Sun Chengzong to take charge of Liaodong and changed his original strategy to treat Jianlu.
Jianba Liu Xingzuo served as the general of Dongjiang Town and took over refugees under Pidao.
Lu Xiang was promoted to the position of governor of Northern Zhili, and identified the important location of Jimiyong Sanjie, and transferred to the position of general officer of Shanhaiguan, Jizhou Town, Xuanfu Town and other departments.
Zu Dashou was promoted to serve as the right deputy general of Shenshu Camp, and transferred Wu Xiang and other Liaodong generals to enhance Zu Dashou's position in Beijing Camp.
He planned to be the governor of Shandong and Sun Yuanhua became the governor of Denglai.
The Military Affairs Office formulated a new system for distributing food and wages.
etc.
The above plans and deployments are all about removing the centralization of Liao Front, improving the strategic position of Dongjiang Town, suppressing the madness of Liaodong generals, and clarifying the general strategic policy of "maritime harassment and large-scale training of Liaonan" to delay the unrestrained development of the embattled army.
The layout of Liaodong has shown initial results, but Emperor Chongzhen did not make any arrangements in the Shanxi and Shaanxi areas.
It’s not that Emperor Chongzhen doesn’t want to make arrangements.
He is really the one who can be used under his command and has not yet achieved his predetermined goal.
In the creation of the martial arts lecture hall, Zhou Yuji and Cao Wenzhao, these tiger generals, are still in the exploration stage. As a benchmark for cultivating professional soldiers, many things have not been implemented yet. Even if Emperor Chongzhen wants to do more things, he must do them in combination with reality.
Diligence and self-restraint are the standard configuration of the Holy Emperor.
But disorderly and mindless diligence in self-restraint will only lead to the chaos of the Ming Dynasty. This is not what Emperor Chongzhen wanted.
"It means that the overall opinion of the Military Affairs Office recognizes Yang He's memorial, and wants to ask Yongweiying to rush to Shaanxi to quell the rebellion?" Emperor Chongzhen looked serious and looked at Wang Qia, Zhou Yanru and the others.
"This proposal...I am not unable to be approved, but the Yongwei camp is my personal army. Even if it goes to Shaanxi to suppress the rebellion, it cannot be under the jurisdiction of Yang He or other officials in terms of subordinates."
Considering that the third year of Chongzhen was a turning point in the Ming army's rebellion against various bandits, Yang He's strategy of suppressing and pacifying and applying did not bring benefits to the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, it was said that the Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses, which led to the strength of the bandits in various bandits. It was even called Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, and Li Zicheng, the bandit leaders, rose strongly.
No matter what purpose Yang He was for, from which channel he learned about Zhou Yuji and the others, he went to Shanxi to rule and made a big deal.
In order to ensure that the bandits ravaging the Shanxi and Shaanxi areas would not break through to the Central Plains and create greater passivity for the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and decided to condemn the Yongweiying camp to go to Shaanxi to suppress the rebellion.
However, Emperor Chongzhen, the generals and school schools in the high-level martial arts lecture hall, must be carefully selected. They are like Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi, the former generals and school schools in Dongjiang must not be released easily before they are completely transformed. Emperor Chongzhen does not want to raise a tiger to cause trouble.
In addition, it must be clear who will be governed by the Yongwei Camp sent to Shaanxi. Local officials in Shaanxi cannot be asked to take over the charge. Otherwise, if the emperor is far away, it will definitely not be difficult to kill the entire Yongwei Camp.
“…”
Emperor Chongzhen's words were called Wang Qia, Zhou Yanru, Wang Zaijin, and Huang Liji, and other military ministers, looking at each other. They didn't understand the emperor's intention, so how did they solve it?
"Your Majesty said very much."
But obviously in the field of thinking about the holy will, Zhou Yanru was better. "Yongweiying was the personal army of the emperor. Even if he was condemned to send them to Shaanxi to suppress the rebellion, his rule could not be delegated.
In addition, as a guest army, Yongweiying went to Shaanxi to participate in the fight against rebellion, supply of food and grass, and the provision of various military supplies, which are all major problems.
I beg your Majesty to be grateful to the Military Affairs Office, and to launch the bandits to quell the rebellion, select ministers from the Military Affairs Office, and be responsible for all matters in the War War.
In this way, if there are local negotiations, the Military Affairs Bureau may send a special office to fight the rebellion. If it involves fighting the rebellion, the Yongwei Camp will judge the situation."
After all, it is Zhou Yanru. His ability to figure out people's hearts is not ordinary strength.
Take the front finger I used before and apply it to the case of suppressing rebellions and bandits in Shanxi and Shaanxi. In this way, the state dynasty also cut a nail into the Shanxi and Shaanxi area.
In the future, it will be related to important battles. The Military Affairs Office can know the situation as soon as possible. If you have any good plans, you can also send them to the front of the siege.
"This proposal is good, I've approved it."
Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while and said, "Jin Jing Counselor Jin Sheng, who is responsible for sending thieves from outside the Military Affairs Department to suppress the rebellion and give the emperor a sword.
A group of generals and schools were drawn from the Xiyuan Martial Arts Hall, and rushed to Shanxi with Jin Sheng, met with Yongweiying, and went to Shaanxi to participate in the fight against the rebellion.
Zhou Yuji, the chief general of the Yongwei camp, was promoted to General Zhaoyong, and was appointed as General Zhaoyong, and was appointed as General General of the Kowloon. He led Chen Jisheng, Liu Xingzhi, Cao Wenyao and others to quell the rebellion under the orders.
Zhou Yuji was also ordered to establish the Pingko Military Academy. When participating in the fight against the rebellion, he would cultivate talents for the dynasty and to purge the bandits and rebels from all over the country as soon as possible!
The Military Affairs Office immediately issued an imperial edict."
"I will obey the order!"
Wang Qiao, Zhou Yanru and others, who had their own thoughts, hurriedly responded.
‘Zhou Cuifeng, don’t let me down.’
Looking at the people leaving, Emperor Chongzhen sitting on the dragon throne, he said in his heart: "Originally, I wanted to send you out to Dongjiang Town, but now it seems that you should still be the first to stand out."
Don't worry, even if you are sent to Shaanxi to suppress the rebellion, I will form an adequate military corps for you, and in addition, I will give you some list of military generals in Shanxi and Shaanxi.
With this Pingko Martial Arts Hall, all the previous learnings in the Xiyuan Martial Arts Hall can be passed down, so that the Yongwei Camp can become stronger step by step.’
Emperor Chongzhen must have used the loyal and capable Zhou Yuji with confidence and courage.
The few deputy generals he led, as well as the middle and low-level generals and schools selected from the martial arts lecture hall, and the Yongwei camp led by him, could be supplied in time as long as the food, money and military supplies were provided, and several loud battles were fought in the fight against the rebellion in the third year of Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen took the opportunity to expand the Yongwei camp and set a 50,000 entrusted!!
