Chapter 122: The founding of the country and the title of marquis, missed
When things can't get any worse, there may be an opportunity for a turnaround - this is what Wang Yongzhen originally thought.
Wang Yongzhen, like his brother Wang Yongqiang, comes from a family of Yansui border army generals. Their families have been fighting against the Tatars outside the Pass for generations. In the past, they fought against the Tumut Mongols entrenched in the Hetao, and later also fought against
The Ordos tribe and the Eight Banners soldiers fought against each other. Wang Yongzhen despised the enemies outside these border walls and above the Hetao as Tao prisoners.
Not only did he think this way, there were many other veterans of the Qin Army under Dong Xueli's men. Most of them did not have a deep hatred for the Shun Army, because the Shaanbei Yuan Cong in the Dashun Army had more soldiers around them.
In fact, many of the border residents were related to the Qin army officers and soldiers. On the contrary, they hated the Manchus and Wu Sangui who killed all the Qin army's elite at the Huailai banquet.
Although it is said that the Guan Ning Army, which had a bloody feud with the Manchus for decades, finally fell to the side of the Qing army. However, the current situation in Shaanxi has not developed into the urgent situation faced by the Guan Ning Army.
Dashun can still be the backing of the Qin army. From Li Guo, the governor of the country, to Nanyang Gong Luo Rucai, who is in charge of Guanzhong, and even Yuan Zongdi, who is now guarding Yansui, they are all rapidly changing Dashun's past policies. For these Qin
The old military department gave them a more powerful and gentle approach, and based on the development of the current situation, they granted the old generals of the Qin Army a more appropriate status.
Although such an approach was not fundamentally different from the Qing army's method of using high-ranking officials to show off their nobility, it did play a certain role in stabilizing the basic base of the northwest for the Dashun Army.
Since Wang Yongzhen's brother Wang Yongqiang enjoyed a stable position in the Dashun Army and had a grudge against Wu Sangui's men, it was reasonable for Wang Yongzhen to suddenly attack and join forces with his colleagues to kill the traitor Dong Xueli.
Something happened.
but.
Wang Yongzhen thought that after they suddenly killed Dong Xueli, they would be able to control the troops quickly by taking advantage of the indignation of everyone in the Qin soldiers, and even have a chance to take back Ningxia while Chen Zhilong was unprepared.
However, after a brief period of confusion, Dong Xueli's subordinates were quickly led by several other Dong family confidants, leading the servants, subordinates and Wang Yongzhen to attack each other in the camp.
The two armies fighting were all brothers and sisters from yesterday, and everyone was very familiar with each other. In an instant, the former voices and smiles were replaced by murderous carnage.
Although Wang Yongzhen had certain advantages, the remnants of Dong Xueli's confidants and direct family members still gathered a considerable number of troops to break through the camp wall and rush into Longzhou City. They defended the city wall in an attempt to wait for the Qing army and the Mongolian outer vassal troops to come to rescue the siege.
Wang Yongzhen had already informed Yu Shunjun through his elder brother Wang Yongqiang that he had killed Dong Xueli and seized his military power. At this time, the situation had undergone major changes, and he was worried that he would miss the opportunity to make important military exploits in the Dashun Dynasty.
, they immediately divided the remaining soldiers of Huamachi in Ningxia into several battalions, dug trenches and rushed forward, hoping to break through Longzhou City immediately. However, in the haste of using troops, they were counterattacked by the remaining Dong troops who were defending the city wall, and were bombarded by guns and artillery.
There were many casualties.
"There are so many traitors and scum in the Qin army!"
When Wang Yongzhen thought that because he was too optimistic, the plan he and his elder brother planned fell short. He and Wang Yongqiang had planned to return to Ningxia to attack Ningxia immediately after seizing Dong Xueli's military power. Now it seems that the plan has completely failed, and Ningxia has also failed.
You may start to take precautions.
Another Qin army officer who conspired with Wang Yongzhen to attack Dong Xueli sighed:
"The people hiding in Longzhou City... In addition to Dong Gou's cronies, there are also many people who were raided by the Shun army because their fields were raided. Maybe they feel unfair because of this, right?"
Wang Yongzhen banged the table and cursed: "Bullshit! What kind of land! It's not the land occupied by the Ming Dynasty Guards. That land doesn't belong to them in the first place!"
At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in terms of military establishment, guards and posts were established from the capital to the local areas. All guard posts were under the jurisdiction of the Dusi, and the Dusi was in turn subordinate to the governor's office of the five armies. When there was an incident, the generals were ordered to attack, and the guards' troops were mobilized.
, then the general will wear the seal, and all the officers and soldiers will return to the guard post.
The guards stationed their troops in farmers, combined them with the garrison, and the military households were hereditary. After a hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the country was at peace for a long time, and the garrison administration of the garrison was gradually relaxed. Most of the farmland was occupied by the internal supervision officers, and the land laws were completely ruined.
As the combat effectiveness of the garrison army declined, the camp system and the recruitment system began to be implemented in local areas and small areas. The camp gradually replaced the garrison as the main military force in wartime. After that, the garrison system, as the basic military force of the Ming Dynasty,
The military has gradually undergone changes, and the military management system and training system have also undergone great changes.
The land, population, management and functions within the guard station gradually broke away from the category of "military region". In fact, it became closer and closer to the nature of a general administrative district. However, the people within the area were still bound by the physical attachment of the guards' officers, which gave them great difficulties.
From a family of generals, border army officers usurped farmland and enslaved military households, opening the door to convenience.
After Dashun's army entered Guanzhong, after a short period of turmoil, they quickly controlled the situation in the northwest. Luo Rucai gained Li Zicheng's high trust and was able to use his outstanding status as Nanyang Gong, Northwest Economic Envoy, and Shaanxi Jiedushi to re-invent the land and begin
Taking back the Ming Dynasty garrison fields that had been usurped by the northwest generals was the main factor that led many of Dong Xueli's men to insist on becoming enemies of the Dashun Army.
Luo Rucai had made drastic changes to the original division of guard stations in the Ming Dynasty. The garrison troops were repeatedly eliminated, and most of the guard stations were merged into prefectures and counties. At the same time, a large number of guard officers were eliminated, and the garrison was changed to
According to the nationality of the people, farming is based on the people's land.
Except for a few border area health stations that still remain, the rest of the health stations are being adjusted in the direction of being completely transformed into administrative units at the state and county level.
The Dashun Army gradually abandoned the original guard system that was independent of the provincial capitals, prefectures and counties, and changed the old system. While abolishing the guard system and changing it to counties, it also suspended a large number of hereditary military positions in the guard posts, which naturally seriously violated the interests of the guards officers.
, is bound to cause a strong backlash.
Moreover, because of the unreasonable nature of the Ming Dynasty's garrison establishment, in areas where military households lived in contiguous areas, Dashun abandoned the garrison and established new prefectures and counties. But more often than not, the Ming Dynasty's garrison establishment was inherently
Prefectures and counties are intertwined, and fields and households are scattered among states and counties. Administrative divisions include one among you and one among others. The enclaves are continuous, which creates huge difficulties for unified administrative management and also makes it convenient for military officers.
Seize the land.
Regarding the latter situation, the Dashun Army adopted the method of directly dividing all the fields of guard military households scattered in various states and counties into the states and counties where they are located, thus making the administrative divisions highly unified.
During this process, it was inevitable that the land would need to be re-inspected, which would lead to a new round of conflict with those officers who illegally occupied the garrison's fields.
No matter how aggrieved Wang Yongzhen was, in the face of powerful real interests, he had to bow his head and admit that the resistance of Dong Xueli and other close confidants was so fierce that it made him feel troublesome.
The restructuring of Dashun from waste to farmland is still in progress. Even though the restructuring in some areas has been completed, a considerable part of the expropriated land has been retaken by the Dashun regime.
However, it will take time for these lands to resume production and to transform the productivity into direct military forces.
Needless to say, Dashun takes time.
Wang Yongzhen looked up at the walls of Longzhou City and thought that he needed extra time. Otherwise, after the rebellious Ningxia Jiedushi Chen Zhilong came to his senses, it would be extremely difficult for them to recapture Ningxia.
The battle dust was flying in the east. Wang Yongzhen looked extremely surprised when he saw the troops rushing towards him. He felt complicated and sighed:
"I just missed the opportunity to have a chance to become the Marquis of the Founding of the Kingdom!"
