Liu Chengzong opened up territory according to the map and appointed officials and generals in Lanzhou City.
The Marshal's Mansion established the Monan Governor's Mansion, with its headquarters in Guihua City, and granted Yang Qi, a general of the Ming Army, Guyuan's chief military officer, the post of Governor of the Monan Governor's Mansion, making him one of the highest-ranking officials in the Marshal's Mansion.
Later, he served as the governor of the Monan Governor's Office as Bohuitu of Chahar County. Wang Cheng'en, the former chief military officer of Lintao of the Ming Dynasty, and He Huchen, the chief military officer of Ningxia, respectively served as the governor of Monan.
At the same time, four military towns were established in Monan, with He Huchen as the chief military officer of Shuofang Town, Wang Chengen as the chief military officer of Wuyuan Town, Yang Qi as the chief military officer of Yunzhong Town, and Chahar Bohutu as the general commander of Yanmen Town.
Soldier.
Everyone is happy, except Tututaiji who came back from Gansu.
To be honest, as a clan member of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Qututaiji had been very happy before accepting this appointment from Liu Chengzong.
Even if Zhang Tianlin robbed his horse during the Battle of Gansu and caused some unpleasantness, he actually had no more complaints except that he thought Zhang Tianlin was dishonest and did not treat him as one of his own. The money and horses were nothing more than mere possessions.<
/p>
What's more, in the end, Liu Chengzong cut half of Zhang Tianlin's military exploits and gave it to Nututaiji. In fact, it didn't matter to Nuttu whether he divided it or not. To put it more hypocritically, what Nututaiji wanted was Liu Chengzong's attitude. p>
What kind of person wants the attitude of others? For those who are unable, unwilling, or unable to realize their personal value, their value lies in the attitude of others.
Zhang Tianlin does not need attitude. All Zhang Tianlin wants is value. He wants to realize his own value. He will do whatever it takes to obtain armaments and beat people on the battlefield to be victorious. This is how he realizes his value.
Cantu has no way to realize his personal value. As a member of the Beiyuan clan, his background does not support him in realizing his personal value. As a person who has subjugated his country, his spiritual world is void. Without respect, he has nothing.
But on the other hand, Qututaiji didn't really care that he had nothing. He had already looked away. Maowusuhai and Wulianghai were once his brother's. His brother was rich all over the world, so it was better to just say it was gone.
.
Therefore, happiness is the most important thing when people live.
A happy day is a day.
He is not his brother Lin Dan Khan who is dedicated to realizing the great rejuvenation of the Yuan Empire. He receives a salary from the Marshal's Mansion. From Dulan Mountain to Golmud, it is the pasture land of the Chahar Camp, enough to raise horses and sheep.
I still have seven or eight hundred elite cavalry under me. If I have to go to war, I can go with him. If I don’t have to go to war, I can go back to Golmud. I can lead the old and young to worship the ancestors, and visit relatives and friends. It’s a grand occasion. There’s nothing else to do in this day.
Are you satisfied?
What the hell do you want to be the chief military officer of Yanmen Town?
Furthermore, even if his level of Sinology education is considered illiterate compared to Yang Qi, Wang Chengen and others, it can be seen that the Marshal's Mansion, the chief military officer of the border town, is much lower than the Ming Dynasty's nine-border chief military officer.
.
In fact, in comparison, only Yang Qi, the governor of Monan, is like the chief military officer of the nine sides, and the remaining three of them are basically large generals.
Because the Ming Dynasty's seal-posting generals were not controlled by the governor, but they were obviously controlled by Yang Qi.
Another point is that the town names chosen by Liu Chengzong are all very nice, but Guantutaiji is a living map of Jiubian. He has personally walked from Shanhaiguan to Jiayuguan, and he knows the topography by heart, so he can choose the name again.
It sounds good, he also knows where it is.
Shuofang, Wuyuan, is actually Ordos Ten Thousand Houses, Ordos is familiar, south of the Yellow River and north of the border wall.
The Great Wall forms a concave inverted triangle here. The two high points are Helan Mountain in Ningxia Town and Hequ County in Yulin, which separate the flat Ordos Plateau from the thousands of ravines in northern Shaanxi.
The generalissimo was holding a map here to open up new territories. Guitu Taiji, who had wandered around in those places, was filled with a wry smile, because on the one hand he knew very well that as long as the mighty army prepared by Liu Chengzong was not followed by Huang Taiji
At the beginning of the film, it was no problem to dominate Monan.
They can definitely control these four towns, because in Ordos, the only thing that can compete with them for territory is the desert.
The terrain of Ordos is the reverse shape of the character '合'. The reverse human shape at the bottom is the side wall of the Ming Dynasty. In this era, there was a huge T-shaped desert, with the south bank of the Yellow River as its horizontal axis, and the vertical one running through the entire
Ordos Plateau.
There is no forest on that land, and there are only a few seasonal small rivers for nomadic herding. Compared with it, Golmud is a good place for nomadic herding. At least there are forests and rivers, especially in northern Shaanxi where the tributaries of the Yellow River run through.
Paradise on earth.
The poor and small Yan'an Prefecture had a population of 600,000 conservatively estimated even during the Chongzhen period, not counting the Yulin frontier troops who were not engaged in production, and the area of 10,000 households in Ordos was four to five times the size of Yan'an Prefecture.<
/p>
Even in the best of times, that is, when Anda Khan developed Fengzhoutan, the Ordos Plateau was not developed. The land as large as northern Shaanxi plus Guanzhong only had 30,000 strings.
Therefore, the biggest problem that the three towns of Shuofang, Wuyuan and Yunzhong had to solve in the past was not war, but survival.
Wuyuan Town is under the greatest pressure here, because after looking at the map drawn by Liu Chengzong, Tututaiji was very sure that the entire Wuyuan Town was transferred to the desert by Marshal Liu, and not even rabbits could be hunted there. p>
He Huchen's Shuofang Town has relatively better conditions, with grazing possible, rabbits to hunt, and it's next to Ningxia, so it will be easier to find a solution.
The one with the best conditions is Yunzhong Town, which is not in Ordos. Yang Qi's territory is actually the core area of the Tumut Department and the front line of the Hetao. It is a very good place.
Putting these three places together, short-term survival is not a big problem in the eyes of Yang Qi, He Huchen, and Wang Chengen, so they are very happy.
Guitutaiji is different. Yanmen Town is the largest town designated by Liu Chengzong. A place as big as Ordos was divided into two towns, and Yanmen Town is about the same size as Ordos.
To the east of Guihua City, it used to be the territory of Chahar. It is a good place for nomadic people. Not only can you nomadically, but you can also farm. It is so good that you don’t need to consider the issue of survival at all.
Logically speaking, Guitu Taiji should be happy, but in fact this is what makes him most unhappy.
The various Mongolian tribes stationed there as pastors today, such as Kalaqin, Naiman, and Aohan, are all his enemies. They used to be subordinates of the Chahar tribe.
When internal disputes continued and foreign enemies took advantage of the situation, the Mongolian tribes attacked their emperor under the command of the Jurchen Huang Taiji. In the battle of Zhaocheng, they presented a great gift to Houjin, which "caused Lin Dan Khan to lose 40,000 troops".
He deeply hated those Mongolian nobles, not because they surrendered or rebelled. Surrendering was a helpless act to save one's life when there was nothing that could be done. Rebellion was also common in the history of the Northern Yuan Dynasty when the political power was unstable.
This move is not glorious, but it is not shameful either.
But they reported the military intelligence of the Khan court to Hou Jin when they did not surrender, attacked the Khan court while Lin Dan Khan was fighting the Ming Dynasty, and attacked their own emperor under the command of Huang Taiji - very shameful.
The hatred of the country and the family, Liu Chengzong's appointment as the chief military officer of Zhiyanmen Town undoubtedly cast an artificial sense of fate on Guitu Taiji.
Under this kind of mission, even though Qututaiji was unwilling to return to Monan to fight with his roommates, he was forced to impatiently send troops.
Fang Zhenghua, who was temporarily living in Lanzhou, was cautious and asked Jinyi Fanzi to observe the military mobilizations taking place in Lanzhou and inquire about them all, whether they were present or not.
The bandits put on makeup and changed their appearance, and ran around in Lanzhou. The mission was completed smoothly. The personnel arrangements for sending out troops, the specific time, and where the various soldiers and generals were sent out were clearer than some middle and low-level officers in the Marshal's Mansion.
.
Several times, the fans secretly gathered together and complained to each other about the lax management of the Marshal's Mansion. Apart from the inability to enter the military camp, the city of Lanzhou was like a sieve inside and outside, and there was no news that they could not find out.
Correspondingly, Liu Chengzong’s Yulinqi also knew very well what the Jinyi fanzi talked about, what they ate, and what they fucked every day, because behind each fanzi there was their own anti-smuggling force.
Liu Chengzong had no intention of hiding such a big thing from sending troops to Fang Zhenghua. Who would have thought that before he sent someone to inform him, he had already heard from Yu Linqi that Jinyi gangsters were running rampant in Lanzhou City, so he simply didn't notify him.
Let him find out for himself.
Liu Chengzong wanted to see what these people could find out. After they summarized the information they found out, they would know that he was also on the Marshal's Mansion's troop list, and what kind of expression he would have on his face. p>
Smuggling green salt is private, and smuggling information is also private. In our Marshal's Mansion, anything with the word "private" is a serious crime, and it is all under the control of the anti-smuggling force of Xining Prefecture. A sentence of exile is not excessive.
In fact, as the most comfortable branch of the marshal's office, anti-smuggling soldiers are not easy. Although they work harder and get more rewards, the most powerful soldiers have the opportunity to become generals. The anti-smuggling soldiers will end up being a squad leader in charge of ten people.
It's not that I can't go up, but I don't want to go up. It's too easy to die if I go up any further.
The penalties for smuggling in the Marshal's Office are divided into four levels, namely, exile, prison, hard labor, and beheading.
Although the law of the Marshal's Office stipulates that the four levels of punishment for smuggling are from low to high, sometimes the regulations are one thing and the execution is another.
After all, you have to take care of the food.
Xining Mansion is not willing to let criminals go to jail. Mr. Liu, who came out of the drought, is very stingy about the government's grain inventory. He is panicked when he sees that the warehouse is half a foot short. Is he giving food to prisoners, or is he a smuggler who ruins people's money? Go to hell!
The army was not willing to accept prisoners as conscripts. In the area from Hehuang to Golmud, the original Han and Mongolian tribes were counted as a full strike of 300,000 people. Their gender, age, physical condition and intelligence meant that there were less than 300,000 people suitable to be soldiers. Fifty thousand.
The law on smuggling into the army was created by Liu Chengzong at that time. Later, he was busy fighting the war and did not bother to change it.
However, after the Ming Dynasty sent Huoluochi, Huoluochi sent off Oirat, and Oirat sent Chahar, the situation of redundant troops in the Marshal's Mansion was much more serious than that in the Song Dynasty. Counting all men, women, old and young, from Hehuang to Golmud, Two of the three come from military families.
In the entire Marshal's Mansion, Liu Chengyun was the only one who wanted to establish a sound conscription mechanism in Hehuang. The others, including Liu Xiangyu, Liu Chengzong, Yang Dingrui, Cao Yao and others, from top to bottom, were all thinking about how to get the army to control the army. Kick such an outstanding person out.
Still serving as a soldier?
A pure waste of food!
And those generals and officials were unwilling to be regarded as such evildoers, so when the captain of the anti-smuggling army brought the smugglers to court, the county magistrate would often ask them for their suggestions on sentencing.
What can the squad leader suggest? If you suggest being exiled to the army, the general will accept it; if you suggest imprisonment, the county magistrate will nod.
Therefore, the first two sentences will basically be skipped. For those who need to be sent to the army, it is recommended to be released through education; for those who need to be jailed, if there is no other way, it is recommended to be sentenced to a slap in the face, beaten and released, and if you cannot be beaten, be detained for a few days. Release it quickly.
Anyway, whether to turn it off or not, whether to turn it off or not.
For the captain of the anti-smuggling squad, he had to do it first because the criminals were indeed smuggling, not to mention that part of the seized goods were the wages of his brothers; secondly, he did not dare to take it seriously because it would test his work ability.
With the current population distribution of the Marshal's Mansion, Mongolians and Westerners cannot do smuggling. Unless they can't walk or can't walk, the young and middle-aged people are all soldiers in the herding camp. They have their own pastures and there is no chaos. The reason for running away can be determined after checking.
And there are very few Han people in the Marshal's Mansion. There are eight out of ten men running outside. If something doesn't go their way, they can go to heaven to listen.
No one who came from Shaanxi can find Liu Chengzong; no one who is native to Hehuang does not know Liu Chengyun.
Today, someone smuggled two pieces of cloth, violated the law, and should be exiled to the army according to the law. He was thrown into the Jingou Silver Cave of Riyue Mountain to do hard labor. Tomorrow, Yang Dingrui received the news and held a hot trial in the government office to finish the trial of the team leader.
His head swooped onto the city gate tower.
Why bother?
This is the basis for the Marshal's Mansion's ability to detect smugglers to be stronger than that of the Jinyiwei, because they actually treat the smugglers under the Marshal's rule in a state of self-respect. If they are caught, they will confiscate the stolen goods, and let them go after a quarrel.
, he will commit the crime again when he returns, and he will arrest him again when he returns, focusing on a steady flow of water to repeatedly brush up the GDP.
But for outsiders, the smugglers coming from the east of Lanzhou and the anti-smuggling soldiers have no such concerns. They are very enthusiastic about inspections and are usually caught before they cross the Yellow River.
If you are caught, you will be sent directly to the army and jail. All places will be arranged on the way. The good people will go to the Nanshanbao Salt Brick Factory, the normal people will go to the Haibei Quarry, and the particularly bad ones will be taken to the Riyue Mountain Jingouyin Cave, where they will be interrogated by the county government.
It's just a process.
They have always had extraordinary enthusiasm for the people they work with other than the common people under the generalissimo's rule.
In the next few days, Fang Zhenghua lived happily in Lanzhou City. He read the information collected by the Jinyi Fanzi every day and was sometimes surprised and happy. One moment he heard that the Mongolian Corps was moving south from the north, and the other moment he heard that the Mongolian Corps was moving from the north to the south.
After coming over from Qinghai Lake, we got corrected information two days later. What came over from Qinghai Lake was a group of Mongolian armed soldiers.
At first, Fang Zhenghua was very frightened by the gathering of these troops. Later, he was ecstatic when he learned that the four general officers appointed by the Marshal's Mansion were actually three former chief army officers of the Ming Dynasty and a younger brother of the Mongolian king.
This information was enough to turn the tide of the war. When they gained a foothold in Monan, the imperial court took the right measures to instigate them to rebel. This would not only relieve the north of the border crisis, but also achieve a complete set of tricks!
With such a huge secret, the joy in Fang Zhenghua's eyes could not go away. On August 15th, the entire Lanzhou was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. The generalissimo and the soldiers and civilians had fun together. They camped outside the city to enjoy the moon cakes with the soldiers, and returned to Lanzhou.
The whole army was given pig, goat, milk, wine, and a pocket money of two coins per soldier.
By August 16th, the jubilant atmosphere evaporated in an instant, and the whole of Lanzhou became murderous again under the roar of war drums. The generalissimo held a parade on the west wall of Lanzhou and awarded Monan Governor Yang Qi the military title.
The sitting banner is one foot six feet high and one foot long. The banner is made of black and green satin as the base and white silk as the edge. It is painted with Tai Chi Bagua constellations, decorated with beaded tassels on the head, pendant with five-color horn ribbons, and equipped with a long leopard tail flag.<
/p>
Under this banner, banner troops, rebels, peasant troops, Han soldiers, Fan soldiers, Mongolian soldiers, and flags symbolizing each camp stood in great numbers.
Fang Zhenghua, who was accompanying him at the top of the city, was also very happy. After all, in his eyes, the generals of the Marshal's Mansion were hoping to use this parade to shock the court, and in his eyes, this parade was about the future.
The advance parade of the border troops in Monan Town of the Ming Dynasty...sooner or later they will be instigated to rebel, he is just checking in advance for the emperor.
Unexpectedly, just as the parade was about to end, Liu Cheng called him, and then a Yulin rider came forward holding a armor and a stomach robe, and a letter of appointment was photographed in his arms.
Fang Zhenghua didn't react at all. He looked at the letter of appointment again and again with a bit of sluggishness. It was true that the name on it was his, but the official position above was not the eunuch Bingbi, the ceremonial supervisor, but the Governor's Mansion of Monan, the Grand Marshal's Mansion.
Supervise food and discuss matters.
"Commander, we are about to resign and return to the capital to resume our duties. What does this mean?"
"You already know this army very well, so I don't need to introduce anything more to you. There's no rush to go back to Beijing, not to mention it's a convenient way. Going back from Zhangjiakou is much closer than going back from Qinghai, and the road is safer -
—Everything should be put to its best use, and people should be put to their best use."
Liu Shizixin said that at this juncture, he could only be trusted by Hong Chengchou who was squatting in Ningxia. Yang Qi's army wanted to reach Monan safely through Helan Mountain. How could they do it without an angel in their pocket?
"Don't worry, I don't need you to do anything. Just stay in the army and Commander Yang will send you to Zhangjiakou... Commander Yang, you won't let the Food Supervisor and the Councilor go hungry, right?"
As soon as Liu Chengzong finished speaking, Yang Qi, who was standing aside, quickly reached out and took Fang Zhenghua's official seal from the lacquer plate holding the clothes, armor and stomach, put it into his arms, and immediately clasped his fists and said: "Don't worry, Commander, I will believe it.
Along the way, the border towns will ensure that Eunuch Fang has food and drink every time!"
