Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 1060: The Attack of Ming Dynasty (7)

The news that Xiong Tingbi was appointed as the commander-in-chief to go to Chengde spread in the capital in the shortest possible time, causing quite a stir and impact in the court and the country.

Previously, the Military Affairs Council, the Lifanyuan and other government offices had made various plans and deployments regarding the Mobei Incident, and this movement inevitably made some people notice something.

But ah.

No one knows the details.

Zhu Youxiao attached great importance to special yamen or yamen granted new powers, so these officials had strict confidentiality measures and corresponding reward and punishment measures.

If Zhu Youxiao had not tacitly approved this matter, it would never have been possible for the news to spread so quickly.

In Zhu Youxiao's opinion, since the situation has changed, he should stop being hesitant and just make things clear.

In the eyes of many people, the most noteworthy thing nowadays is the changes in Mo Nan. The Ming Dynasty will launch various actions because of the various things in Mo Nan.

But Zhu Youxiao was not only looking at the south of the desert. He had to focus closely on this variable and solve some problems at the same time. After all, the Ming Dynasty had more than three or two opponents.

Beijing.

Capital Police Admiral's Office.

"Based on the current situation, when Xiong Shufu leads the army to Chengde, the first to sixth armies will surely be assigned elite troops. This is really enviable."

"Who says it's not true? Since the reorganization of the Beijing Camp, the First to Sixth Armies have undergone a complete transformation. Your Majesty really values ​​them. The firearms and artillery developed and mass-produced by the Armaments and Cleaning Officials Department have been equipped to them in batches."

"Damn it, it seems that our Beijing City Police Commander Office will not be able to catch up with such a good thing. Oh, if I had known this would happen, I should have stayed in the Beijing Camp. It makes me angry just thinking about it."

"Come on, do you really think you can stay in the First to Sixth Armies? Do you know how strict their training and assessments are?"

"Have you heard that the Tiger Guards and the Brave Guards, who are part of the emperor's personal army, will follow Xiong Shufu to Chengde?"

"The Tiger Guards are going too? Wow, it looks like they're going to be fighting with big sticks. The Tiger Guards are extremely special in the emperor's personal army. They were selected from the chieftains from all over the southwest. The strongest among them are definitely the White-Staff Soldiers!"

"Is this true? If the Tiger Guards are going, wouldn't that elite force that can fly also join the battle? My goodness, there is no need to mobilize the Tiger Guards to fight against a bunch of Jianlu and Mengta."

"You are only concerned about the Tiger Guards. What about the Brave Guards? Did I tell you to forget all about them? This is a large army fully equipped with firearms and artillery. Even though they are young, they are orphans raised by the emperor. They started out playing with muskets and artillery. This is no joke!"

In the main hall of the admiral's office, a group of officers gathered and chatted with each other. It was not difficult to see from their expressions that they attached great importance to what happened in Mo Nan.

After a long period of rectification, the garrison system around the capital and even the northern Zhili region has undergone a comprehensive adjustment and change.

In this military reform that has a wide impact and involves many fields, the corresponding powers of the Beijing Garrison Commander's Office, Tianjin Garrison Commander's Office, and Baoding Garrison Commander's Office have been further clarified, and the organizational structure of the troops under their jurisdiction has been further clarified. The above three commanders-in-chief need to have an imperial edict issued by the emperor to be appointed, and only the emperor's absolute confidants can take up the position.

Along with the abolition of Wanquandusi and all the guards, another major event actually happened. The Beijing Camp Military Governor and the Beijing Camp Assistant Military Manager were all abolished. This caused quite a stir at the time, and even many ministers submitted memorials to advise against it. However, Zhu Youxiao's attitude towards this matter was very firm.

Now that the First to Sixth Armies have been reorganized, some redundant officials are no longer necessary!

However, not long after this incident, a new position appeared, namely, the commander-in-chief of Shuntian military affairs and assistant manager of the military affairs of the imperial army, and the position was held by Duke Yingguo Zhang Weixian.

He was responsible for the troops stationed in Shuntian Prefecture and at the same time assisted the emperor in commanding his personal troops. This made the military system surrounding the core of the Ming Dynasty clear.

That is, all military and political affairs inside and outside the capital were under the jurisdiction of the Capital Garrison Commander's Office, and the two commissioners' offices of Tianjin and Baoding, which were of the same level, formed a pincer attack with the capital.

Against this background, the troops stationed in Shuntian Prefecture and the emperor's personal troops were placed under the jurisdiction of the governor of Shuntian Military Affairs and the assistant director of the emperor's personal troops, while the external name of the department was still the Rong Government.

Under the backdrop of the capital city and its surrounding areas, the garrison system of the entire northern Zhili region was expanded and clearly divided by the reorganized First to Sixth Armies. This also included all the important towns in the northern border. With such a complete set of arrangements and adjustments, the absolute core military power of the Ming Dynasty was firmly in the hands of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

This is also the reason why, when Zhu Youxiao did some things, such as abolishing the garrisons and the Wanquandusi and other government offices, although he encountered considerable controversy and turmoil, the overall situation was firmly in Zhu Youxiao's hands.

"Ti Rong Zhi!!"

As a loud voice sounded, the noisy main hall immediately became quiet.

Under the gaze of Daodao, Chen Ce walked quickly into the hall.

"Meet Tiron!"

Amidst the polite greetings, Chen Ce sat on the commander's seat.

"I will not say much about what happened in the Mo Nan Incident. I believe you all know it." Chen Ce's eyes were like torches as he scanned everyone in the hall, and he spoke in a sonorous tone.

"Don't even think about the war. This has nothing to do with our Capital City Security Commander Office. But I have to be frank. Some things are not as simple as you think."

"From now on, the Capital City Security Command will enter a state of alert. I will not be responsible for other places, but if any mistakes are made in or outside the capital, even in the suburbs, I will not care about anything else. Whoever's defense zone has problems, I will chop off his head!"

As time went by, the capital city underwent earth-shaking changes. On the basis of the original inner and outer cities, the core area expanded, and various reconstructions and expansions were carried out in full swing. Especially during this period, the Northern Zhili Chidao system built with the capital city as the core also underwent large-scale rectification and expansion.

The intensive handicraft manufacturing industry that Zhu Youxiao has been promoting is now experiencing great development throughout northern Zhili, which has also brought great changes to the Ming Dynasty.

As the core of Northern Zhili and the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the capital is bound to undergo tremendous changes with this great development, so many things are changing quietly.

When everyone in the hall heard what their leader Ti Rong said, they all realized that the capital would not be peaceful for a long time.

Think about it.

Before the incident in Mo Nan, many things happened in the capital due to the Qian Qianyi case. These things would not disappear just because something happened in Mo Nan and the court wanted to intervene in the dispute.

This is unrealistic and impossible.

"And one more thing."

Chen Ce looked at everyone in the hall with sharp eyes, "For merchants entering and leaving the capital, especially those engaged in grain, cloth and other businesses closely related to people's livelihood, our Capital Security Superintendent's Office will send special personnel to monitor them."

"This matter will not only be done in the capital, but also in Shuntian Prefecture. We only need to take care of the capital, and the Rong government will be in charge of Shuntian Prefecture."

"If anyone dares to maliciously drive up prices during this period, causing panic among local people, and if anyone dares to slack off when I am determined to conduct a strict investigation, don't blame me for being ruthless!!"

"Yes!" everyone responded loudly.

A large-scale battle is being planned intensively, and once the war breaks out on the front line, it will inevitably have many impacts on the rear.

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

For Zhu Youxiao, there are some things he must think about ahead of time. It would be best if he could take advantage of this change to deal with some forces and groups.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao also knew that some people would definitely not miss this opportunity. After all, the situation in the southeast area is not very stable.

……

While the Beijing Garrison Commander's Office was making various arrangements in response to Xiong Tingbi's visit to Chengde, many officials during this period were also busy working on various matters.

Such as Rong government.

Such as Shuntian Prefecture.

Such as the Northern Zhili Governor's Office.

Such as the Northern Zhili Governor's Office.

Such as the Baoding Garrison Commander's Office.

Such as the Tianjin Garrison Commander's Office.

After all, this battle in Mo Nan involves far-reaching implications, not to mention that it is closely connected with the central government, so it must be foolproof.

Of course, in addition to these government offices, there are many other places that are the same.

Now I am in the First Army stationed in Northern Zhili.

"General, Xiong Shufu has to go to Chengde as ordered, and he has to set up a forward command. The scale of this battle is definitely not small. No matter what, our First Army must participate."

"Yes, General, since we have been reorganizing, we have been watching those guys in the navy and the two Dusi of Heilongjiang and Jilin going to war everywhere. The men under us are very dissatisfied. If we don't get to fight this time, we will definitely be scolded by the people under us."

"I'm going to Chengde with Xiong Shufu. This battle is definitely going to be big. Even if we can't defeat the Jianlu, we can at least practice with the Mongols. Not to mention the so-called Khan of the grassland, who actually wants to move west to the border of Xuanda. Grandma, is such a person qualified to be the Khan of the grassland?"

"Want to run away to the Xuanda Frontier? Dream on!"

"In my opinion, it is true that there is trouble in the south of the desert, but it is still uncertain who will have the real advantage. Maybe the troops that follow Xiong Shufu to Chengde will be more likely to fight a tough battle than the army in Liaodong and other places!!"

"Is there any need to think about this?! Who in the world doesn't know what kind of temper Xiong Shufu has? Although Hong Chengchou succeeded Xiong Shufu as the Governor-General of Liaodong, he is still a little lacking."

"It's better not to discuss this. After all, Hong Dutang is also trusted by the emperor. If others hear this, it will have a bad impact."

"I didn't say anything else. I just compared Hong Dutang with Xiong Shufu. What will happen if this gets out?"

At the headquarters of the First Army.

A group of officers gathered together, surrounding a sand table, chatting with each other. During this time, You Shilu, who was the commander-in-chief of the First Army at the time, looked intently at the sand table in front of him and ignored these officers at all.

The greatest benefit of the army's reorganization is that everything is moving towards standardization, especially the clarification of responsibilities and powers, which reduces the probability of hidden dangers of self-reliance to a minimum.

Unless an entire unit is determined to maintain its independence, even if some people in the army have this idea, they will be countered and checked by other groups.

In particular, the reorganized army does not allow the existence of private soldiers, which in a sense has eliminated the atmosphere of forming cliques and factions.

The army can only submit to one person, and that is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

If the army deviates from this core, it will be in big trouble.

"Everyone, shut up!"

After an unknown amount of time, You Shilu's voice rang out. His cold eyes swept across the generals, and he said in a sonorous tone, "Xiong Shufu hasn't left the capital yet, and everyone has started to think about these things. Is this something you should worry about?"

When they heard You Shilu say this, all the generals lowered their heads.

"Who should be transferred to Chengde to lead the troops and return to the front command? That is something your majesty needs to consider!"

You Shilu's eyes were sharp as he said, "Before receiving the order from His Majesty and the corresponding official letter from the Military Affairs Council, the responsibility of our First Army is to ensure the stability of our headquarters and the defense zone under our jurisdiction."

"I know that you all want to fight, especially the people below you. But the more we have to wait like this, the more we need to stabilize the situation for me."

“If anyone dares to let me know, and anyone dares to spread or incite anything during this period, and then causes any problems to the First Army, I will chop off their heads first!!”

Fighting a war is not a child's game. There are so many tricks involved.

Don’t say anything else.

When Xiong Tingbi took command of the army and went to Chengde, he would certainly have to dispatch some troops to accompany him. In addition to drawing elite troops from the emperor's personal army, he would also have to draw troops from the first to sixth armies.

However, when deciding who to dispatch and how large the force should be, we need to take into account the overall stability. It is impossible to ignore everything else just for the sake of fighting the battle in Mo Nan.

Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.

If the internal situation is not stable, even if more elite troops are mobilized to fight externally, and even if many great victories are achieved before and after, once the internal situation is unstable, big problems will arise.

As the commander-in-chief of the First Army, even if You Shilu wanted to participate in this battle, he had to calm down, because You Shilu knew better than anyone that during this period, the Military Affairs Council would be the one under the greatest pressure. After all, they had to coordinate everything. Only when these were done well and presented to the emperor, would the emperor issue the corresponding decree.

Therefore, whoever can remain calm during this period will have a greater chance of participating in this battle.

When he thought of this, You Shilu knew what he was going to do. Before the final transfer order was clearly issued, he would not care about other places, but in the First Army, no mistakes or errors could occur. If anyone dared to affect the First Army's participation in this battle, he would definitely not be polite.

In order to be able to fight, You Shilu had no idea how long he had been patient. Now that this opportunity had finally come, he would never let it slip away.
