golden scales

In the spring of the fourth year of Longjing, when the Metropolitan Government inspected the records of various military towns, it discovered the troop numbers issued by the Korean Division.In this simple numbering rule, troops above the division level have their own unique numbers. This is because the division is the smallest combat group in the Ming army.

"This method is very convenient for internal writing. It is probably made by a staff member of the Korean Division who wanted to be lazy." You Shiwei has long been displeased with the obvious geographical characteristics of the Shaanxi Division and the Korean Division. , Xuanzhen and other old military towns.Now that the old-style military towns have finally been completely incorporated, the new army pays great attention to moving around in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, but how does this give the soldiers a sense of belonging?

Of course, there is also the General Training Department who has the same idea as You Shiwei.So Qin Liangyu and You Shiwei together decided to go to His Majesty the Emperor Shu to re-designate the troop numbers within the entire army, and each troop was no longer named after the place where it was stationed.

Zhu Cihong agrees with this, but he has never seen the People's Liberation Army called "the first army of a certain province" on TV.

"It's possible to rearrange the numbers." Zhu Cihong said: "The key question is whether this can improve combat effectiveness. If it can't achieve a real increase in combat effectiveness, this kind of restructuring is unnecessary and a waste of time and energy. Even if it is necessary If you want to do it, you can do it after the world is peaceful."

You Shiwei was speechless.No one dared to say for sure that changing the number of troops would make them more capable of fighting. Moreover, the troops of the Northern Expedition Army were still fighting continuously. If the staff's energy was distracted by these things, it might lead to the defeat of the battle.

"But this idea is really interesting." Zhu Cihong eased the atmosphere, seeing that You Shiwei's hair was completely white, not to mention Qin Liangyu, he should cherish these veterans.He said: "It seems that the North Korean division is a bit idle, it is better to hand over Liaoning to them."

You Shiwei was quite surprised: "Your Majesty means to mobilize the Second Guards Army to participate in the Northern Expedition?"

"Of course. According to the original plan, it's time to enter the third stage." Zhu Cihong said.

The Mongols' will to resist was much weaker than what Ming had first expected. After losing their prestigious leader, the vast majority of Mongols chose to surrender to Ming, accept the canonization of Ming, and abide by the laws of Ming.Pay national taxes.

However, because of the disorganized nature of the Mongolian tribes, many tribes were double-faced, asking for internal attachment, and plundering on horseback at the same time, destroying the logistics of the Ming army. This is the reason why the Monan pacification campaign lasted for two years.

Today, the Mongols in the Monan area are either executed for rebellion or exiled for crimes, and the herdsmen who remain in place to graze are all good people who have been screened out several times, basically meeting the requirements of being a base for marching.According to the third stage layout.Now it's time for the soldiers to point directly at Mobei, capture Urge, and complete the great cause of sealing wolves and living in Xuxu.

"If the Second Guards Army can march north from the eastern front, it will be good news for the First Cavalry Army and the First Shaanxi Army, and their combat pressure will be greatly reduced." You Shiwei said.

Judging from the current feedback from various intelligence departments such as Jinyiwei, Zhifang Division, and Military Intelligence Division, the possibility of a large-scale battle in Mobei is quite high.

Because of the defeat of Lin Dan Khan in Monan, the Mongols were torn apart like loose sand, and later because of Ming's counterattack against the Qing army.Hurt.

However, Mobei Mongolia is relatively united. The three major tribes of Khalkha Mongolia: Zasaktu, Tuxietu, and Chechnya have not experienced any obvious civil strife.And they went to Shenyang together during the reign of Chongzhen, surrendered to Hou Jin, and paid "nine white tributes"-one white camel and eight white horses as tribute every year.

Faced with the disintegration of the sixteen tribes in Monan, the three tribes of Khalkha did not march south to help their Mongolian compatriots—they, like Ming, did not have a clear concept of nationality.But this instead means that they will not surrender easily unless the Ming army shows a force that they cannot resist.

"Khalka Mongolia has little contact with our dynasty. It may be more difficult to rule like Monan. Its population is around 20, and there are about [-] strong men who can fight, and our army has three armies and [-] troops to attack Mobei, there should be a slight chance of winning." You Shiwei continued.

Wars are not just about outnumbering people.Morale, popular support, geography, weather... all have an impact.

"The Second Guards Army will advance to Mobei at least after June." Zhu Cilang said, "The offensive will be launched in August. Before that, we will complete the alternate work of retiring and recruiting this year."

It is the integrity of the court to retire soldiers on time.Although the exaggeration in the military camp is very strong, there is no guarantee that everyone is willing to eat food and fight.Allowing soldiers to retire on time is just to give hope to those who do not want to fight, and let them see that as long as they train hard and fight the enemy bravely, they can still return to their hometown to enjoy happiness.

And from another perspective, these retired soldiers will not return to their hometowns in the mainland immediately.Before they retire, they will receive many job invitations, or they will be transferred to the local government office to serve as the police, or to the inspection department, or they will be transferred to recruit soldiers and enter the logistics department.

For those who have a deep affection for the army and are willing to honor their ancestors with military exploits, they will voluntarily turn into recruits before the expiration of their service and continue to stay in the combat troops.They are often granted the title of non-commissioned officer, and even recommended to enter the Armed Forces University, and continue to serve as officers after graduation.

"With a battle of 10 people, the logistical pressure has reached its limit, right? A lot of words," Zhu Cihong said with concern.

You Shiwei said earnestly: "I don't know much about this, Your Majesty should ask about Li Changling."

"Li Du asked to retire a few days ago, does You Du know about this? It's a lot of words," Zhu Cihong asked.

"I have heard a little bit about it."

"However, in terms of logistics, no one can take on Li Du's burden, so I didn't allow it." Zhu Cihong said helplessly: "You Du must be vigilant about this matter. If You Du doesn't give me a candidate in the future, I won't let you go." You go."

You Shiwei smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, our Army Staff Headquarters is full of talents. All the chiefs of staff of the main forces can take on important responsibilities."

"Then let them also do a good job in the construction of the reserve echelon, otherwise they will not be able to get promoted."

The monarch and his ministers smiled knowingly, and they became more confident in the military development of Ming Dynasty.

The person in charge of the government is undoubtedly most worried about the death of the government.

Zhu Cihong worried countless times that once he became popular, his descendants would abolish the policies he made and let Ming return to the old road again.Fortunately, my health is getting better and better, various systems are on track, and new interest groups have gradually formed, and it is no longer realistic to completely abolish them.

After the battle of Mobei, there should be two critical junctures for Ming Dynasty's national fortune in the next 500 years: contact with the Russians;

After You Shiwei came out of the Wuying Hall, he was surprised to see Wang Chengen standing outside the door.As a confidant of the emperor, Wang Chengen may not serve in the palace because of shifts, but since there is no rest, why not go in?Although You Shiwei was a little puzzled, he didn't stop on his feet and passed Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen waited for You Shiwei to leave before he went in and reported: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here to invite you."

Zhu Cihong knew that his father usually would not send people to the Hall of Martial Arts to look for him, no matter how big the matter was, he would just let people wait in the Zhongcui Palace.He finished the work at hand, quickly stepped out of the Hall of Martial Arts, boarded the open carriage specially used for the palace, and rushed to Qianqing Palace.

After entering Qianqing Palace, Zhu Cihong noticed that everyone was smiling, as if there was something good going on.

"My lord! The third master will laugh!" The female officer beside Duan said to Zhu Cihong excitedly.

"Oh, that's it." Zhu Cihong walked into the main hall of Qianqing Palace with a calm face, and saw Zhou Hou hugging the three-month-old Brother Shun with a smile on his face.

The third prince already had a tuba, and he was named Zhu Heyuan according to the rules. He was laughing in his grandmother's arms at the moment, and from time to time he wanted to reach out to grab the glittering and swaying golden hair ornament on his grandmother's head.

"Father." Zhu Cihong walked to Chongzhen's side and bowed in salute.

"Look, your son will laugh." Chongzhen said excitedly.

Zhu Cihong looked at it, a little puzzled: Aren't children always laughing at this time?Jia Ge will be ready in two months.

"I see, since the crown prince has been decided, you also have to consider the matter of becoming kings, Brother Jia and Brother Shun." Chongzhen said: "You can wait until you are ten years old to be canonized, but you have to think about it in advance."

Zhu Cihong remained silent.

Seeing that his son was silent, Chongzhen was about to persuade him again, when Zhu Cihong said: "Father, have any clan relatives asked for succession?"

Chongzhen was pointed out by Zhu Cihong, and he hesitated: "I only talk about your son and my grandson's canonization, and I have not asked about other clan affairs for a long time."

Zhu Cihong sighed.He has always wanted to formulate a system of meritocracy, and even has a draft, but neither the inner palace nor the cabinet approve of this cold approach.They think that people can not be granted the country and good land, but the title must always be given. This is the rule set by the Taizu, and it is also the cornerstone of national ethics.

"If you become a noble, you have to be decent when you come and go. If you don't have the ability to support yourself, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Emperor Gaozu?" Zhu Cihong said cautiously.

Chongzhen also sighed: "If you really have no talent, you can simply seal it to a remote place, out of sight and out of mind."

Zhu Cihong smiled wryly and said: "Father, the son just prevents mediocre people from taking title, but Father's method is to put people to death."

Embarrassed for a moment, Chongzhen turned around and continued teasing his little grandson, avoiding the question.

However, Zhu Cihong knew that this matter was not over yet, and those clan children who were waiting to be sealed off would go to King Jin to cry from time to time, or send some blood books in.This is a "grinding" skill. When the court is really impatient, he can simply give him a title, and he can aggressively ask for shares, land, and even ask for non-cents under the banner of the royal family. fiscal.

——Since you want to grind it down, don't blame me for cutting the mess quickly.

Zhu Cihong also felt a surge of vigor in his heart, and secretly decided to extend the compulsory service order to his clan members.
