On the first day of January in the first year of Chongzhen, the news that Zhu Dingguo defeated 100,000 rebels with 5,000 people was rushed to Zhu Youjian after 800 miles.
After getting the news, Zhu Youjian directly issued an order on the grounds of restoring Liao Dynasty and recalled Liaodong Town, Jizhou Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Shanxi Town (Taiyuan Town), Yansui Town (Yulin Town), Guyuan Town Town (Shaanxi Town), Ningxia Town, Gansu Town, and the general soldier of 9 towns.
In addition, the general soldiers, guard commanders and deputy commanders from various places were also summoned back to Beijing.
On the third day of February in the first year of Chongzhen, when the commanders and deputy commanders of Datong and Shanxi No. 2 Towns and Shanxi Guards Station were approaching the capital, they were harassed and attacked by a Jiannu cavalry.
Fortunately, the Beijing camp rescued them in time. Five of the Jiannu cavalry were captured, and the rest fled in all directions.
Immediately, martial law was imposed in the capital, and elite soldiers from all major generals were selected for inspection. At the same time, these general soldiers were strictly ordered not to leave the capital at will.
The ninth day of February in the first year of Chongzhen. The commanders and deputy commanders of all the general soldiers and guard posts finally gathered in the capital.
On the tenth day of the second lunar month of the first year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian led the courtiers, general soldiers, guard commanders and deputy commanders to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices to heaven.
After the sacrifice to heaven was over, Zhu Youjian publicly named Qi Jiguang the Protector of the Country and Xiong Tingbi the Marquis of Liao.
Enter the royal ancestral temple and enjoy the royal incense.
All of a sudden, all the generals, generals, commanders and deputy commanders of the guards were excited.
The Ming Dynasty has been using culture to control military affairs for a long time. Since the civil war, the status of military generals has been declining again and again.
They are also first-grade officials, but military commanders are obviously one level lower than Wen.
Those supervisors did not take the commander-in-chief seriously.
...
Qi Jiguang and Qi Shaobao had outstanding military exploits that were obvious to all, but they did not even have a title. In the final analysis, weren't they just noble men and noble men?
Xiong Tingbi was even worse. He was tricked to death by civil servants.
Now that His Majesty has knighted two people, doesn't it mean that the status of military generals has been improved, so that everyone no longer has to look at the bad faces of those civil servants?
On the contrary, the civil servants felt as if they had eaten flies.
However, those present are all smart people and will not jump out and be the first person on their own.
Although they looked down on these common men, no one really dared to offend the entire military generals of the Ming Dynasty.
"Bring people to commit crimes." Following Zhu Youjian's order, hundreds of people were quickly escorted out from the side.
For a moment, the generals in Liaodong were so shocked that they couldn't say anything.
"Sun Degong, Bao Chengxian,..." Others may not know them, but how could these Liaodong soldiers not know them?
"Your Majesty has an order, please ask the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, Zhao Lianjiao, Man Guan, Zhu Mei, to come up and verify the identity of the traitor general." Wang Chengen shouted from the side.
"Your Majesty, the verification is correct."
"In the Battle of Guangning in the second year of Tianqi, Sun Degong and General Bao Chengxian took the lead in escaping...
Last year, Su Polu recaptured Gaizhou and captured many slaves. In order to exchange for these slaves, the slave chief sent Sun Degong, Bao Chengxian and others to Gaizhou. According to Jinyiwei intelligence, all the men of their relatives were killed by slave chiefs, and all the women were used as military prostitutes...
"
Although a lot of what Wang Chengen said is false, as long as the fact of establishing slaves and replacing people exists, all of this is true.
There is a saying in the information age that if you spread rumors, you will open your mouth, but if you refute them, you will lose your legs.
Why do most people still choose to believe those rumors even after they have been repeatedly refuted by the authorities?
In Zhu Youjian's opinion, the main reason is the first impression.
When people have determined something in their hearts, if they want to change their views, they may need to pay ten times or even a hundred times.
It is an indisputable fact that slaves were brutal and cruel, and it cannot be exaggerated to criticize them.
....
"Traitors are shameless. Your Majesty has decreed that anyone who is a traitor will be slashed with thousands of swords. Their relatives of the Yi tribe will never be allowed to serve as officials.
Sun Degong, Bao Chengxian...the crime was so heinous that after execution, it was reported to nine sides. "
As Wang Chengen finished speaking, these traitors with the most serious diseases were stripped off and accepted the punishment they deserved.
"In the Battle of Liaodong, the performance of the generals and guards made His Majesty and even the entire Ming Dynasty feel ashamed. In order to avoid this situation from happening again, all generals must go to the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy to study in the future... ..."
Zhu Youjian's imperial edict directly imprisoned all the generals present and the chief and deputy commanders of the guards in the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy.
This solved a big trouble for the 9 border officers and troops and the guards at all levels to proactively request rectification.
Yes, I promised not to take the initiative to introduce anti-corrosion into each army, but if millions of officers and soldiers and millions of guards jointly request it, as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I can only reluctantly agree, right?
Moreover, he is the principal of the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy. This gives him an extra level of teacher-disciple relationship with the generals.
Isn’t it right for a master to help his disciples correct their mistakes?
Ming Dynasty's military reform had already begun from the moment Zhu Youjian was forced to surrender. Do you think your work is in vain if you let the supervisory army only take care of logistics?
Although the military pay is still not fully paid, everyone in the supervisory army is familiar to everyone, right?
The military is a group that respects the strong and demands absolute obedience.
Although those biochemical soldiers are not capable of commanding many armies, as long as they carry the banner of His Majesty, the capable ones will be promoted and the mediocre ones will be demoted. Greedy for waste.
Plus smash the money again.
It should not be a problem to ensure that there are no problems with the army.
As for border issues.
Did Zhu Youjian go to great lengths to appoint Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting as governors of Shanxi and Shaanxi respectively?
And the current Ming Dynasty is no longer the glory it once was.
Most of the time it is passive defense.
Relying on the city wall for defense, the nomads were in the cold weapon age, so it was still possible for the biochemical soldiers to guide and defend the city.
What's more, the 100,000 Beijing Camp has almost completed its training. If any foreign enemy dares to show his face, it's time to try it and see if the Lumi gun newly equipped by the Beijing camp is sharp.
At the same time, earth-shaking changes took place in military camps and guards all over the Ming Dynasty.
The old, weak, sick and disabled were kicked out of the army and given proper placement.
Part of the arrears of military pay was repaid, and the military land that had been robbed returned to the hands of the soldiers at the bottom.
Generals who broke the law were arrested.
The able ones were promoted.
Suddenly, Ming Dynasty's army underwent earth-shaking changes, and Zhu Youjian's name reached the ears of every soldier.
The military power of the Ming Dynasty was concentrated in the hands of various biochemical soldiers.
It can be said that Zhu Youjian quietly regained most of the military power in the country.
As long as Zhu Youjian stabilizes Bielang, he will not become the king of subjugation, and the Han people will eventually stand on the top of the world.
