Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 469: Lingwei goes north

"The Military Academy has gone over to investigate some of the situation on the nine sides."

After the ministers of the cabinet left, Zhu Youxiao looked at the ministers of the Imperial Military Academy and said with a serious expression: "I don't want to mention such shameful things as eating empty pay and drinking soldiers' blood, lax military equipment, neglect of drills, etc." It’s even more common, but Ming Dynasty’s official salary is also not that easy to get.”

"Please tell me, gentlemen, who should be sent to lead the troops to Yansui to properly resolve this matter? My only principle is that things must be done well, but there must be no chaos in the nine borders!"

The emperor has made up his mind.

Wei Guangxu, Jin Xuan, Zhang Kentang and other ministers had different emotions in their hearts after hearing what their emperor said.

Since the establishment of the Military Affairs Council, they have been very busy. After all, they have to take charge of the suppression of rebellions. In the past, there was only the Liaodong Jianlu rebellion, which was relatively easy for the Military Affairs Council, but since there have been more Sichuan and Guizhou chieftain rebellions, After that, the situation became different.

Unknowingly, the Military Academy, which was just an empty body in the past, has added a lot of manpower, and even some officials from the Cleaning Department have sent a lot of manpower to various places.

"Your Majesty, I think we should focus on some elites and send a few more regular troops to accompany us. After all, the situation on the nine sides is complicated. If there is no absolute deterrence, I'm afraid some people will have other ideas."

Under this situation, Wei Guangxu pondered for a moment, stepped forward and bowed: "Also, the previous garrison and guard arrangements in the capital and capital have come to an end now. The garrison and guard system surrounding the capital and capital has basically been able to ensure absolute stability."

"To sum up, I think it is most appropriate to condemn Qin Bangping, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, and personally lead the original white pole soldiers to Yansui."

"First of all, Qin Bangping participated in the Battle of Liaozuo and made great military exploits. Secondly, the original white-pole soldiers were powerful. Sent Qin Bangping to Yansui to thoroughly investigate the case, it will definitely have a deterrent effect, even if anything happens during this period. Qin Bangping can handle all problems calmly."

"Even if something happens, the regular troops dispatched along with them can get corresponding experience, which is beneficial to the court."

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

Jin Xuan, Zhang Kentang and others bowed in response.

Qin Bangping?

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao fell into deep thought. At present, there are indeed many generals who can fight in the army directly under the central government.

For example, Chen Ce, the capital security admiral, Qi Jin, the fifth military camp admiral, and Zhao Lejiao, the Shenshu camp admiral, have even higher qualifications than Qin Bangping.

However, the duties they adhere to vary.

Moreover, in the past few days, many of the troops directly under the central government were sent out by Zhu You from outside the school. For example, the Siwei Battalion was sent to Hanzhong Prefecture to participate in the suppression of the rebellion by the Sichuan and Gui chieftains, and the Warrior Battalion was even sent Under Wei Zhongxian's command, it may be difficult to return to the Ming Dynasty in the next few years.

Deep in Zhu Youxiao's heart, plans involving the military reform of the Ming Dynasty have never stopped. However, if he wants to promote military reform, it must be based on one premise, that is, the army under the central control must be strong enough.

Only in this way can the armies everywhere be frightened, and then the commanders and generals will be forced not to act rashly.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the main army that will go to Yansui with the Admiral Shenji Camp should be selected from the tomb guards stationed at Tianshou Mountain." While Zhu Youxiao was thinking about it, Jin Xuan thought for a while and stepped forward to bow.

"Among the several mobile teams designated by His Majesty, only the Zhuling Guards have never actually been on the battlefield. Although some elite troops were previously mobilized to supplement the Zhuling Guards, there are still too many new soldiers under the Zhuling Guards. This is a rare experience. Opportunity, let alone Qin Bangping’s elite troops.”

"That's it."

Zhu Youxiao, who heard this, pondered for a moment and then said: "The Military Affairs Council has issued an order. Qin Bangping, the admiral of the Shenji Battalion, has been ordered to go to Yansui, and some of the mausoleum guards in Tianshou Mountain have been transferred to Qin Bangping for the time being." "I obey the order!"

Wei Guangxu, Jin Xuan and others were busy bowing in response.

To this day, the Military Academy has been operating as Zhu Youxiao expected. An important part of reforming the Ming army is to completely centralize military power. In the future, except for the Ming emperor who can absolutely dispatch, no one else will have such ability. Military power is Defend the foundation of imperial power.

Only when the barrel of the gun is in your own hands can you be decisive.

News of the Mongolian Tatar plunder came from Jiubian, and inadvertently spread throughout the government and the public. This matter attracted the attention of many people, and some opinions and public opinions were quietly formed.

After Zhu Youxiao learned about these situations, he could tell what was going on at a glance. Some people began to become restless and wanted to use this to stir up the situation.

Don't say anything else.

The silent rise of the Military Academy alone has seriously affected the authority of the Ministry of War. If the Military Academy can also intervene in nine-border affairs in the future, the threat is really too great.

It was also under this situation that Zhu Youxiao secretly summoned Qin Bangping into the palace.

"The Qing family should pay special attention to a few things when they go to Yansui." Outside the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao walked on the royal road and told Qin Bangping who was accompanying him.

"One is the power of the Du family in the Yansui area, the other is whether the Du family maintains contact with Beijing, and the other is to secretly send reliable people to investigate the actual situation in various places in Jiubian."

"The Nine Borders have been suffering for a long time, which has also led to the intricate relationship between the above-mentioned areas. The Qing family is ordered to lead the army to Yansui and must not act too hastily."

"The situation facing the imperial court is very complicated at the moment. I don't want chaos to occur on all sides, but we still have to give enough of a deterrent, so this will be a great test for the Qing family."

Qin Bangping felt a pressure.

When he first received the imperial edict from the Military Affairs Council, Qin Bangping didn't think too much. He just thought that he would solve some problems and even, if necessary, lead his ministries to launch a counterattack against the Mongolian Tatars in Hetao.

But being called into the palace and hearing everything the emperor said made Qin Bangping realize that he had thought simply in the past.

"This time the Qing family leads their troops to Yansui. I'm afraid they will have to stay longer."

While Qin Bangping was thinking, Zhu Youxiao continued: "The various passes in the North that the Zongren Mansion is responsible for have achieved initial results in Jiubian. The corresponding groups are already aware of this matter, and many people have even begun to gather together. If Zhangjiakou, Shahukou and other places want to ensure the long-term trade beyond the Great Wall, they must frighten the grassland tribes beyond the Great Wall."

"So when the Qing family goes to Yansui, they may lead their troops to launch an offensive against the Mongols in Hetao. I will announce the specific details of how to do this."

"I accept the decree!"

When Qin Bangping heard this, he immediately bowed and said: "I am going to Yansui this time with an order, and I will definitely abide by His Majesty's will, share His Majesty's worries, and take care of the country!"

Although the situation he faced was very complicated, Qin Bangping did not flinch at all, or even rejected anything. This was not in line with his character, and it was precisely this that made Zhu Youxiao sigh in his heart. If all the generals of the Ming Dynasty could be like Qin Bangping, then why Will this be what it is now?
