Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1151 Qi Shaobao is going to Beijing

In the city of Daning where the sun is shining brightly, merchants coming and going are not uncommon. There are Han merchants who come to the north entrance, and there are also Mongolians who come here to trade with Han merchants.On both sides, you can speak a few words of Mongolian, and I can speak a few words of Chinese, and a market has spontaneously formed in the west of Daning City, leading to the current situation.

The name of the Yamen of the General Army of Ji Town has not been changed, but the garrison has been moved here, which is located in the north-east of the city.

The atmosphere of Zongbing Yamen is completely different from the hustle and bustle of the West Market. This place has always been the quietest place in the city.The majestic and motionless guards of the Qi family army at the entrance of the yamen and the patrolling soldiers passing by from time to time added a bit of dignified murderous aura to this solemnity.

Chill.

Near the Zongbing Yamen, the most suitable adjective is chill.

But in fact, in the Zongbing Yamen, this kind of chilling feeling is much lighter, just like Qi Jiguang who is half lying on the yellow bamboo recliner at this time, even a little leisurely.

It's just that although Qi Jiguang seems to be resting with his eyes closed, his fingers on his left hand have been tapping the armrest of the recliner briskly, which shows that his mood is not as relaxed as his image.And the letterhead in his right hand is what caused him to think hard today.

"Marshal?" A tall and handsome young general called out in a low voice.

Qi Jiguang didn't open his eyes, but just closed them and let out a "huh".

"Are you really going to the capital?"

"Ah."

"Can't you go?"

"Ah."

"Why? Don't you know about places like the capital? If we go there, we might be run over by others!"

Qi Jiguang still didn't open his eyes, and asked lightly: "Who is running on us?"

"Those lords and lords!" The young general said eagerly, "What are their identities? Hereditary, they live together with the country. They have controlled the Beijing camp for generations, and now they have been robbed of their jobs by the commander. Handsome as a thorn in the side? When the time comes..."

"How about it then?" Qi Jiguang sighed and waved his hands: "This matter has nothing to do with Qi, whether it is the Duke of the State or the Lord Hou, even if there is any dissatisfaction, it is to go to Gao Gong What's the use of asking for me?

I am a military official who acts according to the order, so what if I am squeezed to death by them, if I die, no one else can be the commander of the Imperial Guard?Just a joke, Gao Gongbao has plenty of people available under his command, do you think I, Qi Jiguang, can do this as the commander of the imperial guards? "

"Why do you want to belittle yourself, commander?" The young general refused to accept it: "If you said that a few years ago, there is some truth in it. Gao Gongbao still has two old commanders, Ma and Liu, at his disposal, but now he does not need you as a commander. Who else can I use? Ma Dong, Ma Gui, or Liu Ting? Although these three seem to be okay, but in terms of reputation and prestige, who looks like someone who can hold down a [-]-strong army?"

"Oh, it's okay?" Qi Jiguang finally opened his eyes, and squinted at the young man: "Compared with these three, is your record comparable to those of these three?"

The young man's face turned red immediately, but he refused to accept it, and stiffened his neck and said: "Nephew does not have that kind of opportunity. If you change my nephew to the position of the three of them at that time, although my nephew dare not say that he can do better than them, But I am also confident that at least I will not do worse than them!"

It turned out that this young man was still Qi Jiguang's nephew.

"Qi Jin, do you regret being with Uncle Wei all the time?" Qi Jiguang didn't comment on his words, but asked, "If you want to go to a place where it is easier to make contributions, it's not impossible for Uncle Wei to put up with this old face." Go ask Gao Gongbao for a recommendation, recommend you to Liaodong."

Qi Jin was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head and said, "Wouldn't it be wrong to go to Liaodong and hang out with Li Chengliang? No! My nephew and Li Chengliang can't urinate in the same pot."

Qi Jiguang didn't seem to hear Qi Jin calling Li Chengliang's name directly, but said indifferently: "You can also go to Liaoyang to meet Cao Xierong instead of Ning Yuanbo."

Qi Jin frowned and said: "Cao Xierong? He doesn't have a bad reputation, but now that Gao Gongbao has returned to Beijing, Cao Xierong's life in Liaodong may not be easy..."

Qi Jiguang glanced at him: "Are you afraid that he won't be able to beat Uncle Ning Yuan, and that he will implicate you then?"

"That's not true, it's just that my nephew is afraid that he will be crushed by Uncle Ning Yuan, maybe my nephew won't get the chance to fight." Qi Jin said with a wry smile.

Qi Jiguang said: "Then you should go to his place."

"Why?" Qi Jin was taken aback.

"Qi Jin, although generals can't help themselves most of the time, once you reach a certain level and position, you can't ignore caring about the government because of this." Qi Jiguang sighed: "Uncle, I will give you the last advice: behind your back It's me, behind me is Gao Gongbao."

Qi Jin gave an "oh" half-comprehending, scratched his head, and fell into thinking.

Qi Jiguang didn't bother to wait for him to think anymore, and said, "I'll let you take away a few of the Qi family's army. As for the soldiers...you take three thousand out of 4000."

Qi Jin was taken aback: "Then what do you do? Don't you want to be the commander of the Imperial Guard without your own soldiers?"

"Didn't I bring a thousand more? Why don't you want the soldiers." Qi Jiguang waved his hand and said, "Do you think the Imperial Guards are just like other families, and I can play with them at will? These 1000 people were brought over, and they were said to be soldiers. They are really just personal soldiers, and even their identities cannot be mixed with the imperial guards."

Qi Jin said in amazement: "Then what about their military pay? Isn't it calculated according to the Beijing camp?"

"Tch, you have a good idea." Qi Jiguang shook his head and said, "He is still a Zhejiang soldier, and he is regarded as his uncle's follower."

When Qi Jin heard this, he suddenly became worried: "Then I still have to pay back? My nephew thought that when he arrived in the capital, at least he didn't have to put the money into it himself. I said Marshal, this is the Imperial Guard... Is there any income? Huh? If there is no income, this subsidy is not a long-term solution."

This is a practical problem, Qi Jiguang hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said: "I don't know yet, but I think Gao Gongbao should take this into consideration as a person."

Qi Jin opened his mouth, and finally he could only sigh and said, "I hope so."

Qi Jiguang nodded, and couldn't help telling his nephew again, saying: "Three thousand Qi's family army is all the capital that Uncle can give you. When the time comes, you must be careful and bold in Liaodong. Be cautious when you should be cautious." , don’t just wantonly fight because you have elite soldiers at hand, and don’t be afraid of the enemy and avoid war because of fear of loss. You must have your own considerations, understand?”

"Yes, nephew understands."

Qi Jiguang nodded: "Go, go and tell your uncles separately. After all the notifications are received, I will announce this matter when I get promoted again."

"Yes, that nephew has gone, uncle has a good rest."

The Jingying used to have a school ground inside and outside the capital city, but after Gao Yushi reorganized the Imperial Guards this time, he abandoned these two school grounds that were "full of rotting corpses" in his eyes, and set them up in the north of the city. A new large school field was established, and all future Imperial Guards will be stationed and drilled here.

Gao Yushi didn't ask for the current name of this place, but he knew that in later generations this place would be almost the range from the National Stadium to the Olympic Park.But there is no Olympian at this time, because Olympian was excavated manually later.

Right now, this is only a relatively flat area, and there are not many fields, which have been bought by the Ministry of War, not to mention the remaining wasteland, which is directly requisitioned.

Today, Gao Wushi is bringing a large group of people here to inspect, to determine the various construction plans of the Imperial Guards camp - the camp is not something that can be used just by enclosing the land, the house needs to be built, the water source needs to be Guaranteed, roads have to be built, food and grass have to be stored... In short, there are a lot of shit.

Accompanying Gao Yushi today, apart from several Langzhong, Yuanwailang, and principals from the Ministry of War, there are also a lot of nobles and officials from the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies—although these people are actually going to fight with the ban soon. The guards are actually "decoupled", but after all, the imperial guards belong to the Beijing camp, and the Beijing camp is still under their control, so they still have to come and put onions in the noses of pigs for the time being, pretending to be elephants.

Of course, it’s not all soy sauce, because high pragmatism still requires them to spend a lot of money: the Imperial Guards belonging to the Beijing Camp built a large camp, and your five-army governor’s office can’t just wait for the Ministry of War to pay. "Can't you come up with a part?

But this cost, starting from Zhu Yingzhen, is basically recognized by everyone-this is like a one-time buyout, since then they will not be responsible for the messy things in the war, which is more expensive than the previous three camps. neatly.

[Note: The Beijing camp system in the Ming Dynasty was very complicated. Although it was said that it was all about the "three major camps", in fact, many things were recorded in confusion and incomplete, such as how the three major camps were usually connected with the guards, and the three major camps. Where the battalions are stationed, or are they stationed in a centralized manner, etc., I have checked the "Da Ming Hui Dian" and I still can't figure it out.

Some monographs and academic papers have mentioned scattered ones, but I found that their opinions are often different, so this issue can only be said to be unresolved.This book does not explain the original Beijing camp's garrison, contact with the guards, etc., and starts directly from the establishment of the big camp by the imperial guards.Hope everyone knows. ]
Regarding the place chosen by Gao Yushi, Zhu Yingzhen and the others have nothing to say at all, and it is entirely because of "etiquette" that they follow today, just like everyone knows that it is useless to hold some etiquette activities on behalf of the emperor, but as long as the emperor orders you name, then you must go.Not only do you have to go, but you also have to look honored.

Without him, honorable ones will only have this effect now.So no matter how boring the job is, you have to do it. It's better than leading troops to fight, at least you won't die, right?

Watching Gao Wushi and a group of officials from the Ministry of War analyze that there is a water source here, a road can be built there, the terrain here is flat and suitable for a school field, there is a circle of hills over there that can be set up as a defense line, etc., Zhu Yingzhen and the others are sleepy. up.

The saddest thing is that Gao Pragmatic still attaches great importance to them. Every time a question is mentioned, they must be consulted for their opinions. This is really fatal-how do we understand these things? Which worm to choose has the greatest chance of winning in a battle of promotion and organization.

It took more than two hours before and after, and basically the main facility planning was delineated, and everyone went directly to the nearby camping - the "cooking class" was ready-made, because this place is not far from Jianxinzhai, and the guards of Gao Jiajia Ding Someone has been sent over to cook.

Gao Wushi didn't eat with the subordinates of the Ministry of War, but with the nobles. Of course, the main reason was that he needed to discuss something.

"Masters of the state, have you settled on the regulations regarding the recruitment? I have already mentioned the matter of money to Mr. Zhang and Mr. Shen yesterday, and they have already agreed in principle, with an initial allocation of 5 yuan. Two silvers, and there will be about [-] to [-] in the follow-up."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Zhu Yingzhen began to complain, and took Gao Yushi's hand and said: "Seeking the truth, this matter is at the right time... Tell me, can you leave this matter to someone else?"

Gao Wushi looked very surprised, and said in astonishment: "Leave it to someone else? Why, this matter is under the control of your Five Armies Commander's Mansion."

Zhu Yingzhen smiled wryly and said: "Don't you know what's going on in the Dudu's Mansion of the Five Armies? Let's be honest, we Ming people don't speak in secret, the military registration at the Dudu's Mansion is just a decoration, and the names in it are not the same as the heads in the guards. number one."

The British Duke Zhang Yuangong also quickly interrupted: "Yes, yes, to be honest, I don't think this matter is suitable for our five-army governor's mansion—you see, this time it is not recruiting people from military households, is it? You are not allowed to find Those young knight-errants in the capital, but these refugees... are not easy to recruit. Usually, I hear that there are refugees here, and then I hear that there are refugees there. But these fucking refugees usually don’t come to the capital. There is really no place to recruit people right now..."

Gao Wushi frowned and said, "Can't we send people to go a little farther? Shuntian Mansion doesn't have it here, what about Baoding, Hejian, and Zhending? Especially Bazhou, there are endless thieves there, and some of them can be recruited." It's good too."

"Baoding is fine, but who wants to go to that ghostly place in Bazhou, so you dare to run there under the banner of your Jinghua... Before Lubei became yellow, Bazhou was also affected. I heard that it is very chaotic now, and no one in the Beijing camp is willing to go there to recruit people."

His meow is so yellow in Lubei, Bazhou has been affected?Do you think I'm geographically blind?

But after thinking about it, Gao Yushi can be regarded as really convinced of these Beijing-style men.You guys are taking money to recruit soldiers. The bully state thieves are thinking about being recruited. Aren’t you happier than seeing grandpa?

Gao Wushi sighed, and said helplessly: "It seems that this matter is a bit difficult to handle, but if the Beijing camp refuses to go, the Yamen of the Ministry of War can't go either, then... we have to wait until Qi Nantang takes office, and invite him I went for a run myself."

When Zhu Yingzhen heard this, he said again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, Qi Nantang recruited refugees to serve as soldiers. In my opinion, it couldn't be better. His selection of soldiers is a masterpiece of Ming Dynasty. In addition, he has the power of the Qi family army. How dare a thieves stroke his beard? I think that's the way it is."

Gao Wushi said with some hesitation: "If you want Qi Nantang to do this, I don't know if he is willing or not, especially if you want to mobilize Qi's army, if there is no money to start..."

"The matter of money is easy to handle. I will take care of it... No, it will be taken care of by the Governor's Mansion of our Five Armies!"

Gao Wushi finally smiled, but his tone was still helpless, and said: "Well, who made us friends for many years, I will go and talk to Qi Nantang in person after he arrives in Beijing."

"Thank you very much, to be honest, thank you very much."
