Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1090
After the decree was announced, everyone in the Liao Kingdom's government knew about it, and their reactions were different. The guards were all very excited. Being able to go to the battlefield to fight and make meritorious deeds is a lifelong pursuit for enterprising warriors. When the personal guards were elated, Yang Sichen, magistrate of Shanghai County, arranged for someone to tell the guards to keep a low profile and not create such a joyous atmosphere.

This is not about caring about other people's perceptions, but about the thoughts of these people in the Liao government. Yang Sichen has been working with Wang Tong for a long time, and both parties are familiar with each other, and the family members have a lot of contacts.

Through his wives and concubines, Yang Sichen naturally knew what the female relatives around Wang Tong thought. They were not happy to see Wang Tong go to war, they were really worried.

Some official news, the female family members of the Liao government also know that the 20 Japanese pirate army in North Korea is so powerful, so powerful, they also know this.

The news from several places is gathered together, no matter how you feel that this expedition is quite dangerous, why don't you worry, and it is the Chinese New Year, but your man is going to the north, and he can't return for a few months and a half. No one can bear it Well, if the guards were talking and laughing excitedly outside at this time, it would add fuel to the fire.

As Yang Sichen expected, after the decree was announced, Wang Tong sent away the imperial envoy who made the decree, and returned to the mansion, but the wives and concubines gathered together.

Wang Xia originally led Wang Zhong and Wang Lan who were just walking around the house, but was reprimanded by Han Xia loudly. Wang Xia was doted on by Han Xia, and she rarely encountered such severe treatment. At that time, she was so frightened that she cried. Yes, it was Song Chanchan who comforted her softly, and ordered the maids to take all the children out.

Wang Tong sat in the middle, looking at the expressions and attitudes of his wives and concubines, he was also a little helpless. He had received the definite news long before he received the decree. Realizing that I was excited, warriors really couldn't do without the battlefield, and a peaceful life was really boring for them.

Thinking about himself in that life, and thinking about himself in this life, Wang Tong was also a little emotional. He said excitedly, but the wives and concubines sat beside them with their heads down, and Lu Ruomei and Zhang Hongying were still there wiping their tears. This atmosphere really made Wang Tong feel awkward.

"Why are you like this, master? It's not the first year I went out to fight, and I didn't come back well that time. Don't cry, don't cry, it scared the child."

In this situation, Wang Tong didn't know what to say, so he said a few words with a dry smile. At this time, Song Chanchan would naturally not admit that she was involved in the current situation. If she said it, she might become the public enemy of the housewives. He just leaned closer to Han Xia and said a few words in a low voice.

Only then did Han Xia raise her head, and said in a low voice:

"My husband is going to North Korea. You must think about your wife and children at home. You must take care of your body and take care of yourself."

After speaking, she couldn't control her emotions, her eyes were red, her voice was crying, the emotions of the female family members in the room were all aroused, and the three who were pretending to be calm all started to sob.

"Oh, you are, you are"

Wang Tong didn't expect such a scene, he muttered a few words, but he didn't know what to say.

***************
Now that the decree has been read out, no matter how sad and reluctant the Liao government's inner house is, Wang Tong will lead the troops to fight, while others are still preparing in Songjiang, but all the memorials are sent to the capital.

His early intentions and the imperial court have already made sure that Li Rusong, the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion, led four thousand elite troops to Liao Town to prepare for the war against North Korea. It was included under Wang Tong's command and counted as the vanguard of entering the dynasty in the early stage.

Wang Tong's side is similar to everyone's expectations. The towns of the Huwei Army system are gathered together, but not all of them are transferred. The regiments that were originally distributed in various places have now expanded to three regiments or even four regiments. Wang Tong's request A regiment is drawn from each place, with [-]% veterans and [-]% recruits, led by the local imperial army commander.

That is to say, the original seven regiments of the Forbidden Army were all led by the original commanders of each regiment this time, and the guerrillas of the horse army and the guerrillas of the artillery team naturally accompanied them. It was about the same size when the state was established.

However, it is impossible for Wang Tong to lead his 20 soldiers and horses to fight against the [-] Japanese pirates. In addition to the headquarters of the Forbidden Army, he also asked all the other towns except Gansu Town and Liaoning Town to send out elite soldiers. Among them, Datong will send an additional [-] cavalry, led by the deputy general Ma, and Jizhen will send an additional [-] infantry, led by the deputy general of Jizhen Yang Jin. Recruit volunteers and strong people.

There are almost 11 troops in each team of the Forbidden Army, horses, infantry, firearms, and supplies. The total number of soldiers and horses sent by each border town is almost [-]. If you count the soldiers and horses of the three towns in Liaoning, this is also an army of about [-], which can be called It can be regarded as the largest scale of soldiers and horses used by Ming Dynasty in these years.

However, Wang Tong also stated in his purpose that the troops sent by the imperial army and the towns can be said to be soldiers. There are almost [-] soldiers in the three towns of Liaoning. Fighting with real swords and guns is probably impossible.

In other words, of the 11 or so army, only about [-] of them can actually fight, so it is necessary to recruit village warriors to train and supplement.

What Wang Tong said was a reality known from all over the world, and no one had any objection. Besides, Wang Tong’s memorial was accompanied by other letters from Wang Tong. The letter stated that after the reform of border towns, border The general basically keeps the cavalry in his hands, but the infantry doesn't pay much attention. It's a pity that these elite infantry give up. It is very likely that they will become a disaster in the place where they live, so they will take advantage of this opportunity to digest them in the imperial army. Under the control of the towns of the imperial army.

For this strategy, Emperor Wanli and the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet Wang Xijue both praised it as the best strategy. After all, without spending too much money and energy, they can smoothly digest the power of the local government.

In addition to the soldiers and horses on land, Wang Tong also specifically stated in the memorial that North Korea is near the sea, and the Japanese invaders came from the sea, so sailors must be used.

This time, Wang Tong directly ordered the general, and Chen Lin, the admiral of the Guangdong Navy, became a candidate. There was no objection to this candidate, because Chen Lin was recognized as No.1 in the navy, and he had always proposed. Set up a position for Chen Lin to be in charge of the navy in the southeast of Ming Dynasty.

The imperial court attached great importance to Chen Lin. On the one hand, there are more and more maritime trade and transportation in Daming, and it is necessary to ensure the safety of sea routes. On the other hand, because Wang Tong is in the southeast, and Wang Tong has a large fleet, it is necessary to have Such a balance, of course, the reason for the latter cannot be brought to the table.

But up and down, the affirmation of Chen Lin was the same. Originally, some people waited for Wang Tong to select land soldiers and horses, and then went to find out Wang Tong's omissions, and then recommended Chen Lin as the commander of the navy, but they didn't expect Wang Tong has already considered this point.

There is no objection to this candidate. Wang Tong also specifically stated in the memorial that now Chen Lin has organized the Guangdong Navy very well and built many new ships, so this time Chen Lin will lead the Guangdong Navy to go north. First stop at the Laizhou Prefecture in Shandong, and wait until the time is right before reuniting for cooperation.

The memorial also clearly stated that most of the pirates on the sea are of the same class as the Japanese pirates, and the Japanese pirate navy is bound to be huge. In order to be safe and sure to win, civilian ships should also be recruited to fight together. The so-called civilian ships, everyone knows what ship Wang Tong is talking about The fleet, that is his own fleet, it is a tradition for the generals of the Ming Dynasty to lead private soldiers in battles, Wang Tong is willing to bring his own fleet, no one can find fault with this, and he has to praise it, heart to the court.

On land and sea, there are almost 13 horses. If you count the mobilized civilians, the number of 20 can be reached. , have become a big problem.

To the embarrassment of the court and central ministers, Wang Tong gave a strategy in the memorial. For example, the food and salaries needed for the imperial troops and local infantry transferred from various border towns will be deducted from the local needs. Because in Bianzhen today, most of the military households have turned into civilian households, the food and salaries that the imperial court needs to allocate have been greatly reduced, but this reduction is still being calculated, and this time there is no need for Bianzhen to pay for it by itself. At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the Ministry of Households directly deducted from the food and salaries allocated to the border towns, and then sent them to the imperial soldiers immediately.

As for the supply of food and grass in various places, it is contracted by local big merchants, and the imperial court allocates money, and they mobilize the transportation capacity and food and grass to set up military stations and supply them along the way. The money collected by Songjiang and Tianjin Wei was earmarked for special purposes.

Originally, people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Yuma Supervisor had been clamoring for the cost of entering the imperial army, saying that the treasury might go bankrupt in such a big battle, and there would be no money to spend elsewhere. After accounting by the people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Yumajian, if Wang Tong's suggestion is followed, the treasury's money can be saved, and the items listed by Wang Tong even have a surplus, which is really speechless.

A general, a nobleman, is actually more proficient in finance, taxation and logistics than a civil servant. The parties feel that they have nothing to say, but the onlookers find it ridiculous, and some people think about it.
