Ming Dynasty: Starting from Liaodong Jiangmen

Chapter 43 God's Pivot
Li Shunzu naturally noticed the ugly expressions on the nobles' faces, but the matter had come to this point and he could no longer look back. He had already offended, so he should offend more thoroughly and seize the real power of the Beijing camp.

As long as he has these four thousand servants in his hands and can win the war, Emperor Chongzhen will still support him in reorganizing the capital camp, and he will be in an invincible position.

The Houjin Army has not yet left the border, and the Zunyong victory is about to happen in the future. This is the best time!

The declaration of military law has been completed, and the next step is the allocation and dispatch of the generals.

Li Shunzu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked to one side of his old department.

Before coming, Li Shunzu had already had some knowledge of Jingying and its organizational history. The most recent one occurred during the Jiajing period.

In the 29th year of Jiajing's reign, Emperor Jiajing dismissed the regiment camp and the two official offices, removed all new posts, and restored the old system of the three camps in Yongle.

From Li Shunzu's current point of view, this simple line of words is full of turbulent waves and undercurrents. This is actually a secret competition between Emperor Jiajing and the forces of nobles and civil servants.

Judging from the subsequent results of Jiajing's successful dismissal of the regiment camp and the two official offices, Jiajing won that time.

Later, Jiajing changed the name of Sanqianying Camp to Shenshu Camp.

The so-called Shenshu is the one who wins the battle by surprise.

In the Ming Dynasty, astronomy had developed very quickly. The word "Shenshu" also had its own meaning. It was one of the names people at that time gave to the first star in the Beidou constellation - "Greed Wolf", also called Tianshu.

The so-called Tianshu is the soul god of Yangxing.

"Historical Records Tiangong Shu" says: It was transported to the central government and controlled by the four townships.Divide yin and yang, establish the four seasons, balance the five elements, move the festivals, and determine the disciplines, all tied to the battle.

It is not difficult to see from this that just a simple name change entrusted Emperor Jiajing with much emotion at that time.

Coincidentally, the place where Yu Kuan asked to be transferred was the assistant attack general of the left post of Shenshu Camp.

It seems that this kid has done his homework before coming here.

The Three Thousand Battalion, now known as the Shenshu Battalion, was the only team that could accommodate the Mongolians outside the Great Wall.

In addition, the Jingying camp was led by one or several governor-general and military officials, who were called the governor-general Jingying Rongzheng, which was the seat of Li Shunzu and the current Gongshun Hou Wu Weiying.

The governor of Jingying used to be one person, but now Emperor Chongzhen personally ordered Li Shunzu to also governor the military affairs of Jingying, and publicly announced at Guangqumen that he wanted to rectify Jingying. He must also have the idea of ​​​​letting Li Shunzu replace Wu Weiying.

The governor-general of the Beijing camp, the military minister, is not an ordinary role. He is the real powerful person in the Beijing camp. Therefore, not just anyone can do it. He must be a hereditary and noble son with a title. Li Shunzu is now awarded the title of Ning Yuan Bo Xun. Wei, only then do you have this qualification.

But whether the idea can become a reality depends on who wins the battle between Li Shunzu and Wu Weiying.

Li Shunzu knew Emperor Chongzhen's temper very well. If he didn't achieve any results, he would not continue to support him.

But on the contrary, if he achieved remarkable results and gave Emperor Chongzhen a lot of face, he would take the initiative to step down.

No one can shake the position of the people he wants to support, and the people he wants to kill can't be saved even by the combined efforts of civil and military officials.

He was mean and ungrateful, but also generous, capricious, suspicious and arbitrary, this was Chongzhen.

Li Shunzu still remembered that Sai'erzhai was the leader of the Mongolian tribe who had surrendered to the Chahar tribe. Perhaps he could start from the Shenshu camp first and take advantage of the opportunity of Zunyong's battle to connect with the Chahar tribesmen living in Tianjin.

With the patriarch of Sai'erzhai intervening, it must not be difficult to transfer these Mongols to Shenshu Camp.

Therefore, the first thing to do about the allocation of the old divisions today is the Shenshu Camp.

Take the Shenshu Camp, the Fifth Army Camp, and the Shenji Camp of the Beijing Camp as an example. The Fifth Army Camp is the main camp formation and the battle formation, the Shenji Camp is the main firearms, and the Shenshu Camp is the patrol post, responsible for peripheral reconnaissance and raids during the expedition. Most of them are cavalry.

Shenshu Camp is also a place that Li Shunzu valued. If you master Shenshu Camp, you will have a pair of eyes on the Beijing camp. Where there are polices, where there are no police, and where to go. All Shenshu Camps are sentry posts. Towards.

In addition to the governor, there are two general officials in the Beijing camp, one is an internal minister and the other is a court official.

The so-called internal ministers are eunuchs and supervisors of the army. However, in the Beijing camp, this title has become the higher-ranking admiral of the military affairs of the Beijing camp. Generally, the eunuch who is highly famous in the inner court, that is, the great eunuch, serves as the commander-in-chief. The supervisor of each guard in the Beijing camp.

Regardless of whether the imperial guards or the local guards, the internal ministers and supervisors have one thing in common, that is, the generals are the most jealous of them, fearing and hating them.But for Li Shunzu, this was not the case, because the person who took over Li Fengxiang's position happened to be Che Tianxiang, the fourth secretary of the Li Supervisor who was promoted at the same time as Guangqumen.

Without Li Shunzu and Man Gui's victory at Yongding Gate, Li Fengxiang would not have stepped down, and it would not have been Che Tianxiang's turn to take office.

In Li Shunzu's view, he only needed to make a little contact with Cha Tianxiang to win over the minister who was in charge of military affairs.

In the end, the only ones left were the courtiers who assisted in the military affairs of the capital.

Thinking of this, Li Shunzu moved his eyes to the few nobles behind the soldiers in the Beijing camp, and inadvertently looked at the respectful marquis Wu Weiying.

Although the two of them had not spoken a word until now and it was the first time they saw each other, they both felt that each other was very familiar to each other, and their eyes had begun to have a fierce confrontation. Li Shunzu saw the disdain in Wu Weiying's eyes.

Wu Weiying on the other side also saw the indifference in Li Shunzu's demeanor.

Generally, only civil servants who are famous in the court and have military exploits can be promoted to the position of assistant manager of the military affairs of the capital.

There are many famous ministers in the court now, but those who have both military exploits and prestige in the army are rare.

Currently, there is no one else who assists in the military affairs of the capital. He is a famous minister of later generations and the censor of Zuoqiandu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate - Li Banghua.

Regarding Li Banghua, Li Shunzu only knew from history books that he hated evil as much as he hated enemies. Although he was a civil servant, he was very concerned about military affairs.

Historically, Chongzhen also tried to rectify the military affairs of the capital with Li Banghua co-managing the military affairs of the capital.

But strangely, Li Banghua was later deposed by Chongzhen himself.

In the past, Li Shunzu looked at historical materials for later generations and could not see any profound meaning in the records of a few words. However, now that he is in his position, he also knows that the matter is by no means that simple.

According to historical records of later generations, Li Banghua was good at training soldiers and working in the fields, and was able to give loyal advice. After assisting in the military administration of the capital camp, he often visited the military government and could get along well with ordinary soldiers.

Such a civil servant was impeached and dismissed by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. If you think about it, you will know that something is wrong.

If he could get both Che Tianxiang and Li Banghua to his side, there would be no need to worry about being respectful to Hou Wu Weiying.

At least, Li Shunzu can only think of so much now.

The rest is just a matter of taking one step at a time.

With his mind made up, Li Shunzu had a clear mind and decided to implement his rectification strategy step by step.

"The Beijing camp has been ordered to go out with the Liao army this time, and it should set an example for the three armies. Therefore, sentry cavalry and investigation are the most important. The Shenshu camp assists General Yu Kuan in attacking."

Yu Kuan stepped forward.

"The end is here!"

"Yu Kuan's family has been Liao Town generals for generations. Their ancestors have made military exploits and are hereditary Guangqumen Qianzong. Now they have made military exploits in Guangqumen. He was promoted to the rank of assisting general and became the guerrilla general of Shenshu camp. , leading the battle camp."

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion among the children in the Beijing camp.

The Shenshu Camp is divided into three camps, one is the combat barracks, the other is the chariot barracks, and the other is the guard barracks.

As the gathering place for the entire battalion's troops and horses, the War Barracks is the top priority of the Shenshu Camp. Now that Li Shunzu has replaced the general of the Shenshu War Barracks with Yu Kuan, it is obvious that he wants to promote his own subordinates to seize power.

Gongshun Hou Wu Weiying stepped forward with a gloomy face.

His face was ugly, but he still didn't break his face. He was smiling in front of the whole army, but his words were full of threats.

"Ning Yuanbo Xunwei acted like this, I'm afraid it's inconsistent with the system, right?"
