The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 391: The Dragon Is Coiled, The Tiger Is Lying
In order for his father to be a good commander-in-chief and guard the entrance of the Liaoxi Corridor, Huang Han decided to attack the civil servants and generals in Ningyuan City, and he would not be merciless.

Huang Han didn't like the Guan Ning Army. Historically, this army, which had exhausted the blood of the Ming Dynasty, did not kill many Jiannu, and finally joined Jiannu, harming tens of millions of Han people.

He has been influenced by the military and civilian families since he was a child, how to transform the old army is a trivial matter for Huang Han, a time traveler.

The first thing we need is righteousness. Shangzhezi of Huangyi Prefecture took the initiative to ask for an order to inspect Ningyuan's soldiers and horses to eliminate the old and weak soldiers. In order to prevent troubles such as the soldiers of the [-]th Battalion of Ningyuan who were unwilling to accept the inspection in the first year of Chongzhen, please temporarily transfer the "Red Banner Army" Two thousand bosses crossed the sea to help.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Ningyuan's mutiny against civil servants and military generals is still fresh in his memory. Bi Zisu, the new governor of Liaodong, was just for the sake of the court, and he focused on inspecting soldiers and horses and paying food and salaries according to real figures.

The final result turned out to be that the Sichuan Army and Huguang Army of the [-]th Battalion of Ningyuan, who had only owed their salary for three or four months, made a fuss about their salary. Bi Zisu fell into a conspiracy and committed suicide in shame and indignation.

As soon as Huang Yizhou went to Ningyuan to take up his post, he took the initiative to ask the imperial court to send capable personnel to inspect Ningyuan's soldiers and horses. How could the emperor not support it?Chongzhen really wanted to know how many soldiers could fight in the world.

Moreover, General Huang was prudent in his work, worried that the 360 families he brought from Kaiping would not be able to live in the town, so he invited his son to bring [-] to [-] "red flag troops" to help.

In order to coordinate with this inspection of soldiers and horses, the imperial court transferred back Ning Qian Bing Bei Dao and Wang Yingchao, the eunuch who was likely to be assimilated by the Guan Ning Army, and promoted Gao Youmou to be the fifth rank. The highest civil official of the second inspection, sent Chengquan to Ningyuan to supervise the army.

Years ago, Sun Chengzong, the governor of Ji Liao Dynasty, had submitted memorials many times to ask for his old age to return to his hometown. Emperor Chongzhen sent back memorials three times to persuade him to stay, and Sun Chengzong still wrote four times. The emperor agreed!
In the first month, the retired old man Gao Di was recommended by many disciples and old officials to become an official again.

He is not as good as Sun Chengzong, and the emperor did not give him the high position of the governor of Jiliao, but gave him the Minister of the Ministry of War to manage Liaodong, and his office is in Shanhaiguan.

Chongzhen finally hated the faction that the same party was fighting against dissidents. This time, he decisively used Gao Di, a non-partisan, and made up his mind to test Ningyuan's troops.

The emperor had high hopes. If Huang Yizhou and his son screwed up this check and verified that Ningyuan's soldiers eliminated the old and weak soldiers, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty might be disappointed.

Huang Han has a well-thought-out plan, with power, financial resources, force, food, a strong city not far from the sea, and the hands of the holy decree, which represents the righteousness of the court, and it is easy to deal with a small group of people with ulterior motives.

Huang Han believed with certainty in his heart that not all grassroots military officers and soldiers would be of the same mind as the warlord generals.

Because this is not in line with common sense, the warlord generals can only get their loyalty if they treat their servants well, so the military pay that is full of private pockets must be reserved for the servants.

The rations and salaries given by the imperial court will be [-]% to [-]% when they leave the capital, and then they will be drifting all the way. I am afraid that half of them will be good in the hands of the generals of the Ningyuan Guanning Army.

The generals have to eat and drink well and take care of their family members. You can imagine what kind of life ordinary soldiers are living. Is it possible to expect these grassroots soldiers to be loyal to these generals who are full of food?

As we all know, those who follow Qi Jiguang are the hero Qi Jiajun who everyone gives a thumbs up to, those who follow Zuo Liangyu are the bandits that everyone despises, those who follow Li Zicheng are the bandits, and those who follow the slaves are the traitor army.

In fact, the components of these soldiers are mainly Han people. There is not much difference in essence. Before these people burned, killed, looted, and raped women, they were led by Huang Han.
Huang Han was very kind and didn't plan to kill people as soon as he came up. Instead, he first asked for a study class to retrain Ning Yuan's generals, and was ready to convince people with virtue and reason.

Preach to senior officers above the Ningyuan General Banner how to establish a correct moral outlook and how to know how to be a human being.

Therefore, there are many generals who are going to study in Jinzhou City, and there is no specific regulation on how many days the semester will take.

The sage said: There is no discrimination in teaching, and the people who come to study must learn real things, get a real education, and begin to understand the true meaning of life before they can be reinstated.

Those who resist learning cannot be beaten or scolded. According to the school regulations, they are punished with confinement, running circles along the pasture, no meat to eat, and asking students to provide critical help during meetings, etc...

There is a large place and a lot of houses, which can satisfy thousands of officers to practice literature and martial arts at the same time. It is estimated that after three months, some educated generals will change their minds and return to the arms of the great Ming army.

All senior generals with a hundred households and above must learn without exception. Those below a hundred households can handle it at their own discretion. The generals who have been named can't do it. Damn.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and 15-year-old boys are passionate. When their teacher Huang Han gives an order, they will go through fire and water without hesitation. When Huang Han orders to fire, even the kings and fathers dare to fight.

When the generals returned to the original army, they found that the army had changed beyond recognition. The soldiers had reorganized and got used to being paid in full. One by one, they raised their heads and learned self-esteem and self-love.

On the 27th of the first lunar month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Huang Yizhou, who had already arrived in Ningyuan City, gathered generals. The military leaders in Ningyuan City were sparse until after the three-way drum sounded. leave.

After Gao Youmou got the appointment of Ning Qian Bing Bei Dao, he contacted Huang Han in time to take up his post. At this time, he had already entered Ningyuan City with Huang Han.

Cheng Quan was promoted to be the chief eunuch of the supervising army, and he was full of ambitions. Others regarded Liaodong as a land of tigers and wolves. He didn't think so, because he had watched the "Red Banner Army" fight twice, and had confidence in Huang Han, thinking that Ning Yuan was Huang Han. The father's garrison must be impenetrable.

He also received advice from his good friend Fang Zhenghua, knowing that His Majesty attaches great importance to this inspection of soldiers and horses, and the task of completing this gathering is to read out the imperial decree.

It is obvious that the generals of Ningyuan did not buy into a foreign general officer. Some people simply ignored the sound of the drums and sent their servants to ask for leave. .

After the new army supervising eunuch read out the imperial decree, the generals were even more upset. Basically, no one was willing to cooperate with the imperial court's inspection. More than 100 generals came out of the lobby of Ningyuan General Military Mansion cursing and preparing to return to the camp and their homes.

I'm sorry, but since you're here, don't leave.
