Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 711 Factions
"Father, the slaves of the three surnames were defeated twice by the father, why should they be superior to the father?"

In Nanyang City, He Zhen received a new appointment.

The emperor conferred He Zhenwu Sanjie as the second-rank general of the town army, transferred to the No. 20 town of the imperial camp as the deputy admiral, added the title of Prince Shaobao, made Qi Guogong, and sealed [-] households.

The No.20 town of Yuying newly compiled is located in Hubei. It consists of a part of Yuying, then Li Dingguo's Xiying, and Gao Yigong Liu Tichun Hao Yaoqi and other Shunying parts, as well as Yao Ke, Wang Bin, etc. Xiangying The rebel army in Yunxing'an and other places, plus Sun Fashou's Guanzhong rebel army, and He Zhen's Hanzhong troops were reorganized.

The deputy admiral is from the first rank, and his rank is not low.

Moreover, the twenty towns are the imperial camp, the direct line of the emperor, and the central army.

But because the admiral of these twenty towns was Zhu Dingguo, He Zhen always felt a little sick.Who is Zhu Dingguo?

Zhu Dingguo, who is only in his 20s this year, even has the name of Xiao Yuchi, but after Zhang Xianzhong entered Shu, when he sent troops to fight for Hanzhong in northern Sichuan, Zhu Dingguo led his troops to fight He Zhen several times, but he was defeated several times. He had never won once in He Zhen's hands.

Not only lost to He Zhen, but also to Ma Ke.

Later, he lost to Wu Sangui, Aobai, and Li Guohan. Anyway, in He Zhen's eyes, Zhu Dingguo recognized his father as powerful, and fighting in battle was just a man's courage.

He Zhen was originally a general of the Ming Dynasty, but later surrendered, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and then joined Zhu Yihai anyway. He marched into Guanzhong with Wang Guangtai, Hao Yaoqi, etc., and joined forces with Sun Shoufa, Wu Dading, Hu Xianghua, etc., claiming that a [-] army attacked Xi'an. Deceived by Meng Qiaofang and attacked by Wu Sangui and Li Guohan, he was defeated and fled back to Hanzhong.

But he returned to Hanzhong with the defeated soldiers, and met Li Dingguo who was still beating the young Ten Thousand Enemies and ran away with his head in his arms.

Soon after Li Dingguo received reinforcements from Zhang Xianzhong, he made a comeback and led a large army to attack He Zhen's village, which was just a fortress, but he couldn't take it down after a month of fighting. He Zhen turned around to help and beat Li Dingguo again. Flee in defeat.

Both times, He Zhen won more with less.

But now the emperor asked Zhu Dingguo, who was only in his 20s, to be the admiral of No.20 Town, but he was the deputy admiral.

He Zhen was very dissatisfied, no matter in terms of age, seniority or achievements, he thought he was far above Zhu Dingguo. He thought that when the emperor raised his army, he had already occupied the important place in Hanzhong, and he supported him with tens of thousands of troops. .They sent troops to attack Guanzhong again, although they were unsuccessful, they also restrained and attracted many elite Tartars.

And in the past few years in Hanzhong, they also provided great flank support for Wen'an's Qin Liangyu and their troops in Sichuan.

And Zhu Dingguo was beaten by him in the past few years in northern Sichuan, and he didn't dare to show his head. Later, he followed Zhang Xianzhong to the north, but what achievements did he have?
The Western Army was almost completely annihilated. Li Dingguo even lost his father, the guy who couldn't keep his father, but now he is his immediate boss?
What's even more irritating is that his deputy admiral is not the second in command of No.20 town.

There are Chang Shi and Sima above him, who are separated as the second and third leaders. His deputy admiral is only ranked fourth. The fourth deputy, this is unavoidably dissatisfying.

Originally, the towns were reorganized before, and he and Sun Shoufa were stationed in Xing'an Mansion after the reorganization. Sun Shoufa was a civilian, and he was the chief of a town.

Regardless of the outer town and the town, it is always the head of the town.

Now reorganized into the No.20 town, but only the fourth deputy admiral.

He Zhen's elder brother, He Da, also slapped the table directly, "We can accept another person as the admiral, but because Zhu Dingguo recognized the emperor as his father, can he ride on our head?"

Lieutenants Zhang Quan, Li Potou, Wang Huhu, Zhao Guangyuan, Han Wen, Shen Zhengfu and other direct descendants were not happy.

With the reorganization this time, Xing'an Town is no longer reorganized.

Originally they were stationed in Xing'an Prefecture, and they should be reorganized into Zhu Pengfei's No. 19 town. The [-]th town is based in Shaanxi, and both Hanzhong and Xing'an prefectures belong to Shaanxi.

But now they are reorganized into No.20 Town, but the admiral is Zhu Dingguo, the defeated general and old enemy.

"That's right, it's all messed up." He Zhen's son yelled unfairly, "Why should Zhu Dingguo be the admiral? There are also problems with the long history and Sima. Hao Yaoqi is the long history, and Wang Guangtai is the Sima. Are you on par with your father? Actually above your father!"

Hao Yaoqi was also from the Shun Army, and Wang Guangtai was also a rebel army in his early years. Later, he was recruited with his brother Wang Guangen and became the Yunyang Defender.

In terms of background, qualifications and abilities, and even the achievements of the past few years, He Zhen felt that they were far inferior to her.

But now these guys who came from the western bandits and Shun bandits are riding on his head one by one, but now he, a serious and meritorious general who was born as a frontier general, is now only the fourth deputy admiral in the twenty towns.

Seeing that they were talking too much, Zhao Guangyuan felt flustered and frightened, so he quickly reminded him in a low voice, "Everyone be careful, Zhang An's head is still hanging on the top of Nanyang City."

When it comes to Zhang An, everyone is unavoidably discouraged.

Dongman Zhang An rebelled, but his head was beheaded in less than half a day, which really shocked countless soldiers.

"We're just discussing the facts, and we're not trying to rebel." He Daoning shouted.

He Zhen glared at the eldest son. He is really young and foolish. Whether it is intentional or not, the word rebellion is unacceptable. In the past, everyone was far above the emperor, so it didn't matter what you said, but now under the eyes of the emperor, such words can be said casually. Nonsense?
He glanced at Zhao Guangyuan, who was also his defeated general. Zhao Guangyuan was the general of the Qiang Han in Sichuan, and then he was defeated by Li Zicheng and surrendered to Li Zicheng. The soldiers and horses were annexed by him.

This person is an idiot, but when He Zhen looked at him, she suddenly felt that this person might already belong to the emperor.

Immediately put away the expression of dissatisfaction.

"What Zhao Zongbing said is that the sage's arrangement has its own brilliance. How can we speculate and comment on it? Don't talk about it. Everyone just accept the imperial court's arrangement."

"Boss."

"Father?" He Daoning stepped forward.

"You followed me. Although you have practiced good bow and horse martial arts, you have also missed your studies. I will give a thank you book to the saint. By the way, I ask His Majesty to allow you to be a guard in the inner four guards. Study for a few years, and hone your mind, don't bluff all day long."

Sending his son to Yunwei naturally meant showing his sincerity and sending him as a pledge.Before that, He Zhen had already sent several nephews to Beijing, some into the Imperial Academy, some into the martial arts hall, but the eldest son of the direct line did not hesitate to send them, and even sent them all from concubines.

When He Zhen's thank you book was delivered to Zhu Yihai, he was quite satisfied after reading it.

This book was written by He Zhen herself. The handwriting is very ordinary, but it also reveals the fierceness of a general. Although it is a bit sloppy, it is very vigorous.

Zhu Yihai did not allow officials to have other people write the private documents for him.

He Zhenshe sent the eldest son here, and accepted the new position on the form, which shows that the emperor's power is not bad, especially Zhang An's head is really effective.

He Zhen can be regarded as a standard warlord in the late Ming Dynasty. He jumped repeatedly, had no loyalty, and voted for whoever was strong.But at the end of Ming Dynasty, there were too many such warriors, and there was nothing special about them.

He was born as a general of the Ming Dynasty, surrendered to Shun and voted to the Qing Dynasty, and then returned to the Ming Dynasty anyway.

Anyway, he occupied Hanzhong at the time, and he also brought tens of thousands of horses, so he was considered strong. He didn't listen to the imperial decree, and insisted on allied forces to attack Xi'an. , I was a little more honest afterwards.

Because of Ma Ke's backstab, Wu Sangui and Li Guohan's threat to enter Hanzhong, and Wang Guangen's rebellion made their situation worse and worse. In addition, Zhang Xianzhong's large-scale northward movement made He Zhen and others have to squeeze to survive, and they became more polite to the court.

But this person is a warlord after all.

It can only be said that now that he has been forced to that position step by step, he has less and less capital in his hands, and he is no longer able to fight against the emperor.

In the No.20 town stationed in Hubei, Zhu Yihai, who has less seniority, is appointed as the admiral. Zhu Yihai is deliberate. Zhu Dingguo is still very young and has no outstanding achievements. However, this man is the God of War in Nanming after all, which shows that the upper limit is very high.

In addition, he now has the status of the righteous son of the emperor, and using him as an admiral also means that the small ones control the big ones. Zhu Dingguo lacks qualifications, so he will not be able to support himself as a warlord and be more obedient as an admiral.

Although He Zhen, Hao Yaoqi, Wang Guangtai, etc. are all powerful generals, they are also from bandit army backgrounds with similar qualifications, and no one agrees with the other. Zhu Yihai deliberately picks out one from each faction for the sake of balance.

Zhu Yihai also specially selected Zeng Ying and Wang Mingqian as the chief soldiers of the two associations in the No.20 town, and Wang Chaoxian and Zhang Guozhu as the deputy chief soldiers. These four generals also have a lot of history.

For example, Zeng Gongzi Zeng Ying, a white-faced scholar in Sichuan, is a fierce general. When Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, he proposed to the governor a strategy to suppress bandits. defeat.

But Zeng Ying recruited 500 troops, and he was able to defeat Zhang Xianzhong's [-] troops.

However, Zeng Ying was put on the bench by Zhu Yihai because of his disobedience to Wen Anzhi's last mutiny in Chuanzhong, which can be regarded as wearing him down.

Wang Mingqian is the eldest son of Wang Zhiren. Although he is young, he has a good background. He is also a Conglong Yuanxun. When he was young, he underestimated the enemy and made mistakes. Zhang Guozhu once stole Dinghai City. After several years of hard work, he has made great achievements in the war.

However, because Wang Mingqian had clashed with the generals of the friendly army not long ago and directly led his own soldiers to fight, which had a bad influence, Zhu Yihai demoted him from deputy admiral to deputy commander in chief, and transferred him to twenty towns, which can be regarded as punishment.

Wang Chaoxian and Zhang Guozhu were both generals of the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen Dynasty, but at the beginning, because they supported Yiyang King to supervise the country and fought against Zhu Yihai, it was considered cold for a while, especially when Zhang Guozhu went to vote for the Tartars for a while.

But in the past two years, his performance has been pretty good. Although he was only awarded the deputy general this time, this is the imperial battalion, so it can be regarded as having completed the test and been officially activated.

The chiefs of the No. 20 town's military order, supervision, staff, and logistics divisions were all transferred from the original imperial battalion to take up these important positions.

The situation of the No.20 town stationed in Hubei is a relatively common situation in this large-scale army reorganization. Basically, the main officers and soldiers in all the imperial camp towns stationed in various provinces have undergone such major adjustments.

After this adjustment, when the towns are stationed in the provinces, there will no longer be military leaders armed with independent soldiers and horses in the interior, and the original mountain tops of various soldiers and horses will also be demolished.

He Zhen went from Hanzhong to Xi'an, retreated back to Hanzhong, then retreated to Xing'an Mansion, and now transferred to Hubei, this big warlord has also been completely put on the bridle by Zhu Yihai, and even if he still has any thoughts in the future, he is gone The capital can't be turned over.

Of course, Zhu Yihai thought he was not mean to him.

Qi Guogong, the general of the town army, the deputy admiral of the No.20 town, and the prince Shaobao, these are all top-level treatment.If he is not satisfied with this, it can only be said that he is ignorant of current affairs and not yet smart.

Zhu Yihai believes that He Zhen is a smart person who knows how to choose.
