Fang Congzhe, Wang Xiangqian, Qin Liangyu and other ministers all stood respectfully.
Zhu Youxiao continued: "Therefore, we must prepare for a rainy day from now on, instead of waiting for She Chongming to clearly rebel before taking action. We must first unify the command and immediately draft an edict to set up a five-province economic strategy, including Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Once there is a change in the military forces of the five provinces of Huguang, Guangdong and Guangxi, they can quickly mobilize troops to deal with it. Yuan Keli was promoted to be the governor of the five provinces with the title of left minister of the Ministry of War. The governor of Liaodong was replaced by Sun Chuanting, who was newly transferred to Liaodong as the right counselor."
Prior to this, Zhu Youxiao had promoted Sun Chuanting from the post of Fang Si Lang in the Ministry of War to the right counselor in Liaodong to increase his experience as a local official.
Because Zhu Youxiao knew that Sun Chuanting was an official who was very good at leading troops in history.
What made Zhu Youxiao not disappointed was that Sun Chuanting was not involved in Zhang Heming's corruption case when he was an official in the Ministry of War.
Therefore, he also intended to train Sun Chuanting. He first promoted him from the county magistrate to the Ministry of War to familiarize himself with the secrets. Later, he asked him to go to Liaodong to take over Wang Huazhen's position and familiarize himself with the war in Liaodong together with Yuan Keli and Xiong Tingbi.
Now that Zhu Youxiao has appointed him as the governor of Liaodong, it is natural for him to start leading troops to test his talents.
Yuan Keli had fought against the Donglu many times in Liaodong, and because of his strong strategic awareness and flexible tactics, he did not suffer much in the confrontation with Nurhaci. Although he did not win a big victory, he did not lose, at most. They returned without success, and even beheaded many small victories at level 100, and also slaughtered several villages in Donglu.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao felt that Yuan Keli could become the kind of commander who could stand alone, so he decided to let him manage the troops in the southwest and the five nearby provinces and coordinate the dispatch. This might prevent the She'an Rebellion from happening like in history. Big loss.
"It is decreed that out of the more than 17 million shi of grain obtained after the payment of the tax this time, 1 million shi will be directly transferred to Sichuan and Guizhou to prepare for emergencies. In addition, all the white-armed soldiers under Qin Liangyu's command will be transferred Returning to Sichuan, Qin Liangyu served as the governor of the five provinces as the left governor. Under the control of the economy, he was ready to lead the provincial soldiers and horses to suppress the She Chongming tribe and other rebellious chieftains. He allocated 300,000 taels of gold and silver and brought them back to Sichuan. Training troops in Zhongzhou to prepare for great use! The 1,000th headquarters of the Guards rushed to Liaodong to participate in the war and served as Sun Chuanting's standard camp."
Zhu Youxiao gave orders at this time.
The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.
Therefore, he simply transferred 1 million shi of grain received after this call for taxes to the southwest for preparation. At the same time, he asked Qin Liangyu to return to Sichuan to strengthen the southwest defense and prepare for war.
"I obey the decree!"
Fang Congzhe replied and drafted a decree.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Qin Liangyu also replied.
in this way.
Zhu Youxiao made plans in advance for the upcoming She'an Rebellion in the southwest.
As for She Chongming's request to lead troops to Liao, Zhu Youxiao directly asked Fang Congzhe to keep him, without giving She Chongming a reply, so that She Chongming could not guess the emperor's attitude.
It is already mid-October of the first year of Tianqi.
Zhu Youxiao found out that it had been more than a year since he became Emperor Qi of the Great Tomorrow.
But what he had to admit was that the situation in Ming Dynasty had not completely improved, and the increasingly cold weather was still making people feel unbearable.
Because Zhu Youxiao remembered that in the Ming Dynasty, there would not only be a civil strife from the southwest, but also a civil strife from Shandong, provoked by Xu Hongru of the White Lotus Sect.
If these two civil strife are not handled well, they will affect the Ming Dynasty's process of pacifying the Donglu and the process of internal reform.
Zhu Youxiao did not want these two civil strife to be quelled by consuming a lot of manpower, material and financial resources as before, so as to give Donglu a chance to breathe.
"In the final analysis, the decline in national strength and the widening gap between the rich and the poor have led to the intensification of internal and external troubles. Next, we must continue to carry out drastic reforms so that the empire can continue to be strong and prosperous and avoid these internal and external troubles. To continue reform, we must also You have to make your imperial power even greater, and to have greater power, you have to have more and stronger soldiers in your hands!
The private soldiers of loyal ministers and generals such as Qin Liangyu and Qi Jin alone cannot permanently protect the imperial power. Once these people are gone, I, the emperor, will suddenly become an emperor without much military power. I still have to make the personal army under my control more and more powerful. "
When Zhu Youxiao thought of this, he asked Xu Guangqi, Minister of the Ministry of War, to accompany him to the school grounds where his Guards were trained for inspection.
With the training of the first batch of Habayashi Guards starting at the end of June, the first batch of Habayashi Guards are now almost fully trained, and they have been organized into a battalion, collectively known as the Kaikon Guard Battalion.
The Guards Battalion has three thousand headquarters.
Two infantry thousand headquarters and one cavalry thousand headquarters.
In addition to the cavalry thousand headquarters, which is composed of 500 horse-riding Yulin guards personally selected by experienced cavalry veterans Niu Bingzhong and You Shigong, the infantry thousand headquarters are all organized in the Yuanyang formation, with a total number of 1,300. About a hundred people.
The main firearms are the total gun and the turtle dove gun.
The artillery is the Fo Lang machine gun and the Tiger Crouching Cannon.
The entire Guards Battalion is led by Zhu Youxiao as the battalion officer.
Therefore, the generals of the three thousand headquarters of the Guards Battalion are directly under the command and control of Zhu Youxiao.
However, Zhu Youxiao's training of the Yulin Guards' new army was different from other Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers.
In order to strengthen the ideological control of all Habayashi Guards and maintain checks and balances, Zhu Youxiao followed the example of later generations and established two equal-level officer positions in each level of military units of the Guards Battalion.
In addition to being commanded by a Qian General, the three thousand headquarters of the Guards also have a training officer with the title of Qian Hu who is responsible for other affairs of the entire Qian Headquarters except military command. He has the final decision-making power and can also be made in the absence of the Qian General. command the entire army.
Now the three thousand headquarters of the entire Guards Battalion have been reorganized, and officials at all levels have been appointed.
Ma Xianglin serves as the commander of the 1,000th Infantry Headquarters, while Zhang Tongchang serves as the training officer.
Zhou Yuji serves as the commander of the 2,000th Infantry Headquarters, while Lu Xiangsheng serves as the training officer.
Niu Yong serves as the commander of the 1,000th Cavalry Headquarters, while Huang Degong serves as the training officer.
The chief officers of the three thousand headquarters are all students from the Daming Military Academy who trained with Emperor Zhu Youxiao.
Basically, the students from the Daming Military Academy who trained with Zhu Youxiao all held higher positions in the Guards Battalion.
Only Guo Mu, who trained with the emperor, still only served as a general flag officer, the lowest position among the students in the same team who trained with the emperor.
"Your Majesty is here!"
When Lu Jiude's voice sounded, all the officers and soldiers of the Guards Battalion couldn't help but straighten their appearance and straighten their bodies further.
Most of them were in high spirits, looking at His Majesty the Emperor with enthusiasm.
Only Guo Mu's eyes were a little dodgeful and he glanced at Chen Xin, because Guo Mu knew that among the students who were in the same team with His Majesty, Chen Xin had the lowest official position besides himself, while Luo Zhijie had the highest. It was a surprise to all of them that he was actually appointed to the official position before Ma Xianglin, and directly commanded the general affairs, and was promoted to the fourth rank.
But what makes Guo Mu quite frustrated is that even though Chen Xin, who has the lowest official position among the students in the same team besides him, is second only to Commander Qian, he is the only one who is not even a sentry officer under Commander Qian. He is still just a sentry officer. Chief Flag Officer.
After Guo Mu went home and asked his grandfather, he also found out that the reason why Luo Zhijie was the first to be promoted but he has not been promoted until now is simply because he, the flag officer of the Yulin Guard, drew his sword the last time when he was ordered to kill Luo Sigong. slow.
Therefore, Guo Mu wanted to stand up and say to His Majesty the Emperor: "I was just frightened at that time. Next time I will be the first to draw my sword! I cannot let you doubt my bravery and loyalty!"
