Chapter 303 I don't know the whole picture, I sneer
Time flies, and before you know it, another half a month has passed.
With the gradual deepening of the Beijing camp rectification, from the outside to the inside, such a drastic move has aroused widespread discussion and praise from the Six Ministries, Ke Dao civil officials.
Wang Ziteng seemed to have become the mainstay of the Han army, and he was in the limelight in Shenjing City for a while.
Without him, the rectification of Qiu Ba in the army has nothing to do with the vital interests of the civil servants. Instead, it suppresses the military officials and limits the military strength. This is the unanimous appeal of these civil officials.
The thieves from the Sanfu area of Gyeonggi entered the city of Shenjing to cause chaos. Is there anyone more incompetent than Jingying?
In the past ten days, Wang Ziteng dispatched generals and schools to act resolutely, and went hand in hand to investigate the Fenwu Camp, Ganyong Camp, Shenwei Camp, Guyong Camp, and Yaowu Camp, and initially eliminated nearly 1 old and weak soldiers. .
Such a vigorous and smooth rectification process naturally gave Wang Ziteng confidence.
But as Wang Ziteng cut down more and more generals and soldiers, resentment and dissatisfaction were brewing, occasionally mixed with the instigation and connection of some people who plotted against the law, the Beijing camp was already like a powder keg, and only needed a little spark.
Jingying, Nancheng Daying
In the barracks of the Guoyong camp, flames were burning in the charcoal brazier, dissipating the bone-chilling chill in the harsh winter.
Jia Heng sat behind the handsome table, the young man was dressed in the official robe of a second-rank military officer, with a solemn demeanor, his stern gaze glanced at the generals and civil servants sitting on the chairs on both sides.
"Supervisor, the first phase of the four new recruit battalions of Fenglinhuo, the formation training has ended, and the tactical training of the teaching battalion is also underway." General Shao Chao stood up and said with fists clasped.
In half a month, the young man in front of him left early and returned late, lived and trained with the general and school, and personally trained in the teaching camp.
The so-called teaching battalion is a model teaching battalion that Jia Heng selected from the Yuanguoyong battalion, who had been out of the city to suppress bandits before, and who were commended for their bravery and bravery.
Jia Heng nodded, and said: "After half a month of training, the soldiers barely followed orders. We will wait for two days to rest before training."
Because the refugees have just been released from the state of starvation, it is not suitable for physical training first, and they can only carry out formation formation, cultivate discipline and obedience, and cultivate team awareness.
And half a month later, the young and strong man who was originally depressed and sallow has recovered his complexion, and the next step is to practice knives and guns, as well as basic physical and labor training.
Everything has a gradual process.
If you want to speed, you can't reach it.
Jia Heng looked at the generals Shan Ming, Xiao Lin and Du Feng again and said, "Five Armies, Shenji, Shenshu Three Battalions, how is the morale, fighting strength, and discipline of the armies?"
Now the Guoyong Battalion is divided into two systems, the old and the new, while the former Five Army, Shenshu, and Shenji Battalions are supervised by these three generals for the overall training.
But this kind of dispatch is usually a temporary dispatch, and Jia Heng can take it away with a word.
Xiao Lin expressed admiration, and said: "In the past few months, Marshal Lai has vigorously rectified military discipline, and the morale of the soldiers has been improved. The old and weak troops have also been transferred to the engineer battalion. The transformation of elite soldiers and strong generals has already seen results."
The engineering battalion is the auxiliary army. This is the temporary battalion leader Jia Heng set up for the temporary placement of the old and weak army over 40 years old in the Guoyong camp.
The salary is halved, and there are about two to 3000 people, helping the recruits' families to build houses, dig ditches, and repair barracks.
At the beginning, these old soldiers still complained, but as the rectification of the Beijing [-]th Regiment was in full swing, it turned into a balance.
Helping the military families who came to Beijing to resettle new recruits build houses, it seems like an engineering unit.
Du Fengning said: "Marshal, these old soldiers have to keep supporting them, I'm afraid the Ministry of War will not agree."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "If you don't raise auxiliary soldiers, you can only recruit civilians to disturb people's livelihood in local states and counties. As for these veteran soldiers, when they are older, if they are good at work, they can undertake some construction of embankments. , Building bridges, dredging roads and other projects to make a living.”
This is the way he planned for the elimination of the old army.
Otherwise, tens of thousands of people will be laid off at once in the Beijing camp, and there will be no public security, procuratorate and legal department to resettle them and change jobs, which will easily become a factor of social instability.
Construction workers, in the future, will be engaged in work such as repairing bridges and paving roads, and undertaking construction projects by the government, so they don't need to be led by local officials to indiscriminately issue corvee.
Of course, he can still dominate the doorway here.
Du Feng cupped his hands and said: "The commander-in-chief is far-sighted, and the general will admire him in the end."
At this time, Cai Quan said: "My lord, recently there are a few censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate who have been spying outside the camp, and they seem to be looking for faults to impeach."
Speaking of which, it was Jia Heng's training that caused some turmoil, but because the Beijing Chinese and military officials were all attracted by Wang Ziteng's army, it did not cause any turmoil.
Jia Heng frowned, and said: "The military camp is not allowed to spy, if there is more spying, arrest them first."
There were only a few people, and a soldier from outside came to report, "Commander Shen Yan, commander of the five city soldiers Ma Sixi, asked to see the commander in chief."
Not long after, Shen Yan, Commander of Wucheng Bingma Sixicheng, stepped into the barracks. The Deputy Commander of Zhongcheng, who had joined Jia Heng at the beginning, was wearing a sixth-rank military officer uniform with a dignified face. When he entered the camp, he clasped his fists and saluted: "My lord, something happened outside the Bingma Yamen."
Jia Heng paused, and said, "What happened?"
All the generals in the barracks looked at each other in blank dismay.
Just now they were talking about the Ministry of War, why did something happen to the Ministry of War.
Shen Yan said anxiously: "The original generals and soldiers of the Jingying, about a hundred people, surrounded the front of the military office, confronting the soldiers of the military office. Many people from the Jingzhao Mansion and ours have gone."
Jia Heng frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Did Si Ya take precautions against this?"
Shen Yan smiled wryly and said: "My lord, there are quite a few middle and low-ranking generals in the Beijing camp who live in Shenjing City. No matter how defensive the officials are, they cannot prevent them from going home. It's getting louder and louder, but it's not letting these storm the military office."
Wang Ziteng dismissed many generals and schools. How could these generals be willing? As Wang Ziteng eliminated more and more soldiers, these people began to connect together and gathered in front of the Ministry of War to ask for explanations.
In fact, in the past few days, two or three similar incidents have occurred one after another.
Some went to the Five Capital Governor's Mansion to stop a few governors, some were looking for senior generals of the [-]th Regiment Battalion, and some went to the Ministry of War to ask for an explanation. Controlled by the soldiers garrisoned by Yasi, hand it over to Wucheng Bingmasi or Jingzhao Yamen.
Now there are nearly a hundred people, which is a bit scary.
Jia Heng said: "Who has gone? Is the situation serious?"
Shen Yan said: "Because we discovered it in time, we mobilized our soldiers. Commander Xie led 500 people to help. In addition, people from Jingzhao Yamen, Wucheng Bingma Division and the Ministry of War are coordinating to calm down."
When Jia Heng heard that Xie Zaiyi was there, he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "What does the Ministry of War say?"
"My lord, someone from the Ministry of War told us to arrest him quickly so as not to affect our official duties, and asked to send more soldiers to guard and guard." Shen Yan said.
Central institutions such as the Sixth Ministry had original security forces, but they were not too strong, and the Wucheng Bingma Division sent soldiers to focus on inspections.
Jia Heng thought for a while, and said: "Don't pay attention to it, the old rules, comfort people, treat them with good wine and good meat, try not to cause conflicts, and I will enter the palace immediately to play something later."
In the past few days, whether it was discovered by the five city soldiers or delivered by themselves, they usually deal with it in this way. They are entertained with good wine and good wine. Dispersed, and then persuaded to return.
Of course, this is a disturbance against unarmed.
Now, the gathering of people at the entrance of the military department has seen signs of "mutiny", and he needs to enter the palace to remind the emperor.
Jia Heng thought of this, his eyes were deep, and a thought flashed in his heart.
The emperor at this moment is very optimistic. Just yesterday, Wang Ziteng entered the palace to report the progress of the army. It is said that the emperor Longyan was very happy, and he stayed with Wang Ziteng for dinner, and gave him silk again, praising him for his courage.
This is the third commendation in more than ten days.
It can be seen from this that the emperor has been somewhat dazzled by Wang Ziteng's "vigorous action" and "drastic".
It has to be said that Wang Ziteng was not a fool, he was completely defenseless, he used Pang Shili, a member of the Yangwei camp, to lead his troops back and forth to frighten him. In the beginning, when the whole army was small, which general would dare to make any changes?
Mutiny?
Before the iron fist falls, you will be lucky.
But now that the number of people is huge, it is obviously a bit overwhelming.
"These soldiers, if they were refugees before and still had the mentality of awe of the court, they would not dare to make trouble, but now these are people who have used swords and guns in the army, and they don't have the courage to fight with Jiannu and bandits. But he has the courage, and the more people there are, the more courageous he will be, because the law does not punish the crowd." Jia Heng's heart flashed a haze, thinking of this, he looked at Shen Yan and said: "Send more people, if there are soldiers who make trouble , Those who beat, smashed, burned and looted will be punished on the spot, and will not be tolerated, but if they are empty-handed, they just gather and make noise, so we still need to persuade them more."
Shen Yan cupped his hands and said: "Humble job, go to the Ministry of War to watch."
Jia Heng nodded, and said: "Go ahead, try not to use weapons, and you know how to appease him."
"My lord, don't worry." Shen Yan cupped his hands and turned to leave.
As for how to appease him, he naturally believed in Wang Jieshuai, the imperial court, and the Holy Majesty, and he would definitely arrange it properly. It was almost noon, and a banquet was prepared for the brothers, and so on.
If it weren't for the winter solstice in two days, we could still eat dumplings together.
After Shen Yan left, Fan Yi said: "My lord, the Beijing camp is eager for quick success, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
Jia Heng nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The imperial court is in a hurry to use troops. The battle a few months ago was too miserable, and the Beijing camp is so miserable. It is human nature to be eager for success."
Of course, the emperor was also a little impatient.
Even if the Son of Heaven said he was not in a hurry, he was more anxious than anyone else in his heart. The northern border was rampant, the internal bandits were in turmoil, and the Chonghua Palace and the Supreme Emperor were watching coldly. people watch.
Now that the prince has the opportunity to take advantage of this eagerness for success, it is the time of the spring breeze.
"Don't talk about it, I'm going to play in the palace right now."
No matter what, he must remind the emperor, otherwise the emperor will come back to think about his ability to predict things, and he will become ignorant.
Of course, you can't learn from Tian Feng and his ilk, just committing crimes and admonishing them directly.
Daming Palace, in the side hall study
Emperor Chongping was reviewing the memorial, and in his hand was Wang Ziteng's memorial. This emperor, who was always serious and unsmiling, had a slight joy on his face.
After half a month of rectification, the atmosphere in the Beijing camp has changed drastically, and a total of 9 or [-] vacancies have been found, and the five regiment battalions in the eleventh regiment battalion are also being rectified in an orderly manner.
In short, the situation is gratifying.
In fact, in the large-scale rectification of the Beijing camp, it is the easiest to check the empty quota. It is nothing more than counting the leaders and checking the roster.
These military generals may be able to collude to deceive the civilian officials from the Ministry of War, but in the eyes of Prince Teng, who was born as a military general, he ordered his cronies to conduct a census of the entire army, and there was nothing to hide.
Therefore, Wang Ziteng mobilized the Central Guard Army almost immediately, and found out that there were 9 or [-] vacancies in the Beijing Camp. There are only [-] to [-] soldiers on the list.
Although it was shocking to eat vacancies and embezzle ink soldiers' wages, the discovery of so many vacancies greatly encouraged Emperor Chongping and the civil and military officials in Shenjing City.
At least in the past, the Beijing camp was impenetrable with water and impenetrable with needles.
Now that the real number of soldiers is exposed, it can save a lot just because the Ministry of War owes a few months of military pay.
According to Wang Ziteng's military strategy, this is only the first step, and it will be completed within two days.
The second step is to eliminate nearly [-] old and weak for the remaining eleven battalions, leaving [-] elite.
Then, one after another, elites from various provinces were recruited to the Beijing camp to fill up the number of troops, strong and weak branches. In the end, the overall strength of the Beijing camp was roughly [-] to [-].
If Jia Heng's 20 Guoyong Battalion is added, the force can be reduced to less than [-].
This plan won the approval of Shi Jie, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Yang Guochang, Minister of the Ministry of Households. The ruling and opposition parties also praised Wang Ziteng's move.
Because, this is very close to Shi Jie, Minister of the Ministry of War, the Beijing camp quota that was discussed with Jia Heng at the beginning, that is, less than 20 to relieve the financial embarrassment.
Emperor Chongping looked at the memorial, gradually put down the memorial in his hand, rubbed the center of his eyebrows, and was a little uncertain for a while.
Gain, it was written in the memorandum, "I thought that after the consolidation of the Beijing camp, the strength of the Guoyong camp was the largest in the Beijing camp, and there were still more than [-] soldiers under its command. I secretly thought that the Guoyong camp was old and weak. Discretionary quota, Kuang Chen heard that the recruits of the Guoyong camp did not use bows and shoot, did not form battle formations, and were obsessed with the distinction between left and right... I have led the army for many years, but I have never heard of such methods of training troops, it is unconventional and unconventional, it is puzzling."
Although this memorial did not impeach Jia Heng directly, it was also an expression of dissatisfaction.
The [-]th and [-]th Battalions of the Beijing Camp have to be rectified. Why is the Guoyong Battalion different?
As the governor of the Beijing camp, he couldn't rectify the Guoyong camp?
It can be said that it was Wang Ziteng's "counterattack" after he believed that the rectification of the Beijing camp had been half done, and he had long disliked Jia Heng.
Moreover, Wang Ziteng's move, because of the relatives of the Jia and Wang families, this letter, which was intended to be delivered to the Secretary of the General Administration and copied from the six subjects, has already aroused the praise of the officials of the Branch and Dao: "Wang Jieshuai is high-spirited and virtuous, and he is loyal to the country." .”
At the same time, Ke Dao, the official, finally noticed Jia Heng, an army that was wandering in the Beijing camp for rectification this time. This is what Cai Quan said just now. paving the way for impeachment.
And the question itself is a fact.
At the beginning, Jia Heng recruited and surrendered the rebels, added refugees to the Guoyong camp, and quickly filled up the [-] vacancies. Although they had to be trained and eliminated in the past few days, they still had a solid number of troops, which can be said to be the largest among all the camps.
In the past half month, Jia Heng's drill for the recruits of the Guoyong Battalion has even aroused some criticism.
A few words spread to Wang Ziteng's ears, but of course he didn't know the whole picture, so he scoffed.
