"Your Majesty, if the two countries are at war, I will not kill the envoy..."
Before Gu Wenguang finished speaking, Lao Zhu snorted disdainfully, "Jianlu, I was originally a concubine of the barbarian tribe outside the Ming Dynasty, but today I dare to come and be arrogant, insert bids and sell my head, and seek death."
Lao Zhu didn't have anything good to say about this soft-headed elder, so he ignored him. Instead, he took Wang Chuangzi, a brave guard general, and said, "I have decided to rebuild the Yongwei camp. I now grant you the title of guerrilla general and command the Yongwei camp."
First Guard Battalion!"
Wang Chuangzi was a little stunned.
"What, you don't want to?"
"I don't dare to do my humble job..."
"Then you still don't accept the order!" Lao Zhu patted Wang Xiang's shoulder. This guy has a leopard head and ringed eyes. He is as tall and strong as Zhang Fei. His performance just now when he led the veterans of the Yongwei Battalion to fight against the Tatar Bagara
Very good, both brave and daring to fight, and also cooperate with each other tacitly. This kind of person is exactly what he needs most nowadays.
Guerrilla generals have no rank, and are dispatched just like general military officers. However, by the time of the Ming Dynasty, the original guard system had actually completely collapsed, and was replaced by the camp system. The central five-army governor's office and the local
Military positions such as the Dusi Guards Station have actually become a kind of military attaché rank, replaced by a set of military positions such as General Soldier, Deputy General, Staff General, Guerrilla, Dusi, Guards, Qian Commander, and General Commander.
In the Yongwei camp, Wang Xiang's highest position was Chief Qian, in charge of a battalion of several hundred people. The guerrilla general was several levels higher than General Qian. In the past at Jiubian Military Town, the guerrilla general commanded a battalion of guerrillas, and his rank was
A general will command a border army battalion of 3,000 guerrillas. The guerrillas and guerrillas are mainly responsible for defense and support, which is equivalent to a mobile force of the border army.
The governors, governors, and governors of the Ming Dynasty generally had a Biao battalion directly under their command, and the commanders of the Biao battalion were mostly guerrilla generals.
The official position awarded by Lao Zhu was quite carefully considered. The rank of the guerrilla general was not low, but he did not say that he would reach the top in one step. This could not only express rewards and win over, but also leave room for leeway.
"I accept the order from my humble position. Thank you for your promotion!" Wang Xiang hesitated in his heart. The main reason was that King Lu was just a close vassal. The Ming Dynasty had always had more restrictions on clan vassals. Normally, King Lu did not have the slightest power to interfere with military power, let alone
Don't talk about rebuilding the Yongwei camp and appointing a guerrilla general.
In the ninth year of Chongzhen's reign, Jianlu invaded the stronghold and approached Beijing. Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang Dynasty in Nanyang, petitioned to recruit troops for King Qin, but Chongzhen ordered not to do so. Later, King Tang still ignored the edict and recruited an army for King Qin to go north, but in the end Chongzhen
However, he still ordered him to return halfway, and later even deposed him as a commoner and imprisoned him under the high wall of Fengyang on the grounds that the vassal king did not control the troops and sent troops without permission.
Although King Lu had an envoy commanded by King Lu and a bodyguard of the palace, since Zhu Di set up his troops to serve the king, the palace guards have been basically cut down.
"The first battalion of Yongwei has a tentative establishment of 3,000 people. It has two divisions on the left and the center plus the central army. Each division on the left and right has two divisions on the left and right. Each division has three bureaus, three flags per bureau, three teams per flag, and ten teams per team.
Two people.”
"You can select and recommend me from among the warriors just now, including the thousand generals, division generals, and hundred commanders, flag commanders, team commanders, etc. of each department."
Lao Zhu patted Wang Xiang on the shoulder, "I just found out today that you are the righteous son of Jingguo, and a fierce general under his command. I was wronged to serve as a guard of the palace for hundreds of households."
Standing there, Wang Xiang couldn't help but get excited.
King Lu not only promoted him to the rank of guerrilla general, but also asked him to rebuild the Yongwei camp. He also gave him the power to appoint officers at all levels in the Yongwei camp. This was a lot of trust. At first, he felt that King Lu had no right to appoint officers or build military units.
The army, I can’t care about that for the moment. The Ming Dynasty doesn’t even have an emperor anymore.
The Flag Team of the Battalion Headquarters is a new army organization that was reorganized and trained by Qi Jiguang after he went north to Ji Town and reorganized and trained the border troops. It is a multi-arms combined force and is very elite.
At that time, Qi Jiguang was promoted to the northern border town only after he had made great achievements in pacifying the Japanese in the southeast.
Qi Jiguang served as Ning Shaotai's general.
When King Lu wanted to rebuild the Yongwei Camp, it was reasonable to use Qi Jiguang's Qi Jiajun establishment. After all, the backbone of the Qi Jiajun came from eastern Zhejiang.
"Liu Chao."
"Your Highness."
"Bring me another five hundred taels of silver, no, bring me a thousand taels of silver. I will give these loyal and courageous warriors a good reward."
Although King Lu lived in Taizhou, he was still relatively wealthy because he married the daughter of a powerful local like Zhang from Ningbo. One thousand taels of silver was quickly obtained from his residence.
They are all fifty liang ingots of large gold ingots, of the finest gold and silver, of good color and appearance.
A total of twenty large silver ingots were placed on the steps of the palace.
A pile of silver ingots,
Next to it, a pile of Tatar heads.
There was also a worthless traitor named Dai Guangda, the prefect of Taizhou, who was thrown aside and left unattended.
The Prime Minister declined a few times, but Lao Zhu refused, so he happily thanked him and accepted the reward.
Lao Zhu personally distributed rewards to the team members.
One thousand taels of silver. Twenty veterans of the Brave Guard Battalion came up as representatives to receive the reward. Adding the previous five hundred taels, the total was one thousand five hundred taels of silver. There were a few hundred people who participated in the battle today and were beheaded.
Those who do great work will definitely be rewarded heavily, those who help from the side can also get a small reward, and others who shoot guns and arrows from a distance can also get a share of the reward. Everyone has a share.
This is the last time I can get two or three taels. Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, two or three taels of silver were still quite valuable. Even during the severe drought years in the Shaanxi-Gansu region, one stone of rice was only four taels of silver. Usually, it was only four taels.
One tael of silver and one stone, in the prosperous areas south of the Yangtze River, often only cost five taels of silver and one stone of rice.
At this time, the closer to the end of the dynasty, the stronger the purchasing power of silver became. One thousand copper coins was only worth a few cents of four cents of silver.
With a smile on his face, Lao Zhu looked at these brave veterans who were still covered in blood and thanked him for receiving the money. When I read the history of the Ming Dynasty, I always felt that the warriors in the late Ming Dynasty were domineering and the soldiers were like bandits, but now I feel that these people are very cute.
At least now, these people are his most basic protection.
This group of veterans who had just laid down their lives for him were more reliable and safe than the title of King of Lu.
As everyone has said, real power does not come from the top down, but from the bottom up.
Although there are hidden dangers in giving money, if you want the horse to run, you must first let the horse eat enough, especially in this special period.
Since time travel, Lao Zhu has not stopped for a moment and has done several major things. First, he refused to continue fleeing south and decided to stay and fight against the Qing Dynasty. Second, he faced the arrogant Qing envoys and ordered them to be chopped down without politeness. The third was to attack the king.
Winning over these tough soldiers headed by the Prime Minister.
Here, ingots of large gold ingots are handed out, in exchange for the gratitude of each and every veteran of the brave defense.
Especially the Prime Minister, who was already very loyal and stood in front of Lao Zhu with his sword in hand, like the most loyal guard.
It was lively and noisy here, and there had been a lot of noise there. Dai Guangda led the Qing envoys to come, and he was accompanied by a group of officials and gentry who were the capitulationists and the leading party, and there were also many melon-eating people who heard the news and came to see the excitement.
Who would have thought that today we would really see a great deal of excitement and eat a lot of melons. No one would have thought that in this stormy city, King Lu, who had only been in Taiwan for more than half a year, not only did not escape, but also refused to surrender. Not only did he refuse to surrender, he also directly surrendered.
The palace guard chopped off the head of the Qing envoy.
The piles of real Tatar heads with money tails were arranged in a pile, forming a sharp contrast with the silver ingots.
On the other side, Magistrate Dai's head, which was covered in dust and still staring at death, shocked countless people, especially those who surrendered.
Some people's legs were trembling, some were looking left and right, trying to find a chance to escape, and some were rolling their eyes, thinking about whether to take advantage of the situation...
Of course, there were also many traders and lackeys who were watching the excitement and were not afraid of big troubles. They let out bursts of exclamation and even clapped their hands and shouted. They, the lowest class of people, felt particularly comfortable today.
It was really a pleasure for King Lu to kill the Tatars.
Those guards are so brave!
The big papaya died well!
"Your Majesty, a thousand years old!"
"Long live the Ming Dynasty!"
Amidst the roaring shouts, there was even an unkempt beggar holding a dog-beating stick and excitedly shouted the slogan "Long live King Lu".
"Long live King Lu!"
"Long live!"
Lao Zhu stood on the steps, indifferent to the slogan that clearly violated taboos.
The country was in danger, and the country had no owner. The Tartars invaded and occupied Beijing and wanted to be the master of the world. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong also proclaimed themselves emperors and founded their country. Could it be that he, the tenth grandson of Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was the eleventh generation King of Lu of the Ming Dynasty?
Can’t you be the emperor?
Hongguang and King Lu don't dare to fight, Zhu Yihai can give it a try!
