Zhu Yihai not only wanted an army that was loyal to him, but also did not want the emergence of great eunuchs like Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian, so he took a different path and took advantage of the last Northern Expedition to build an imperial camp army.
Now that they are back with force, they will first destroy Fang Guoan, and then take the opportunity to start garrisoning the imperial camp around Shaoxing.
The intention of supervising the country's arrangement was obvious. Even Liu Mu, the former martial arts champion, saw it, but he had no reason to object. Moreover, although Zhu Yihai had annexed the Liu family and his son's men into the imperial camp, he also awarded him
The position of commander-in-chief of the Warrior Town means that he will become the general of the royal camp and the direct confidant of the supervisory country.
Such a good thing is undoubtedly to commend him for his contribution in this execution, and also to give him benefits in advance to cooperate with the reorganization.
So Liu Mu accepted the order to thank him and fully supported it.
The Liu Zhaoji brothers and other generals of the Liu tribe naturally had no objections. After becoming the imperial camp army, they would become direct descendants of the imperial court. From now on, they would not have to worry about money, food and equipment. Not only would they have the territory of Yanzhou Prefecture, but they would also have six thousand eighty-eight
His troop quota, food, pay, and benefits all came immediately.
Zhu Yihai was a little aggressive and killed Fang Guoan with his own hands. The troops in Fu'an immediately disarmed and reorganized, but the ministries in other places have now become hidden dangers.
But Zhu Yihai will not regret it. He can pardon King Tongcheng who proclaimed himself emperor, accept King Yiyang who abdicated and returned to the vassal state, spare King Jingjiang who proclaimed himself emperor and provoked a civil war and even accept the traitor and teach him loyalty.
camp, but Fang Guoan repeatedly challenged his limits.
If we don't take action at this time, the authority of the supervisory state can be maintained in the future.
Timely killing can also help deter Xiaoxiao.
Moreover, he had endured Fang Guoan for a long time and was not ready. This time, Zhu Yihai took advantage of the opportunity to return to Shao and raided Fuyang. He also struck with precision and launched a beheading battle. Apart from Fang Guoan, he actually didn't have many remaining troops.
Worrying.
This is also where his confidence lies.
If he directly announced that Fang Guoan was rebellious and sent troops to attack him, he might be in big trouble. If Fang Guoan was pressed, he would have to go to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
But now that Fang Guoan has been killed and all the direct line generals have been wiped out, the tribesmen in various places are scattered and it is difficult to do anything. Even if they want to resist, Zhu Yihai is not afraid.
Warrior Town will immediately go to Yanzhou to garrison. The remaining Yanzhou Fang Guoan troops who refuse to accept reorganization will be designated as rebels and will be directly attacked and annihilated.
The same is true here in the west of Hangzhou. The next task of Zhang Quan's flag-bearer battalion is to quickly capture the remaining troops of Fang Guoan.
He will even send Shenji, Yulin and Dinghai Division to assist in order to clear these places as quickly as possible without giving these people the space and time to cause chaos.
However, Zhu Yihai predicted that there must be some rebels from Fang Guoan's remnants, but not many. After all, rebellion also requires strength and courage. If Fang Guoan were here and had tens of thousands of troops in his hands, he might still want to intimidate the court, but Fang Guoan died.
, several generals and elites are gone again. How can these generals in various places still have the ability and courage?
Zhu Yihai intended to borrow Fang Guoan's head to announce his return to Shaoxing.
It has been more than two months since he took the throne to supervise the country. Zhu Yihai has been running around outside. What is it for? Isn't it because he can really have a say in this small court?
Where does this right to speak come from? It does not come from the title of Supervisor. In troubled times, even emperors like Chongzhen have no real right to speak, let alone officials like Hongguang and Lu Supervisor.
Especially after knowing the experiences of the near-puppet emperors such as Longwu, Shaowu, and Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty, it became increasingly impossible for him to follow the same old path.
Just like when he was in Sanwu, he had been issuing edicts to Tokyo, but few of them were actually implemented, and most of them were nonsense.
This time, instead of going to Shaoxing, he came to Fuyang first and killed Fang Guoan with his own hands. He risked a rebellion and wanted to do this. In the final analysis, it was for the sake of authority.
In troubled times, just having a name is useless, there must be something else.
Zhu Yihai believes that these other things are having more soldiers and sharper swords, and being decisive in killing. Only in this way can it be possible to truly enforce orders and prohibitions and truly command the world.
Isn't it that I have been fighting hard for nearly three months just to be able to truly stick to my word and follow my words?
Let the head of Fang Guoan, a general and an earl, let the head of this warlord who holds tens of thousands of troops and claims to command a hundred thousand troops, let Shaoxing, let eastern Zhejiang, and let everyone in the remaining half of the Ming Dynasty understand that he Zhu Yihai
What kind of prison state is this!
Everyone wants to do something negative, but they must first consider how much weight they have. Is it more important than Fang Guoan?
Supervisor Guo even dared to kill generals like Fang Guoan, and even committed suicide himself. Are they more powerful than Fang Guoan?
On the same day, Zhu Yihai entered Fang Guo to set up camp. Zhu Shengli held Fang Guoan's head, and Fang Yinglong and other five generals were reduced to the rank of guerrilla generals and followed behind.
The decree is issued.
There was some commotion in the camp, but it soon settled down.
All the officers above the commander-in-chief left the camp, and the aftermath was dealt with very quickly. Those who were retained and those who were dismissed were quickly disposed of. After the heavily armed imperial soldiers brought in boxes of money and started distributing the money, the commotion slowly disappeared.
.
From complaints and dissatisfaction, to surprise and uncertainty, it gradually turned into unexpected joy. Even after someone took the lead in shouting long live, the shouts continued one after another.
Fang Guoan was not as great as he imagined, and those soldiers were not as loyal as expected.
In fact, it's normal to think about it. They were not even that loyal to the Ming Dynasty or even the emperor. They should have run away and surrendered, so how could they be so loyal to a dead man from Fang Guoan?
If there is no imperial camp here, if Fang Guoan pays out the reward with silver, and then coerces the elite servants to rebel, they might also join in the rebellion.
But now there are all the imperial troops here, Fang Guoan's head is sitting there, the supervisor personally distributes the money, and no unscrupulous officer dares to take the lead in looking for trouble, so naturally there is harmony.
On that day in Fuyang City, Fang Guoan's more than 20,000 troops were reorganized. Most of Fang Guoan's 800 cavalry and 3,000 elite infantry were retained and scattered into the flag bearers, warriors, Yu Lin, Shen Ji, and Ding Hai.
town, and the rest selected about 3,000 people, who were also scattered and organized into various battalions for use.
The remaining 15,000 people will basically be demobilized. These people will receive money. Those whose hometowns are in the south of the Yangtze River will go back to their hometowns. Those whose hometowns are in the Tatar-occupied areas will be resettled by the imperial court.
After all, these people were all Ming soldiers, so it was impossible to drag them into mining or anything else.
Liu Mu and other departments also accepted reorganization at the same time, retained those who were retained, and dismissed those who were dismissed.
Fuyang City here was busy reorganizing, and over there Zhang Quan, Yang Boxing and others also led troops and quickly headed to Lin'an. Yu Qian and others quickly integrated the remaining troops of Fang Guoan.
One side has a sharp knife, the other has money, everyone knows how to choose.
