Sun Yijie's approach was expected by Feng Ziying, but he was not very satisfied.
Came a little too late.
This guy is too weak to see the situation clearly, or he still has some intentions of asking for better terms, but this is very unsmart.
But as long as he comes, Feng Ziying is still willing to give him a chance. After all, the other party is the person he wants to win over, and there is no fundamental contradiction with him.
The problem, or task, before Feng Ziying is to solve the problems in Xi'an as soon as possible. The first is the problem of Xi'an Prefecture, and the second is the problem of Xi'an Four Guards.
In more than 20 prefectures and counties in Xi'an, Xu Liangyan is still the leader and the weakest. Even Feng Ziying is still thinking about how to deal with it. Needless to say, the four guards in Xi'an are an important starting point for Feng Ziying to control the military power in Shaanxi, and it is also a delay. No.
"The problem of the Four Guards in Xi'an is known to the whole city, and even the Four Guards themselves are aware of it, but the key is that the old, weak and redundant personnel are easy to hide. How to restore their combat effectiveness is the most important. After Tongguan Guards intervened in the Hedong War, The Four Guards of Xi'an are the most important force in the Guanzhong Plain. I need to transform them within half a year and become a guard that is ready to fight at any time. Even if it cannot compare with the border army, it must at least reach the level of the Tongguan Guard. level."
Feng Ziying paused and looked at Zheng Chongjian and the others, "I plan to leave it to you. The Mountain Crossing Camp, the Assault Camp, and the City Destroying Camp have achieved certain results. Next, let's wait for them to practice in battle. "
The three of them, Zheng Chongjian, were recruited non-stop by Feng Ziying. For the three of them, they learned a lot in the process of reorganizing the Yueshan Camp, the Tufeng Camp and the City Destroying Camp. It was much more difficult and challenging than the reorganization in Minzhuang in Shanxi. Much more sexual.
In the past two months, the three of them have lost a lot of weight, and they are seeing some results. They were recruited to Xi'an by Feng Ziying, and once they were thrown over, there were four guards involving tens of thousands of people.
The Four Guards of Xi'an are the main guard force of the entire Shaanxi Dusi. Except for the guard posts directly under the jurisdiction of the border towns in the three sides and four towns, they basically account for half of the remaining guards.
Guard armies such as the Hanzhong Guard, Ningqiang Guard, Yan'an Guard, Suide Guard, Qingyang Guard, and Qinzhou Guard all have only one battalion, but each of the Xi'an Four Guards can range from two battalions to three battalions to ten. There are more than 30,000 troops in each camp, which is more than the other guard posts combined.
"Ziying, the Yueshan Battalion, the Assault Battalion and the City Destroying Battalion are far from completing their training. It may be okay to fight against ordinary rebels, but to be honest, if the men and horses of Boyan Village and Baitang Village suddenly counterattack, they may not You can win." Zheng Chongjian couldn't help but persuaded: "Now you have changed your mind and want to reorganize the four guards of Xi'an. Let alone half a year, the training may not be successful in one year. Moreover, according to what you said, all the existing personnel of the four guards of Xi'an are down. Tai, we set up a training camp with our bare hands, how can we be so capable?"
For Zheng Chongjian and the others, what they have to do is to organize personnel, materials and managers to make overall arrangements, arrange training plans, promote the implementation of the plans, and strive to achieve training results. However, the actual training still has to be left to the officers and veterans. Frank.
What they have to do is to firmly control the movements of the officers and supervise the implementation of the training. However, Feng Ziying wants the Xi'an Four Guards to start from scratch. This challenge is too great.
Even the over-mountain camp, assault camp and city-destroying camp are at least indispensable in the hands of soldiers, and many of these rebel soldiers are deserters from the three sides and four towns, and many of them have outstanding military abilities. Less, so as long as you sort it out and push it, the effect will be immediate.
But Xi'an's four guards are incomparable.
Xi'an's four guards are comparable to the Beijing camp back then. It can be said that since the Yuanxi period, the Xi'an Four Guards have basically never left the city to fight. According to Xie Xiaye, the Guanzhong Plain itself is the richest area in Shaanxi, and the Xi'an Four Guards exist as the reserve force of the Shaanxi Dusi. These more than ten He hasn't fought in a war for twenty years, and he's basically dying out slowly.
The four guards of Xi'an, from generals, guerrillas to guards, and generals, are basically occupied by the original martial arts disciples. These people are pampered in the city of Xi'an, and their monthly routine training basically counts if they click an egg. He even went through the motions of ordering eggs, letting his servants go with him, and the soldiers below followed suit. Later, they even quit the military privately.
from
From the second year of Yonglong to the present, the Four Guards of Xi'an were supposed to have about 35,000 registered soldiers, but in fact there were only 17,000, that is, more than half of them. They either deregistered directly or were not registered. On duty, on empty pay.
These deregistered people will have to pay a sum of money to deregister. After denaturalization, they will have to settle in various states and counties in Xi'an Prefecture, which will also cost a sum of money.
So from this perspective, Shaanxi Dusi and officials from various states and counties in Xi'an Prefecture took a lot of money.
Even among the remaining more than 10,000 people, most of them are old and weak. They have not practiced training for many years. It is simply a joke to say that they are dragged into the battlefield.
Because of this, Feng Ziying's intention is to either transfer these more than 10,000 people directly to the garrison and drive them to Gongchang Mansion to cultivate wasteland, or to spend money to redeem themselves, buy out their military membership, and transfer to Gongchang Mansion. The Four Guards of Xi'an recruited soldiers from refugees or soldiers who were descended from the rebel army, adopting a recruitment system.
This involves major military reform, which is no small matter, but Feng Ziying still plans to try it. At least under the pressure of the rebellious army, if the reform is carried out at this time, the pressure on the court will not be so great.
"Dazhang, this is also a last resort. Shaanxi is so big. We can't just rely on the three mobile troops of Yueshan Battalion, Tufeng Battalion and City Destroying Battalion. They also shoulder the important task of chasing and suppressing the rebels. The Tongguan Guards were I sent troops to cross the river to the east of Hedong. The situation in Pingyang Prefecture was dangerous. If nothing unexpected happened, I felt that both Pingyang Prefecture and Zezhou were in danger. I had to take precautions and form a guard force that was large enough and strong enough in combat effectiveness as a reserve force. "
"Dazhang, I remember you are from Ningxiang. Hejin, Jishan and Jiangzhou have all fallen into the hands of the rebel army. They are only one step away from your hometown. The rebel army is now focused on Linfen. If they notice When they arrive at Linfen, there may be Shanxi border troops heading south, and they may turn around and attack Ningxiang and Jizhou, aren't you worried?"
Zheng Chongjian's expression changed slightly,
"Ziying, don't joke."
"Dazhang, do you think I'm kidding? Linfen is so easy to fight? The rebel army is not stupid. If they realize that Linfen is difficult to fight, they will definitely turn around. The rebel army on the southern front was disrupted by us. Si Yancheng was defeated, and they lost their spirit. The rebel army on the front line is in great momentum, and Linfen is difficult to fight, but they still have to have a target. Xiangning, Jizhou, Quwo and Yicheng, I am afraid they will all be their targets."
Zheng Chongjian actually knew that what Feng Ziying said was true, he just subconsciously didn't want to accept this cruel truth.
"The hometowns of Boya and Yu Tuan are both in northern Shanxi, but your hometown, Dazhang, is in southern Shanxi. Moreover, Qiao Youdu is a censor, and Sun and Han are all in southern Shanxi. If southern Shanxi falls, I'm afraid they will It’s a little hard to accept.”
Seeing that the three of them were silent, Feng Ziying said again: "To be honest, I am confident that the situation in Shaanxi will be calmed down, but it is difficult to guarantee that the situation in southern Shanxi will worsen and spread. Shanxi Town is too weak, and the Shanxi Dusi Guards The army is also not very weak. Seeing that there is only one battalion of guards left in Puzhou, which is completely unable to deal with it, we know that by then, no matter whether the rebel army in southern Shanxi will come back to Shaanxi, or it will continue to spread eastward and southward. , when the imperial court cannot spare any resources, will we, Shaanxi, be asked to support Shanxi?"
The three of them were all a little shocked. After a while, Sun Chuanting hesitated and said: "The Shaanxi Guards entering Jin? Ziying, it is impossible for the Tongguan Guards to enter the Jin Dynasty. The Guards can only stay in the local area. This is a custom made by the imperial court. You can use it temporarily. It's okay for a while, but if the guards are used to enter Shanxi without any hindrance, it will destroy the ancestral system and will not be allowed."
"Then we can just sit back and watch when Shanxi falls?" Feng Ziying shook her head, "If that's not possible, then the Xi'an Four Guards vehicles can enter Guyuan Town and let Guyuan Town send troops to Shanxi. Is that okay?"
Feng Ziying's unbridled ideas made them a little out of tune. Neither Zheng Chongjian nor the other three expected that Feng Ziying would not take the court's custom-made rules to heart, disrupt and change them at will without any restraint, and not worry about what the court would do. Attitude, even if you are the governor of Shaanxi, you should not be so careless.
"Even if it is possible, the personnel can be solved in this way, but if the food, weapons, armor and stomach are not satisfied, the court is afraid that it will be difficult to satisfy." Chen Qiyu also felt that it was too difficult.
"Let me think of a solution for food and weapons. Xi'an's Four Guards' establishment of more than 30,000 people has been so dilapidated by them. Isn't it possible?"
Is anyone responsible for this? "
Feng Ziying smiled lightly and said: "The Procuratorate has no idle life. They have a lot of evidence pointing to the fact that more than 10,000 people have resigned from the country and been idle for more than ten years. I don’t believe every explanation they gave me about this. As long as there is evidence and explanation, it’s just right. It’s natural to retreat, and there should be punishment, right? In addition, the guards themselves also have food slips, but they are lower than those of the border troops. Just a little bit is better than nothing at all.”
Feng Ziying has thought about this issue many times. Haitong Yinzhuang and Shanxi Merchants must join in, otherwise he will not be able to achieve his goal in such a short period of time.
Seeing Feng Ziying's resolute attitude, for these three Shanxi people, if the Shaanxi Guards or Guyuan Town can be used to quell chaos in Shanxi, of course they want it, so it is natural for them to make some contributions.
"Ziying, since you have made up your mind, of course we are willing."
Zheng Chongjian finally expressed his position on behalf of the three people, "It's just that half a year is too short, and you can't get all the manpower and supplies together in a short while."
"This is my business." Feng Ziying said firmly, "You just have to do your own thing."
