The total strength of the three major battalions is much greater than that of the Yongwei Battalion. If they are properly trained and trained, they may be able to compete with the Yongwei Battalion. However, this is also the most optimistic estimate. Because the roots are already rotten, Yaoji will not embrace it. What a hope, let’s treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor...
Yaoji gestured with satisfaction to him, and then continued to give instructions: "There are many hereditary children in the capital camp, and they have lived in Jifu for a long time. It is inevitable that they will be contaminated by bad habits. I will give you the Shangfang Sword. If you disobey the military order, all the people in the camp will be excepted by you." Everyone except the supervisors can kill first and then report!"
We can't kill the supervisors as well, that would be a slap in the face by Chi Guoguo. The supervisors are the emperor's domestic slaves, and even the daring Governor Yuan doesn't dare to do anything to them. Allowing you to cut down the disobedient dog is the greatest authority.
"Yuan Bin is well versed in military affairs and is a rare talent in the inner court. He has cooperated with Sun Aiqing for many years and has done things safely. I firmly believe that, so I intend to send you to the Beijing camp to supervise the army. Do you dare?"
Lu Jiude can continue to work in the Yongwei camp and play with Huang Degong. Liu Yuanbin, who is on equal footing with him, has a new job and can also flex his muscles. Maybe he can really "flex his muscles."
Liu Yuanbin, who was appreciated by His Highness the Crown Prince, hurriedly knelt on the ground and said with utmost sincerity: "I have received the divine grace, and no one dares to disobey. I will die and sacrifice my life to repay the Lord!"
If he didn't speak generously at this time, he would be a complete fool. Without Lu Jiude fighting for power, Liu Yuanbin thought that he could take charge of his own affairs, and he would be able to claim credit and reward in front of the prince in the future.
Seeing that everyone was very interested, Yaoji also revealed the truth about the few losers in front of him: "Tomorrow, I will mention this matter to the cabinet and the six ministries at the court meeting. There may be a war of words at that time, but It is the general trend to rectify the capital camp, and any objections from the idle people are just a mantis trying to block the trend!"
You can object, but the minimum purchase is 10,000 taels. You can do whatever you want. Rich people can speak up, and the more they spray, the better!
Although he was poached, Huang Degong was still very happy. If the reorganization of the Jingying camp was completed, it would be possible to avoid the situation where the Yongwei camp was unable to support itself: "Your Highness is wise, if the Jingying camp can be reorganized, Jiannu will not dare to underestimate the capital. No worries!"
It is unrealistic to expect the Beijing camp in version 2.0 to take the initiative to attack the pigtails, but it is probably not a big problem to defend the city. The capital city is high and deep, with many artillery. As long as there is no surrender, Huang Taiji wants to conquer this place. No matter what, we have to put in five or six flags of braided soldiers.
As long as you are willing to play with me, I will be willing to do it!
Yaoji versus Huangtaiji...
It seems like this is an arduous battle between rookies!
It will surely shock the past and the present & go down in history~!
Heroes throughout the ages, such as "Magister" Liu Xiu, "Stinky Salted Fish" Shi Le, "Axe Gang Leader" Zhao Guangyi, and "Beggar President" Zhu Yuanzhang are all famous in the world.
When the Royal Chicken dies due to excessive bleeding, it's time for Dorgon, the "cake-eating Tatar", to come on stage.
The Tatar effortlessly swallowed up Huang Taiji's territory, troops, wives, and children.
After defeating "Brother Li" in the First World War, he was able to easily enter the Pass. He used subordinates such as Wu Sangui, Li Chengdong, and Xu Dingguo to swallow the cake in the Pass.
It plays so smoothly, whether it is 666 or 233, it is not enough to describe this comfortable and fast pushing scene!
When Cao Cao and Fu Jian met, they felt that they were born in the wrong era. Even thinking about it made them envious and jealous!
It can be seen that a big mouth, good teeth, and a strong life are more important than anything else!
If we really compare, Sima Yi of the previous dynasty is not as good as Dorgon of today!
I still dripped it on his cake, I have to find a way, otherwise it will be eaten...
Yaoji simply ignored this flattery. As long as Huangtaiji comes to collect protection fees again, the capital will be in danger: "As the old saying goes - if you don't have long-term worries, you must have immediate worries. I intend to form the East Palace Guards. The initial total strength is at Five thousand, including one thousand infantry, one thousand artillery, one thousand cavalry, and two thousand auxiliary servants. I wonder if Zhou Aiqing is willing to take on this important task?"
Originally, Yaoji planned to expand the Yongwei Battalion, but considering that the Beijing Battalion costs a million taels per year, it is still unknown to what extent it can be reorganized by Sun Yingyuan. If Huang Degong is allowed to recruit more troops, just these two troops will Military expenditures cost more than two million taels a year.
After he had worked hard and worked hard, the dumper suddenly woke up. Didn't he even catch an edamame?
It's not cost-effective to do this at all, so it's better to start from scratch and build your own security team as soon as possible.
The East Palace Guards are the prince's private armed organization. I can do whatever I want, and the Ministry of War stares at me, unable to do anything.
Zhou Yuji realized that the prince was trying to win over him. He was excited, but after a moment's hesitation, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "Thanks to your highness for your love, I will go and fight to the death for your highness!"
The chief officer of the Yongwei camp was Huang Degong, and his equals with Zhou Yuji were Sun Yingyuan, not to mention that Lu Jiude and Liu Yuanbin were the emperor's spies stationed in the camp.
During the war, there were only 3,000 people under his direct control, and they had to be reported to Huang Degong and the two supervisors for review in advance. How could this be as comfortable as directly joining the prince's camp?
The prince was only ten years old, and the East Palace team had just been formed. It was the time to recruit people, and the generals under his command were very rare. Anyway, Zhou Yuji had never heard anyone mention this matter. If he surrendered now, he would definitely be reused.
Such a God-given opportunity, if you hesitate again and again, once you miss it, you will definitely regret it afterwards, and it will also cause the prince's dissatisfaction. A real man should keep breaking up, but he will be disturbed by it, so Zhou Yuji agreed without much thinking.
Yaoji had done some mental calculations before. If there were 5,000 people and an average of 50 taels per person per year, the total would be 250,000 taels. Even if he rounded it up, he could still afford 300,000 taels a year. It was considered a risky investment.
If you continue to spend a lot of money on the Jingying camp that dumps the blame, it is really not as cost-effective as raising some security guards to look after your home. At least it is a good dog that knows how to protect its owner!
While Yaoji was happy, he did not forget to give a few words of advice: "Anyone who lives in the guard house or is a poor laborer can be considered for recruitment. Only veterans from other camps and weak scholars must be cautious. The former are cunning and greasy, while the latter cannot bear hardships." , are not suitable for the East Palace Guards. People in these two categories, unless they are talented, will not be hired easily!"
The East Palace Guards are essentially the new army, but the training of the new army must be affiliated to the Ministry of War. How can they let those losers take advantage of them? The meat must rot in their own pot!
When necessary, put the meat in and throw the pot out!
Friendly reminder: Our independently developed blame-shifting technology is unique in the world...
"Your Highness's instructions will be kept in mind and never be forgotten!"
Zhou Yuji did not expect that the prince was very young, but he was very understanding of people and the world, and he was also involved in military affairs. His analysis was very clear. If there was no expert behind the scenes to give him some advice, he would be a dragon among men, with extraordinary wisdom. Just a few words made him look at him with admiration, which was absolutely incomparable to other people, and it was even more difficult to fool him.
The people in the guard house are descendants of military families, so there is no need to worry about military literacy. After layers of screening, qualified people will be suitable to become military officers at all levels. Poor laborers have always worked hard without complaint. If they work hard and are rigorously trained, they can order and prohibit them and become soldiers. What the prince said was true. If Zhou Yuji had not mentioned it in advance and Zhou Yuji had recruited him on his own, it would have been like this.
Zhou Yuji had seen too many of those treacherous, lazy and greedy officials' children, and he showed contempt for people of middle and lower backgrounds. Since it is the East Palace Guards, everything must start from scratch, and people who are just waiting to die must not be recruited into it. Now that he has gained the trust of the prince, he also intends to show off his skills and take the opportunity to show off his talent in running an army.
Of course, here in Yaoji, there are certain types of people who can be admitted under special conditions, and the monthly salary is not low, starting with at least five taels of silver...
Regarding the Yongwei Battalion commanded by Huang Degong, Yaoji asked them to train quickly and not slack off, because whether they were going north to fight against the Qing Dynasty or going south to fight against the bandits, they needed to maintain a high combat effectiveness. We must not hear that the blame-shifting father is immortal. , and took the opportunity to be lazy.
Sun Yingyuan was transferred to the Beijing Camp. His first task was to rectify military discipline and crack down on the officials' children who usually eat, drink, gamble and line their own pockets. Once everything is sorted out, he would then find ways to improve the combat effectiveness of the Beijing Camp, otherwise no one would listen to your farts below.
Zhou Yuji, who was appointed as the commander of the East Palace Guards, had to recruit troops first, and everything had to start from scratch. The prince made it very clear that he did not trust those cunning veterans at all. Except for some mid-level and senior officers who could poach them, all the other soldiers had to be recruited.
This can be regarded as a personnel adjustment at the command and general level, which will have a great impact on the defense capabilities of the Jifu area. When the three good generals heard the prince's arrangement, they were thinking about the future, especially the three chamberlains who were listening next to them.
"One more thing, I would like to remind you that from now on, the main responsibilities of the military supervisors, whether they are the Yongwei Camp or the Beijing Camp, are food and salary supply, statistics of battle results, supervision and reporting, etc. Unless requested by the commander-in-chief, they are not allowed to interfere with the operations commanded by their headquarters. Anyone who violates the order will be severely punished!"
The Yongwei Battalion is one of the five main forces of the empire. It must not be annihilated because of the blind command of the supervisory army. The troops with an annual salary of five hundred thousand taels were annihilated by the enemy. Just thinking about it will make you feel distressed.
Although the Beijing camp is in a mess now, it will not stay like this forever. When Sun Yingyuan is rectified, he will still be a good cannon fodder and can be used as bait!
Of course, Lu Jiude and Liu Yuanbin knew a little bit about leading troops in war, and they didn't know how to take the pure 250 that Na Ka asked for. They were not even a bit better than Yan Siyin.
Yaoji had his own strategic considerations in making these appointments, and his fundamental purpose was to quickly restore and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops in the Jifu area.
The Jifu area cannot always count on border generals like Sun Chuanting to bring their troops to serve the king. The guest soldiers will have to go back sooner or later, especially field troops like Qin Bing. They cannot always be stationed in the Jifu area. That is a stupid order that wastes a lot of money. Well, if you want the capital to sit back and relax, you have to use local cannon fodder.
