golden scales

At the beginning of July in the 17th year of Chongzhen, a large number of civil servants were appointed as magistrates of counties in Shandong and local officials in Xuzhou.

Among them are the clerks and officials who were trained by the servants of the Eastern Palace, and there are also officials who were previously convicted of corruption and laziness.It's just that the Ren Shu this time is very different from the previous ones. It is no longer the "Emperor's Prince's Treasure" of the East Palace Order, but the official official text of the Eight Classics.

The emperor moved to Lu Wangfu in Yanzhou, and once again ordered the officials from the southern capital to go north to accompany him.At the same time, the new list of cabinet assistants was also circulated throughout the country. Li Yuzhi, Wu Yu, and Sun Chuanting all added the title of bachelor and joined the cabinet to assist the government.

In the eyes of some people, this means the harmony between father and son between Donggong and the emperor.However, some people noticed that there were only four members in the cabinet, with Li Yuzhi as the first, Wu Sheng as the second assistant, and Jiang Dejing as the rear.Two of these four were old men who were loyal to the emperor, and two were notorious criminal officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty.Where is the harmony between father and son?It's clearly a court of justice!

Among the four pavilion elders, Li Yuzhi still held the title of Minister of the Ministry of Officials and was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Officials.Wu Tong entered the cabinet as a book of the Ministry of Rites, and took pictures of the affairs of the Ministry of Households.Sun Chuanting regained the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and was also in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.

Jiang Dejing was in Chongzhen for 15 years as Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Bachelor of Dongge University.The Minister of Rites is the head of the six officials, but later he became a stepping stone to join the cabinet, and he has no visible achievements.However, when Jiang Dejing served as Minister of the Household Department, he received many praises, and he was regarded as a rare capable minister in the Chongzhen Dynasty.So this time he entered the cabinet but did not clearly assign duties, and he was considered to be more powerful in the officialdom as the crown prince.

"Anyway, it's finally a thousand miles closer to the foundation of our ancestors." Zhou Hou had nothing to say, and said to Emperor Chongzhen who was studying at his desk: "This Laizhou mansion is really boring."

"Hmm." Chongzhen pointed at the text with his finger.Frowning tightly, he just responded with his mouth, obviously turning a deaf ear.

Emperor Chongzhen was keen and eager to learn since he was a child, and he never gave up lectures on scriptures and banquets after he ascended the throne. He was regarded by the civil servants as the most studious emperor in the Ming Dynasty.Since he took the Donggong anthology, it has opened his eyes even more, and he has been studying day and night, although it makes people worry that he is too tired.But at last, there was no more violent rage before.

Zhou Hou was helpless, and was about to leave the emperor to read by himself, when Wang Chengen came in with a whisk in his arm.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen came forward to pay respects, and said, "Your Highness, the Taipu Temple has already prepared everything needed for the relocation, and we only need to wait for the Emperor's decree. Then we can drive to Yanzhou."

"Where's the guard?" Zhou Hou asked.

"His Royal Highness has dispatched the cavalry battalion and the first guard battalion. There are a thousand people to guard the holy chariot." Wang Cheng'en said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Princess Kunxing will welcome him in Tai'an Prefecture."

Emperor Chongzhen raised his head when he heard the word "Crown Prince", and asked: "The fortune of the country is not good, so we should keep things simple. When is the last auspicious day?"

"Go back to the emperor, the days given by Qin Tianjian. The sixth day is the closest. But if you start driving on the sixth day, the seventh day will be on the way." Wang Chengen replied.

Qixi Qiqiao Festival is a very festive festival of the year.Since the people of the Song Dynasty did not pass the Shangsi Festival, the Qiqiao Festival has become the Girl's Day, which is very popular among the people and the palace.The emperor is naturally not interested in this day, but the queen and the ladies in the palace may not be willing.

"I didn't have a good holiday this year." Zhou Hou really sighed: "During the Dragon Boat Festival, Cihong was still fighting outside. Sigh."

"Choose a date after Qixi Festival." Chongzhen thoughtfully said.

"It's not easy to live in Laizhou City," the woman's mind was really unpredictable. "Let's go to Yanzhou earlier. How to get there on this road?"

"Going back to Niangniang, I took the nearest road: from Laizhou to Weixian County, walk to Linsu, pass Qingshiguan and turn westward. After arriving at Tai'an Prefecture, go south to Qufu, and then go west for half a day to Yanzhou." Wang Chengen Originally, I had no idea about this road, but after seeing the sand table sent by the Guards, it was as if I had walked by myself, and every plant and tree was in my mind.

With a thought in his heart, he added another sentence: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, there is a sand table, do you want to present it?" He made his own decision before, but it made the emperor and the inner palace ashamed. Fortunately, he was not punished, but it was not the emperor's heart It is inevitable.This time, the sand table can't speak, so it should be able to save some.

It's not that the emperor has never seen a sand table, but it was at the military meeting presided over by the Eastern Palace. He was so high above that he couldn't see it clearly.Now, as long as it is something produced by the East Palace, he can be very interested, so he ordered someone to bring it in immediately.

The sand table is more intuitive than the map, and the craftsmen of this era always have incomparable patience and the pursuit of art.They can always make the work at hand as exquisite as possible within the deadline.The sand table in front of Chongzhen was made later when he had enough time. All the plants and trees on it were taken from real objects, no matter which one, they can stand alone and become a good potted plant.

It was the first time Zhou Hou saw it, and she was amazed, and exclaimed: "This is a coincidence, fortunately they can think of it."

"Those craftsmen are just following their orders." Wang Chengen calmly credited the crown prince for the credit.

Chongzhen and Zhouhou just nodded, and took out the magnifying glass on the desk to look at it. They couldn't get enough of it, so they ordered someone to send Dingwang Yongwang to come and take a look.

Wang Chengen finally got over it, and was very happy.But when he got outside, he inadvertently asked who was sent by the First Guards Battalion, but he was hit hard, and his heart seemed to be pinched again and again by an invisible hand.

The First Guards Battalion has three thousand headquarters and six divisions under its jurisdiction. It's not good to send anyone, but the tank division!

The general manager of the tank division is precisely the Liu Si who deserved a thousand knives!

……

Tai'an Prefecture, East Palace Annex.

"Your Highness, white armored soldiers from the East often appear in the south of Gyeonggi recently, and their intention to go south is obvious." Xiao Mo also didn't want to transfer one of his most combative officers to be a bodyguard, especially if the general Liu Si was not affected by the situation. The emperor and empress welcome.It was difficult for him to understand the crown prince's arrangement. Did he deliberately remind the emperor of his unpleasant experience?

"It is precisely because of the tank division's strong combat effectiveness that they are allowed to escort them." Zhu Cihong said with a smile.

"That Donglu..."

"Without the Tank Division, you wouldn't be able to fight?" Zhu Cihong asked.

Xiao Mo stood at attention and said loudly, "Even if there is no tank division, our battalion can still fight against the Eastern captives!"

Zhu Cihong nodded: "I called you here this time because I have something to discuss with you alone."

"The final general will obey the order!"

"It's a discussion." Zhu Cihong said with a smile, "That's it. You see, the reserve battalion at Min Zhanlian's side has already grown in size, and the Qin soldiers and Yu soldiers gathered before have also been organized into the third guard battalion. The next batch of training is qualified. , There are about 3000 people who can be assigned to the flag team. I am thinking, whether to separate these 3000 people into a battalion, form a division, or distribute them to each battalion.”

Xiao Mo immediately understood.If a division is to be formed, then the First Guards Battalion will become the First Guards Division, otherwise the crown prince will not let him come back alone.

"Your Highness, at the end of the day, we will see craftsmen forging weapons, and they will pour good steel on the blade." Xiao Mo said: "My first guard battalion is brave and good at fighting. If it can be expanded into a division, it will be even more powerful."

"What I'm worried about is that the expansion of the establishment is too fast, whether the corresponding tactical arrangements can keep up, and whether the training speed of officers can keep up." Zhu Cilang paused and said: "Also, if two battalions form a division, the training of officers will not be able to keep up." If the effectiveness cannot be greater than that of two independent battalions, I would rather set up another independent battalion."

Due to the limitation of attack power, the troop establishment cannot be too small, otherwise there will not be enough firepower.

Also because military orders can only be conveyed through flags, too large an establishment will cause a lot of trouble.When the emperor sent generals to go on an expedition, he often had the right to "handle with the opportunity" and "act cheaply", because the communication technology was backward and it was difficult to coordinate.In the Battle of Saerhu that year, Yang Gao's 20 troops marched into Hetuala in four directions, but they were defeated by Nurhachi one by one, which is enough to be an example.

"Your Highness, the general is willing to give it a try." Xiao Mo said firmly. (To be continued. Your support is my greatest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to m. to read.)
