The most important thing is that Henan Road is located in Gyeonggi Province. Although the princes cannot yet get involved in the military attaché system here. But any civil servant who can come here to work in these three departments does not have a strong backing behind him? What's more, the Henan Road Jiedu Envoy seems to have a high position of authority, but compared with the Xiaoqi Camp Commander, he is restricted in every way.
In addition to the Privy Council and the Ministry of War in central Beijing, the Henan Road pacifier, the Henan Road supervisory censor, and even the four Henan Road military preparation roads also had the power to restrict the Jiedushi. Being a military governor is not as good as Xiaoqiying. There are only too many mother-in-laws on your head. When he was in the Xiaoqi camp, he only had to be responsible to the Palace Secretary and the Privy Council.
Although the Ministry of War also has the power to restrict the Qiaoqi battalion, after all, its influence is limited to the selection of military attaches and the allocation of salaries. But Jiedushi had six or seven mothers-in-law on his head. In addition, there are four flies, always looking for trouble. Bing Bei said where to find trouble. The local guard system, unlike the four major battalions and the frontier army, was too deeply involved with civilian officials.
What's more, the local guards are really too much for this grown-up to hold up. Far away, I won’t talk about his experience of working hard and working hard when he served as the military commander of Fengxiang Mansion. Recently, as the main force of the rebels in Zhengzhou Prefecture, the performance of these three thousand fully armed and fully trained guards in the Battle of Hulao Pass was not as good as those temporarily captured farmers.
You can see the whole picture at a glance. The guards who are responsible for protecting the prince all look like this. What the guards in the other prefectures are like, I'm afraid they don't need many. The current gentleman is extremely disappointed with these guards. This second-grade military commander is really not as good as him being a third-grade commander in the Xiaoqi camp.
Looking at the magnanimous gaze of the King of England in front of him, the Lord could only smile bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I don't mean to shirk the general. In addition to being reluctant to leave the Xiaoqi camp, it is really difficult to be the governor of Henan Road. The last general would really rather be transferred at the same level and be the border army defense ambassador than be the Henan Road military envoy."
Speaking of this, the Lord also looked at Huang Qiong frankly and said: "To be honest, General Mo is really reluctant to leave the Xiaoqi Camp. When General Mo was transferred back to the Xiaoqi Camp from the border army, the Xiaoqi Camp had to be separated from the previous commander because of the commander-in-chief. The deputy envoys, commanders, and commanders collaborated with a few people to embezzle money, steal military rations, and use nepotism. At least 30% of the rice that the officers received every month was mixed with sand and soil."
"On the days when I got the most money, I only received 70%. In the end, it even got to the point where the men were working hard at the front, while the deputy envoy in the back was messing with his family members. These bastards made the soldiers of the Xiaoqi battalion alienated, and they drove me to pieces. All these elite troops are in a mess. Not to mention being sent out to fight in the field, they can't even carry out daily training."
"Although the emperor took off the heads of those bastards in anger, the Xiaoqi Camp has also reached a point where it must be reorganized. After the general was transferred to the commander of the Xiaoqi Camp, he spent a lot of effort to reorganize the Xiaoqi Camp. New, the combat effectiveness has been restored. At present, the reorganization of the Xiaoqi Battalion has begun to bear fruit, but the last general has been transferred. To be honest, the last general is really unwilling."
"And the Jiedu Envoy on Henan Road, alas. Your Majesty, except for the guards in this place, most of them have reached the point of decay. Things in this place are so complicated that they are even more troublesome. That mansion's There are people behind the military and horse envoys, the military preparation envoys, and even the regimental training envoys and deputy envoys of the state. The children of aristocratic families account for the majority."
"You can't replace these people. They let go of their lives in the capital and work as military envoys. In addition to enduring qualifications, the only thing left is to make money. If you replace them, Let’s not talk about whether it can pass at the Ministry of War. Even if it passes, the offended person will also go to sea."
"But if we don't replace them, there will be a raging army, a raging group of generals, and rectification is just empty talk. But if we don't rectify it, Your Majesty, Henan Road is located in an important place in the capital. If you fart here, you can hear it clearly in the other side of the capital. Once something big happens, it might not be a big deal on other roads, but when it comes to Henan Road, it becomes a big deal."
"Seven years ago, a group of thieves from Shandong opened up a county town, and the three divisions of Henan Road picked up the seals together. Here, you can be an official, especially a military attaché. If you make the slightest mistake, you will be caught by others. For a handle, beheading may not be possible, but dismissal from office and exile is the lightest option."
After hearing what the Lord said, Huang Qiong stood up in the study, paced repeatedly for a long time, then raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, a wise man doesn't speak secretly. I'll let you go to Henan Road to be the governor." , it was suggested by me and my father. I value your ability in military training very much."
"I also know that not only the local guards along the Henan Road, but also the local guards on all roads are now in a state of decay. But have you ever thought about it, my lord, why the king of Guilin decided on this military system at the beginning of the founding of the country? If everything happens If we all rely on the Four Camps or the Xijing Camp to solve the problem, what is the use of the imperial court supporting such a large number of guards?"
"The intention of the King of Guilin at that time was not only to use the four camps and the Xijing camp as the head, the border troops as the backbone, and the local guards as the limbs. These three links are interlocked and indispensable. Compared with the The four major battalions, the Xijing camp, and the guards on all roads, which focus on mobile warfare, are the main force used by the imperial court for internal suppression and counterinsurgency."
"If everything requires the deployment of the Four Battalions and the Xijing Battalion, the Four Battalions and the Xijing Battalion will completely violate the original intention of its creation. Once we really encounter a big war, we will not be dragged to death by running for our lives. It can only be divided and used. That is truly putting the cart before the horse."
"At present, the local guards are so corrupt that they have almost become a place for the children of aristocratic families to make money and gild. If there is any trouble in the local area, they will have no power to fight. When something happens, the court can only dispatch four major battalions. To be honest, Yes, this rebellion does not need to dispatch elites like the Xiaoqi Battalion. The original local guards on Henan Road can completely solve it."
"But it was because the Henan Guards were not available enough that the imperial court had no choice but to dispatch the Xiaoqi Battalion. Fortunately, the area affected by the rebellion was limited, and the rebels did not form mobile operations. Otherwise, as time goes by, the Xiaoqi Battalion will become an elite force. , but it will be dragged down. In the final analysis, whether the combat effectiveness of the Guards can be improved is crucial to our Daqi."
"That's why I made a special request to transfer you to be the governor of Henan Road. Your Excellency, don't have any scruples. Just do whatever you need to do. You can directly decide which officials need to be replaced." Come up with a charter. The priority is to rebuild the Henan Road Guards in the shortest possible time."
Speaking of this, Huang Qiong glanced at Mr. Yu who was deep in thought after he finished speaking. His eyes narrowed slightly, and then he revealed all his energy and said very domineeringly: "I have only one request for you, and that is that after taking office Just go ahead and do it. Everything will be done with the support of this king. The guards of the various prefectures will be eliminated when they need to be eliminated, and the generals will be replaced when they need to be replaced."
"Henan Road is located in an important area of Gyeonggi Province. It is absolutely impossible to rely on the four major battalions alone. I cannot control other roads, but the guards on Henan Road continue to rot, and I cannot accept it no matter what. Let these people reach the level of Xiaoqi Camp I don’t dare to expect the level of elites. But you must have the ability to fight, and you can’t just continue to be bad. Master Yu, please.”
Hearing Huang Qiong's rather domineering words, Mr. Yu didn't say anything and just nodded silently. After the conversation, Huang Qiong did not let the master return to Xiaoqi camp immediately, but left him to have dinner with him. But during the meal, this gentleman was obviously a little distracted.
In addition to being thoughtful, his eyes were always focused on Liu Hu's sister-in-law, who was transferred by Huang Qiong. Huang Qiong smiled faintly when she saw that although this guy was hiding well, he never took his eyes off Liu Hu's sister-in-law's back. Liu Hu's sister-in-law, although her appearance is not that stunning, she is still extremely beautiful, and the more she looks at her, the more attractive she becomes.
Although she is over thirty years old, her mature charm is far beyond what those little girls can compare to. In addition, he is smart and smart, so for an old widower like you, he is not ordinary lethal. Although this gentleman is currently in a high position, he is only in his early forties.
Although he has been fighting in the north and south these years, his age is still there after all. It turns out that she was afraid that her children would be wronged, so she never remarried. Now that the children have grown up, once some thoughts are opened, it is difficult to restrain them. Among men in this era, as long as they have some status and power, how many of them only have one wife?
Just before he left the capital, didn't the Minister of the Ministry of War, who was over sixty years old, take a concubine who was only seventeen years old? This guy has been holding on for so many years. Huang Qiong doesn't believe that he can really restrain himself? However, Huang Qiong had no intention of letting him get his wish immediately. When it was time to seduce this guy's appetite, Huang Qiong would not hesitate at all.
This is because the adults are too cautious. If they take the initiative, I'm afraid it will be a rush rather than a business. After dinner, Huang Qiong, who tried his best to whet his appetite, did not stay with this adult. Knowing that this was the King of England, who was playing a trick of playing hard to get, the Lord could only take three steps and look back reluctantly to leave.
The operation to arrest the Henan Road officials went smoothly. Some of the methods discussed by Huang Qiong and the commander in the capital were not used. The completely unprepared Henan Road official had just arrived at the Zhengzhou Magistrate's Yamen, but his butt had not yet settled down. The guards they led were easily disarmed by the soldiers of the Knight Cavalry Battalion. Even Jin Jiedu's personal soldier did not offer any resistance.
The soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion who rushed into the main hall of Zhengzhou Mansion followed the roll call of a fifth-grade military attaché and removed their official hats and uniforms one by one from the officials named by Huang Qiong. Almost none of these officials who didn't know what they had done didn't cry out for injustice. Other officials were afraid that they would be arrested next, so they also complained for their colleagues.
However, when Huang Qiong appeared in front of them, wearing the royal uniform for the first time since making it, the arrested officials knew that the person in front of them should be the Queen of England, who had the power to know how to handle Zhengzhou. The cry of injustice became even louder. There were also a lot of insults to the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Camp.
Huang Qiong did not directly read out the secret edict, but quietly watched the farce in front of him. It wasn't until these people calmed down a little that he took out the imperial edict and read it out. However, after listening to the contents of the imperial edict, these officials, while their faces were a little pale, were still unwilling to complain.
Putting down the imperial edict in his hand, he looked at the officials in front of him who were complaining, and then said calmly: "Whether you are wronged or not is not decided by me. My father knows it, and you know it yourself. Let's not talk about anything else. Since Jin Jiedu's rebel troops marched to Hulao Pass, the imperial court and this king have never seen a single soldier under your command, Jin Jiedu? Don't tell me, your guards are all involved."
