Chapter 797 The East Wind Blows The Drums of War (Part 2)
The army of this dynasty is mainly divided into three categories: Beijing army, border army and guard army. The Beijing army is the troops stationed in the capital, and the border army is the troops stationed on the nine borders. The guard army refers to the troops other than the Beijing army and the border army, distributed in various provinces and political and military key national security forces. The main responsibility is to suppress and maintain stability within the country.
The three types of troops have different responsibilities, and the military system and composition are also not. The Guards adopted the system of the guards. The army is a world-wide soldier. Officers can only train troops and have no power to dispatch troops. When encountering war, the court will send another general to command it. Although this can prevent "strong ministers from holding troops, the country will be easy to understand each other." The guards also lack training, and the soldiers and generals have escaped seriously. Therefore, their combat effectiveness has deteriorated. Finally, in recent years, the Japanese riots in the southeast and the rebellion of the southwest chieftains, they have been destroyed in name only. Their functions have been temporarily replaced by the independent recruitment of soldiers from various provinces.
The border soldiers adopt the system of garrison troops. First of all, their source of troops is to draw elite troops from the garrison stations and recruit civilians, which ensures the basic combat effectiveness of the army. Then they adopt the "training of soldiers, generals and regiments" to ensure that the generals have regular soldiers and concentrated troops, which avoids the situation where the generals do not know the troops and neglect training; thirdly, the method of sub-governors and governors can give officials from all walks of life greater military power, which is conducive to unified leadership and coordinated military towns within each war zone to combine them into a whole.
This is obviously a system of warfare, which was a change that had to be taken under the strong pressure of the various ancient tribes. Moreover, under the garrison system, the military power of the governor was slightly increased, but it could only be held by civil servants and was regularly rotated, and the food and salary of the border troops were provided by the central government, which avoided the emergence of local separatism. Despite this, the combat power of the border troops was still the strongest among the Ming army, and it was responsible for resisting the ancient iron cavalry and defending the country.
The military system of the Beijing army is similar to that of the border army. In the early days of the country, it was far higher than the former, similar to the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty. It not only directly shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending the capital, but also if there were major wars in other provinces or borders, the Beijing camp had to draw some elite troops to go for reinforcements and attack. It was known that "as soon as the army came out, all sides were intimidated by surrendering", and its role was to be important and control the world, and was the fundamental guarantee of imperial power.
Therefore, "not only is it a large number, it usually maintains more than 300,000 troops, with a maximum of one million people" and is well-equipped and highly combat power" is a veritable "Sky Army,... Of course, it was the old Huangsheng. With the passing of Emperor Yongle, the Ming Dynasty entered the warehouse and released the horses into the south mountain." The combat power of the Beijing army also quickly decayed in the years of peace, and eventually the entire army was wiped out in the Tumu Fort Incident. Since then, it has been unable to recover and can no longer compete with the border army.
Later, Yu Qian rebuilt the Beijing Army, "changed the original three major camps into the 10th regiment battalion, with about hundreds of thousands of people; in the eighth year of Tianshun, the 12th regiment school was changed again; during the Zhengde period, the 12th regiment battalion was changed to the east and west government offices; in the middle of Jiajing, the three major camps were restored and the Rong government was established, and the Duke of the State was the admiral "Assistant to the Ministry of War" and the military supervisors were fully sacked, and the number of registered people was still 100,000.
In addition to the three major camps of the Beijing army, there are two other troops in Beijing, one is the Jinyi Guard of the Da Nei Imperial Guard who guards the palace. The other is the Four Wuli Guards stationed in the capital. They are the emperor's personal army, shouldering the responsibility of protecting the capital and appreciating the chariots. These two troops are not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, but are directly responsible to the emperor. Their military pay and equipment are also directly collected by the Ministry of War, and they are both the most exquisite and sufficient.
These two troops have always been controlled by the emperor's representative of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. However, after Jiajing was rebelled in his later years, his trust in the eunuch fell to the freezing point, so he handed over the Danei Imperial Guard to the old nobles: the Wurang Guard's Four Guards were handed over to the Ministry of War to govern the Danei Imperial Guard's current Danei Imperial Guard's uncle, the Grand Governor of the Jinyi Imperial Guard, and the Grand Governor of the Qingdu Du Zhong. The Wuxiang Guard's Four Guards were originally commanded by Jiao Ying, the Marquis of Dongning. After he was beaten by Yang Bo, he was replaced by Zhu Xizhong, the brother of Duke Cheng Guo, and Zhu Xixiao, the left Governor of the Jinyi Imperial Guard.
This is the structural status of the Ming army. "The silence of the silence was about to take action. The 100,000 Beijing camps were the silence of the silence of the silence. Of course, the current silence of the silence was Xu Yande, the Duke of Dingguo. However, the old man was old and in poor health. He was sick at home before the New Year and had written several letters to resign. This time, he wanted to reorganize the silence, so he took the opportunity to ask the emperor to approve Xu Yande's resignation and let Jiao Ying take over the position.
一,一“!“一“一,一“一“一,一“一“一“一“一,一“一“一,一凵一“一“一,一“一“一“一“一,一“一,一”一,一”
But Jiao Ying, who claimed to be sick, did not receive the imperial edict, was forced to stay silent and had to come to the door in person, Dun Jiang and him came out of the mountain.
"I can't take this job," Jiao Ying didn't go around in circles with Chen Mo, expressing her concerns: "You know me. Jiao Ziqi is not a person who is afraid of trouble, but the situation here is complicated." She has lived in the capital for hundreds of years and has been entangled too much. She is not like you literati and doctors, just be enterprising." She said as she looked at Chen Mo and said, "Do you understand what we mean?", "I know, we are all related to the old man, you are afraid that you will beat someone else's job." Chen Mo nodded and said, "The Jiao family will not be able to stay in the capital in the future."
"Yes." Jiao Yingshen agreed, "Besides," what is the identity of Duke Ding, how dare I make trouble on Tai Sui." There are only five Dukes left in the Ming Dynasty. In addition to Duke Wei in Nanjing and Duke Mu in Yunnan, there are Duke Ding in the capital, Duke British and Duke Cheng in the capital. The number is even smaller than that of the princes, and his status is higher than that of those vassal kings who have never seen the emperor in their lifetime.
Jiao Ying's family was neither a founding father nor a hero of Jingnan, but an ancient nobleman attached to Hongwu x, who was given the surname Jiao. The marquis who were only granted for their merits during the Tianshun period were neither a well-known woman or a new family. They were originally not among the noble families of the capital, but because of the favor of the late emperor, they suddenly became fair and equal to the three major countries. It is said that people were popular and were envied by others. "A new man like Jiao, who was so popular as purple-black, would have long become the richest man in the capital if he could exchange money for the jealousy."
"I won't make you embarrassed..." After hearing Jiao Ying's explanation, he nodded silently and said, "What if it was Duke Ding who agreed."
"That's true agreement." Jiao Ying said: "If you want to do something, not only him, but also the other two dukes must agree. These three must not be broken up before you can sing this play."
“What if they all agreed.
"I looked at Jiao Ying silently.
"I'll do it with you." Jiao Ying slapped the table and said, "Let me go east but not west, let me chase dogs but not catch chickens."
"Okay!" Simon put down the teacup and stood up and said, "You can wait at home."
Jiao Ying didn't know where the silence came from, but he believed that as long as this guy said that he would do it...
One "one" one", one "one", one "one", one "one" one "one" one "one", one "one" one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one" one "one" one "one, one "one" one "one, one "one" one "one, one "one" one "one, one "one" one "one, one "one" one "one, one "one" one "one, one
The advantage of planning and then acting is that all situations are expected in advance. Once you start to act, you will have solutions to any situation when you encounter them.
That afternoon, Chen Si ordered someone to prepare a perfect gift, and went to Dingfu Street next to Da Nei, east of Qianhai and back to Houhai. As the name suggests, "This street is named after the Dingguo Duke's Mansion. In front of this Dingguo Duke's Mansion, it occupied one side of the street without hesitation. Looking at the endless high walls and green tiles, I felt that I could not walk to the door of the mansion for a long time. Chen Si couldn't help but sigh: As expected, I am not afraid of not knowing the goods, but I was afraid of comparing goods. I thought the Dongning Marquis Mansion was so grand, but compared with the momentum of the Duke's Mansion, I was not worthy of carrying shoes for others.
The layman watched the fun and the insider looked at the tricks. "Silence was not only amazed at the majesty of the Duke Dingguo Mansion, but also admired the location of his five bodies... In terms of its Feng Shui, the location of the Duke Dingguo Mansion occupies an excellent position in the capital. It is said that Beijing has two dragon veins, one is the earth dragon, that is, the dragon vein of the Forbidden City; the other is the water dragon, which refers to the water vein on the Houhai and Beihai. How can the Duke Dingguo Mansion not be prosperous just at the intersection of the two dragon veins?
It is said that this is the mansion that Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, chose when he was staying in Beijing. Looking at the prosperity of his descendants and their descendants, they can see that there are indeed some miracles in the theory of dragon veins.
Thinking about it, the sedan chair stopped. Through the green screen window, he saw the huge stone lions in front of the mansion. Then he came to his senses and said to the outside: "Go and report it."
Hu Yong walked to the gatehouse of the Duke's Mansion with a silent letter. While walking, he still complained to him, "Don't the Duke of the State can meet him at will? If he is turned away, your face will be damaged." He has been in the capital for a long time and is very clear about the human nature here. He knows that these hereditary Dukes are all made of iron and bronze. As long as there is one day in the Ming Dynasty, they will be a top-notch family. Although civil officials can be awesome, you will finish your debut, and no one will have long-term wealth... Even Yan Song, who has been in power for decades, will he end up stealing food in the ancestral hall and settle down in front of the grave?
In the eyes of nobles, civil servants fighting over and over again are like a farce. I don’t know when. The protagonist who showed off his power on the stage was knocked down and never turned over. Therefore, the nobles were always polite and looked down on civil servants and did not really take them seriously. Moreover, the court has always been sensitive to the interaction between nobles and civil servants, so even if they are silent as a bachelor, there is a danger of being turned away.
, it should be better to make an appointment first... Hu Yong muttered to himself, and could only grit his teeth and clasp his fists at the door of the double-pei'er, "Lucky, my master from the middle hall is here to pay homage to the Duke. Please hand me a post."
The family had thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a new hidden blue sè straight collar armor, inside it was a moon-white sticker, "stomached with a snow-white background". There was no drop of sweat in the hot days, and he spoke neither humble nor arrogant nor arrogant, and he looked like a gentleman with a graceful gentleman. This was the style of the Duke's Mansion. No wonder Hu Yong felt ashamed of himself.
The door politely took the famous post "while letting someone go in and report it, he asked Hu Yong to have tea in the doorman. The etiquette was so thoughtful that Hu Yong, who had seen the world, was very moved, but he was still worried about his adults and looked at the side door from time to time.
After waiting for a while, the damn side door never opened, but the even more damn main door slowly opened, and a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old came out, with a handsome figure, light fur, red teeth, white chun, and beautiful clothes. Although he was young, his every move was full of everyone's style, without the slightest breath of fireworks: "My nephew Wenbi welcomed Uncle Shen Shih to come."
"I really want the prince to be a big boss, but I really can't get over it." Siren came down from the sedan chair and smiled to greet the prince." Seeing Xu Wenbi's beautiful appearance, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's true that a new generation has changed to an old person. He still feels old, but looking at the young people, he is really incomparable. However, he didn't know that Xu Wenbi was also secretly shocked. Although he had heard of this young master, he had never seen him before. At this moment, he was indeed more famous... At this time, he was paying attention to three thousand beards, and silence had already accumulated five beautiful beards, with a bookish spirit in his bones. With the majesty and steadyness that was not lu, and he also had a pair of young idols with 100% insight into the world.
Although Xu Wenbi was the prince who was above the top, he was also attracted by his appearance and temperament. He was a little nervous and asked to enter the mansion in silence.
Looking at the adult being invited in respectfully, Hu Yong, standing outside the door, smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm called... servants to disturb themselves." "It's a mediocre person, Brother Hu." After a while, the two of them had already fought fiercely, and the door reminded in a low voice.
"It's almost the same." Hu Yong grinned and said, "It's cool to go in, don't get sunbathed here." Then he turned around and entered the doorman.
The door looked at the slowly closed door and felt a little surprised. I haven't seen the mansion open the main door to greet anyone...
1, one "one" "one "one" "one "one", one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one", one "one "one "one", one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one "one""
After entering the mansion, Xu Wenbi asked silently to sit on the carriage and lift it up, and then the sedan chairmen started to move forward steadily.
Compared with the unique and ingenious Dongning Hou Mansion, "Dingguo Duke's Mansion is more majestic. The mansion buildings are divided into three roads, east, middle and west. Each road from south to north is composed of a strict central axis, and the four-entry courtyards run through. The roofs of the halls on the middle road are all made of green glazed tiles," demonstrating the majesty and temperament of the Duke's Mansion.
However, for Chen Si, the ingenious ingenuity of the Dongning Marquis Mansion could move him. No matter how grand the Duke Mansion was, it was nothing more than a smaller palace. "There was no chance for Chen Ge Lao who worked in the palace all day, even a little bit of amazement. But his calmness, which fell into Xu Wenbi's eyes, became Lord Shen's appearance, calm and calm expression, and he couldn't help but increase his favor.
The two passengers carried the carriage through the Yuemen Cave in the front yard and walked towards the back house. This was to treat him as a close guest, and it seemed as if he was quiet and peaceful. He walked through the back garden of the Duke's Mansion. "The ancient trees in the garden were towering, strange rocks were surrounded by mountains and water, pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, and corridors were turned around, which was much more attractive than the front yard. Looking at the green mountains and clear waters in silence, the winding paths suddenly reminded me of the words in my heart. "No wonder people said that "the poor say that they are rich must be, and they wear gold and silver." The real rich young man said that he was rich, but he said that the play was gone. "The lights went down the stairs. Without this environment, this condition really could not cultivate real nobles... But when I thought about it, I didn't want to train my sons to be nobles, why envy them?
While thinking about it, he lifted the carriage and landed on the ground under a lush vine vine. After silence, he saw an old man wearing a sermon robe sitting on a recliner and smiling at himself: "The disabled person cannot be treated with all his tribute, Mr. Jiangnan must not be surprised."
The old man's appearance was quite similar to that of Xu Wenbi. He was silent and raised his carriage, so he listened to Xu Wenbi's introduction: "This is my father."
"The official is silent to pay homage to the Duke of the State." Chen Si quickly bowed to the end... It is said that the Grand Secretary and the Duke of the State met peacefully, but he didn't mind paying homage to the No. 1 nobleman of the State.
Xu Yande quickly asked the prince to support Chen Si and asked him to sit down and have tea. There was a stone table and four stone benches next to the Duke of Ding. "The prince was accompanying him in the first place. At some point, the sedan chair had already retreated silently." Only the three of them were left under the vine rack.
"This is really a place for immortals." The thick shade of vines blocked the sunlight, and the cool breeze blew, which made people feel refreshed and silent, saying: "The prince is so enjoyable."
"What are you enjoying or not?" Xu Yande smiled happily and said, "The medicine is just a swelling."
Xu Wenbi stood up and smiled and said, "Father talked to Uncle Shen Shi, I'll make tea for you." "How dare you bother the prince?" "Let him go." There are no outsiders today." Xu Yande smiled and said, "Don't call him prince, just call Wenbi."
"How dare you go floating?"
As the two of them spoke, Xu Wenbi stood up and went to a corner of the vine rack, where a wooden bucket was suspended. The bottom of the bucket seemed to be a sand filter. Only when there was a broken pearl-like water droplet seeping out from the bottom of the bucket. The water droplets flowed into a wide bamboo gua about a meter long and covered with inches of thick silver and fine sand. Finally, these crystal clear water droplets filtered by the fine sand dripped into a shiny white-bottomed green porcelain basin.
Looking at this set of things, an advertisement suddenly popped up in Silent's mind: Wahaha pure water, twenty-four layers of purification... I thought I was very particular about drinking tea, but I didn't expect that a mountain was higher than a mountain, and there was something more particular about it.
Seeing him take a look at the filter device, Xu Yande smiled and said, "If you don't do this, you will ruin the tea sent by his uncle in Nanjing."
Xu Pengju's face with "Wine, wealth, and wealthy" appeared in his silent mind, and couldn't help but smile and said, "I didn't expect that the Duke of Wei also has this kind of elegance."
"Hehe, he wants to be so good at this. He only produces five kilograms a year, and Longyuan is better than snow." It's not my turn to take it." Xu Yande smiled proudly.
Chapter completed!
