Daming Yuanfu

As soon as Gao Wushi finished speaking, Huang Zhiting suddenly interjected: "My lord, after hearing what I said, I suddenly feel that this system can also be implemented in southern Xinjiang. Of course, the number of household registrations in southern Xinjiang is not as good as that of Daming. Since there is no need to divide them into four levels, there are as many as 60 mercenaries, or they can be temporarily divided into three types: A, B, and C."

Gao Wushi was a little surprised, and pondered: "But what worries do the armies in southern Xinjiang have?"

"There are no obvious hidden dangers in the six major garrison forces." Huang Zhiting first gave Gao Wushi a reassurance, and then continued: "But the kingdoms have their own armies. Although they obey Jinghua's orders, they are not directly managed by Jinghua. Moreover, Although the soldiers of these kingdoms have been reduced by Jinghua, the total number is still quite large. If the situation changes, it will be a hidden danger to some extent.

The concubine feels that if the A, B, and C grading system can be implemented, the entire southern border military force can be completely controlled by Jinghua more effectively.In addition, the construction of Dingnan City has been completed, and it has gradually become the core of the entire southern border as the master originally envisioned. In this way, I think that I may follow the example of the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty and reorganize the Dingnan Guards into... for a certain It is different from the special armed forces of the rest of the garrison. "

What kind of special armed forces, isn't it just the Southern Border Guards?Gao Wushi understood what Huang Zhiting meant when she heard it.

Whether it is the Imperial Guard Army, the Imperial Forest Army, the Habayashi Army, the Imperial Army, etc., they all have the same meaning, that is, the direct force controlled by the central power can be said to be the source of core power in any regime.

In ancient and modern China and abroad, whenever there are successful cases of palace coups, basically they have mastered the imperial army, or obtained the support of the imperial army.In a very few successful cases, the Forbidden Army may not have been mastered at the beginning, but because of the superb means, the Forbidden Army did not attack it immediately, and finally they were able to win over the Forbidden Army in time when the situation was favorable. The change of the mausoleum.

But in any case, there is no doubt that the imperial army is a force that the ruler must fully master.

The situation in southern Xinjiang is very special, but no matter how special it is, Jinghua's military force is still the most direct basis of its power.And when Dingnan City officially became the core of southern Xinjiang's rule, the status of the Dingnan Garrison has already widened the gap with the other major garrison forces. Huang Zhiting's suggestion to give it a special status can only be said to justify its name.

However, there are other problems here.

If Gao Wushi didn't have such a large foundation in southern Xinjiang, and he was still just an ordinary civil servant of the Ming Dynasty, then even if Huang Zhiting's identity was somewhat flawed, it would not be a big problem.

After all, you, Gao Yushi, are just an ordinary courtier, and the inheritance rules in your family must conform to Daming's traditions. She, Huang Zhiting, is the official wife, and Gao Yuan is the undisputed eldest son.

However, Gao Yushi is not an ordinary courtier. The land in southern Xinjiang is now completely a country within a country-even saying that is not quite right, maybe it should be more like a foreign country.It is almost independent, only nominally composed of several dependent countries of Ming Dynasty.

However, Huang Zhiting's background did not fit the above three categories. She was the daughter of a chieftain. Even if it was okay to regard her as a female chieftain because of the reality at the time, she still could not be regarded as a real upper class in the orthodox concept of Ming Dynasty.

Zhiting, Xin'er, the reason why the palace guards were affiliated with the Kingdom of Siam was first because you were in Dingnan City at that time, and it was most convenient to monitor the Siamese royal family with the army you directly controlled; second, Being attached to the name of the Siamese royal family can not only eliminate some resistance of the Siamese locals, but also allow the Siamese royal family to provide part of the military pay for the garrison, the best of both worlds.

As soon as he said this, not to mention Liu Xin, even Huang Zhiting was stunned.

What if the emperor dies unexpectedly before the establishment of the Dingnan Capital Protectorate?Although according to Gao Wushi and Liu Xin's previous analysis, even if the emperor is really dead now, only his master can control the situation in the capital, but... what about after that?

At first, Gao Wushi didn't understand why Huang Zhiting paid so much attention to this matter, but Liu Xin winked at him quietly, and he immediately understood.

But still the same sentence, since the status of Dingnan City has been determined, it is only natural to strengthen Dingnan's military strength no matter how you look at it. "

But it's different now, she can't see when the emperor will set up the Dingnandu Protectorate, and recently there has been a "medicine diet case" around the emperor, which in her opinion is an extremely dangerous signal!

The Huben Army has a commander, a deputy commander, a Xuanzheng chief, and a chief of staff.The first commander was Gao Yuan, the deputy commander was Gao Yu, the Xuanzheng chief was Cao Ke, and the chief of staff was Gao Lian. "

So if the name of the army is to be changed now, will the above three points be affected? Zhiting, what do you think of this? "

If in your opinion, the entire Dingnan Garrison is to be upgraded to the nature of the "Imperial Guard", then first of all, should this establishment be expanded?If so, the expansion strategy is to set up a sixth town, seventh town, eighth town, etc. in addition to the five towns, or maintain the formation of the five towns, but the infantry association, independent artillery standard, and independent cavalry under the jurisdiction of the towns Wait until you add more?
Secondly, if the Dingnan Garrison is upgraded to the Imperial Guard, how will the so-called Siamese Palace Guards in the city be arranged?Should it remain the same, or find another way?If you want to find another way, should you join this adapted Imperial Guard, or arrange a separate establishment and a name?

Liu Xin helped to add at this time, and said: "If this is the case, the strength of a town will probably be increased to more than 9000, or even 500. The army originally had five towns with 10 people. If it is upgraded... it will be [-] horses less."

The reason is not that he is highly pragmatic, nor is she herself, Huang Zhiting is thinking about the future.Or to put it more bluntly, he was thinking about Gao Yuan.

If this is the case, Huang Zhiting probably won't be as concerned about whether the Dingnan garrison will be expanded as it is now, because Daming's tradition is very stable, the eldest son's inheritance right must never be challenged, and Gao Yuan's position is very firm.

Even Huang Zhiting always has some other worries, that is, several members of the Gao family's clan currently hold real power, but Gao Pragmatic is not worried at all that they dare to show their teeth to him, and they dare to delegate power when using it. There are military powers...

Yes, Huang Zhiting also knew that they would not dare to show their teeth to Gao Yushi even if they were killed, but what about the young master Gao Yuan?Here Huang Zhiting actually has a hidden worry buried in her heart for a long time, and that is her own background.

In her opinion, once the Dingnan Protectorate is established, it will inevitably become a semi-independent kingdom. It is like a super large-scale chieftain in Ming Dynasty. Most of the time it's just a formality.

Huang Zhiting asked herself that she was too inferior in politics, and she might not even be as good as Liu Xin in the past few years, so she simply followed the most stupid way: first, pay close attention to the foundation of Southern Xinjiang, and everything else first. After a while.Therefore, Huang Zhiting will regard all matters that are conducive to Gao Yuan's smooth succession of the southern Xinjiang foundation as the top priority, and must be dealt with as a priority as possible.

Gao Wushi pondered and said: "To give the Southern Garrison a status equivalent to the Southern Border Guards, I think there are still a few pre-issues that need to be resolved. The task of the Dingnan Garrison was originally to guard the Kingdom of Siam. When necessary, they can also be dispatched to go out to fight, and usually only the first town is left in the camp on the outskirts of Dingnan City, and the remaining four towns are divided into various places in Siam.

The establishment of this first town is no different from that of the other towns of the garrison, with a strength of 1.However, this army is not the only one in Dingnan City. Except for the first town stationed in the suburban camp, the 700 royal palace guards in the city are actually in charge of city defense. Qian is from Zhiting, and Sanqian is from Xiner.

This is no longer a matter of trust or not, but that this matter is too sensitive, and the master himself may be hesitant to decide, or it may be inconvenient to speak clearly... In short, everything is hard to say.

Of course, Gao Pragmatism can understand Huang Zhiting's thoughts, and he doesn't object.The bigger the foundation, the more important the question of heirs, and at the moment, at least there is nothing obvious about Gao Yuan that makes him feel unsuitable to be his heir.

If it is true to her idea, the sooner this Dingnan Protectorate is established, the happier she will be, because with this Dingnan Protectorate, there will be less chance of accidents when Gao Yuan succeeds in the future.

Perhaps in her opinion, if Gao Yuan wants to inherit Southern Border in the future, he must complete the transfer of power in Dingnan City.In this era, the transfer of power between father and son is basically at the time of the father's death.

Gao Wushi was not particularly sensitive to this, but Liu Xin was quicker than him to see the opportunity. After receiving Liu Xin's hint, he probably guessed what Huang Zhiting meant.

Normally speaking, Gao Yushi should marry the daughter of a civil servant or minister as his wife, otherwise he should marry the daughter of a scholar-lin leader, and at worst, he should marry the daughter of a military official—such as Liu Xin. kind.Only in this case, the status of his legitimate son is indisputably noble-this principle has been said before, that is, the relationship between the mother is noble according to the son, and the son is noble according to the mother.

"Since Zhiting said so, let's discuss this matter for the time being." Gao Wushi calmly said: "The Dingnan Garrison is going to be upgraded to the Huben Army. At that time, there will be six towns, and each town will govern the infantry, three associations, artillery The cavalry and cavalry each have an association, and the engineering and transportation soldiers each have an independent standard.

"These are two things, let me answer them one by one." Huang Zhiting thought for a while, and said: "As for the promotion of the Dingnan Garrison, I think that there is no need to expand the number of townships, and the five townships can still be maintained. However, The infantry associations under the jurisdiction of each town should be increased from two associations to three associations, and the independent artillery standard and independent cavalry standard should be upgraded to one artillery association and one cavalry association, and the engineering and transportation departments should also be upgraded accordingly according to this law."

Before Gao Yushi said anything, Huang Zhiting already expressed his position: "Since ancient times, strong branches and weak branches are always better than strong branches and weak branches. The six major garrisons originally had about 30 soldiers, and Dingnan only had more than [-] soldiers. The military system is different from previous dynasties, so I didn't say much before.

In other words, these people neither dare nor dare to have any ambiguity about high pragmatism.However, to Gao Yuan, this group of people is like "former ministers".They have made a lot of contributions, and they have all served Gao Yushi for at least half of their lives. Who can guarantee what attitude they will have when facing the "young master" Gao Yuan?

These words contain a lot of information. First of all, Gao Wushi not only approved the promotion of the Dingnan Garrison, and named it the "Hubei Army", but also not only expanded the town level as proposed by Huang Zhiting, but also added more From Dingnan—oh, five towns in Huben to six towns in Huben.

If the master has fully grasped the power of the capital, will he be a Duke of Zhou with peace of mind in the future, or simply... even she dare not ask this question.What's more, even if you ask yourself about this kind of thing, it's hard to tell whether the master's answer—no matter how you answer it—is sincere.

Although the emperors of the Ming Dynasty all married the daughters of minor officials in the capital as concubines except at the beginning of the founding of the country, but the Gao family is not the Tian family, and their family is not happy with this.

In Huang Zhiting's view, although Gao Yushi has not been in southern Xinjiang for a long time, he is not only well-known all over the world, but also the important civil and military officials in southern Xinjiang are either from his subordinates, or old generals he has surrendered, or it is simpler, directly Gao family clan.

As early as when Zhu Yijun revealed for the first time that he would set up the Dingnan Capital Protectorate in Southern Xinjiang, Huang Zhiting was very supportive and hoped that this would come true as soon as possible.It's just that Gao Wushi immediately judged that Zhu Yijun didn't really intend to do it at the time when he said this, but hung a carrot in front of him. Huang Zhiting also thought it was reasonable, so he didn't want to express his feelings.

In this way, the total strength of the Huben Army should be close to 12, which is truly a hero in southern Xinjiang.

Secondly, Gao Yushi actually directly appointed Gao Yuan as the commander of the Huben Army!This was exactly what Huang Zhiting was most astonished about.

In ancient China, there was often the theory of the Six Armies of the Son of Heaven and the Six Commands of the East Palace, but often the so-called "Six Armies of the Son of Heaven" actually existed.Even if the "Six Rates of the East Palace" existed in some special periods of very few dynasties, the scale of its troops was very limited, and they were often only symbolic. At most, it would be great to protect the East Palace.

But if the appointment of Gao Yushi is true, it will be the first time in the world... Gao Yuan, the eldest son of the [-] soldiers and horses in southern Xinjiang (after expansion), who is actually similar to the status of the "Eastern Palace", can actually directly control them. More than [-]%, and it also controls Siam, the center of southern Xinjiang!

Even Huang Zhiting, after being shocked for the first time, hastily stopped her and said: "Master, wait a minute! It is absolutely impossible for Yuan'er to directly control the Huben army, please take it back!"
