Before setting off, Zhu Yihai brought a pot of Shaoxing rice wine to Wang Chuangzi.
As soon as I knocked on the door, I heard Wang Chuangzi's somewhat irritable yelling and cursing from inside, "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me? Go away and leave me alone."
Zhu Yihai opened the door.
Wang Chuangzi's originally angry face froze, and he quickly changed his expression to a respectful expression, "I didn't know that His Highness was here in person, and I spoke uncontrollably. I deserve death!"
Zhu Yihai smiled and glanced around the room. The weather was hot, and Wang Chuangzi was only wearing shorts and was drinking in the room with his shirt off.
"It's so boring to drink alone. Come and have a drink with Wang Qing."
Wang Chuangzi stood there at a loss, "I have violated etiquette and deserve death."
"Sit down, where is that arrogant man who slashed the Tartar Bagara with a sword in front of Ziyang Palace in Taizhou?"
Zhu Yihai pulled Wang Chuangzi to sit down, and even untied his gown and sat down shirtless. For the first time, Wang Chuangzi saw this hideous scar on Jian Guo's body.
"Is this a true dragon haunting?"
Zhu Yihai smiled and said, "When the Tartars invaded Prince Lu's Mansion in Yanzhou, I fought to the death with the Tartars and was slashed three times. Last time I saw Zhang Mingzhen stabbed in the back alone in Shipu to serve the country with his heart and to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. I thought it was good, so I went there
Find someone to retouch these three big scars on Gu’s body.”
The big scar was like a real dragon wrapped around it. After being designed and modified by a skilled tattoo master, it turned into a majestic dragon roaring with teeth and claws.
"Come on, come on."
Zhu Yihai poured a glass of wine for each of them and drank one himself first.
"This is the Shaoxing Nuerhong copied from Xie Sanbin's family. It has been treasured for eighteen years."
After three glasses of wine, Wang Chuangzi relaxed a lot, especially when Zhu Yihai was shirtless and chatting with him, making the atmosphere very relaxed.
"I specifically asked you to stay here this time. I know that you will definitely feel a little unhappy, but you have to know that you are the first contributor to Gu Zhan Beilu's ascension to the throne. You are Gu's confidant, and you even conspired with Yuan Cong to let you stay.
Come down, it's not that Zhang Mingzhen makes Wang Zhiren look down on his old friend. On the contrary, it's that Gu thinks you are loyal, reliable, and unparalleled in bravery. This time he goes north, facing a hundred thousand troops from the north, and he doesn't know what the future will be like. This backyard is definitely
You have to be guarded by someone you can trust, who else can you be?"
As soon as he said this, the grievance Wang Chuangzi felt in his heart immediately disappeared.
"I just want to stay by your Highness's side and serve you. Your Highness has given me the kindness to know you, and I can only repay you with death. I am a rough man and can't speak..."
Although Wang Chuangzi has been in the army for many years and kills people like chickens, he still can't keep up when he has such a heart-to-heart exchange with Zhu Yihai, but he is really grateful to Zhu Yihai in his heart. This is not only the influence of the loyal thoughts of the past dynasties, but also Zhu Yihai's.
It's really good for him.
Although he has been fighting for many years, he has only grown from a military household in Liaodong to the commander-in-chief of the Yongwei camp step by step. After Hongguang became emperor, he relied more heavily on the Yongwei camp, so he promoted Huang Degong and the officers under his command.
In less than a year, Huang Degong was promoted from earl to marquis, and then from marquis to duke.
As Huang Degong's adopted son, he was also promoted to President Qian.
But after Hongguang was captured, he protected Li Guofu and fled all the way to eastern Zhejiang. At this time, he was just a bereaved dog. But King Lu not only took him in, but also relied on him so much, especially during this period, he was awarded the title of guerrilla general.
He rebuilt the Yongwei Battalion and was promoted to the rank of deputy general in Haimen.
It is true that warriors in troubled times are domineering, but warriors are also more clear-cut about love and hate.
Being left behind by the prison state, he thought he had been abandoned and drank alone in despair.
"Haimen is the gateway to Taizhou. This place is very important. If Ningshaotai cannot be defended in the future, we will have to retreat south. Haimen is the gateway that must be retreated. We must defend it no matter what. We can attack or defend here.
, along the coast and across the river, I will leave you at Haimen. You will be the battalion officer of the Yongwei 1st Battalion and the deputy general of Haimen. Do you understand the deep meaning of Gu?"
Wang Chuangzi's face turned red after drinking, and his brain was a little unable to keep up.
"Now we are reorganizing the army. The armies in the past were in disrepair, so now we must reorganize, establish new battalion numbers, and provide real troops with real pay. For example, Zhang Mingzhen is the commander-in-chief of Zhejiang, commanding all battalions in Zhejiang and directly leading the town.
Mark one battalion. All participating generals will lead guerrillas in each battalion."
"You can lead two battalions by yourself!"
Haimen Camp was under the command of the Zhejiang General Army, but Yongwei Camp was not under the control of the Zhejiang General Army. It was directly under Zhu Yihai and was the emperor's personal army.
Wang Chuangzi gradually understood that he, a deputy general, was not of high rank, but he was very special. He directly led two battalions, and he was also a soldier of two systems. He obviously had the intention of supervising the Zhejiang general army.
A feeling of confidance suddenly came to his heart. Wang Chuangzi grabbed the wine bowl and drank a full bowl without saying anything, drinking it all.
Zhu Yihai likes this kind of upright generals who say what they want without beating around the bush.
"When you stay in Haimen, you must guard the gate tightly. Of course, you must also seize the time to recruit troops and train soldiers. I hope you can recruit these two battalions as soon as possible, and they must be real soldiers, and there must be no half-assed names. These two battalions must be full of soldiers as soon as possible.
For the camp of men and horses, it is best to build the Haimen camp as a naval camp, and the Yongwei camp as an infantry camp. We should also pay attention to the training of water and land coordination at ordinary times, and we must take advantage of the geographical characteristics of our coast."
One battalion had 800 soldiers and 200 auxiliary soldiers, and two battalions had 2,000 men. Zhu Yihai gave Wang Xiang 20,000 taels of silver and an additional 20,000.
"You should use this money wisely, but you can't deduct the soldiers' pay. They have to be used when they should be used. I hope you can train these two thousand men and horses as soon as possible. When you use them, they can be summoned and they can fight.
.”
"Once these two battalions are brought out, we can have two in the future, and two can become three. We can use the veterans of these two battalions as skeletons to expand more troops."
"As long as you train these two battalions for me, you will be the commander-in-chief. When you can lead five and ten battalions, you will be the admiral of the brave guards!"
"The Duke of Jingguo was loyal to the country. He died for the king and died for the king, mourning the country. Among the four towns in the north of the Yangtze River, only Huang Gong was a true hero. I personally drafted an imperial edict and named Huang Gong the King of Jingnan, with the posthumous title of Zhongwu.
Showing strength in martial arts, simplicity and loyalty in nature, the death of the leader of the guard, and Ming Ming's righteousness, when Wuhu is recaptured in the future, Huang Gong will be buried with a grand ceremony."
"Although you are not Huang Gong's biological son, you are also his adopted son who appreciates him very much. He regards you as a child. The army also calls you Xiao Chuangzi. I hope you can inherit your adopted father's ambition and loyalty." Lao Zhu patted Wang Xiang.
shoulders.
Even Wang Chuangzi, a man as strong as a bear, was made to cry.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for still remembering your adoptive father."
Although it has no practical significance to confer a royal title after death, it is of extraordinary significance to Huang's descendants.
"Work hard and leave Uncle Jingnan to you. I hope to regain the two capitals in the future and you and I will return to the Forbidden Palace in Beijing. Then you can become the Marquis of Jingnan or even the Duke of Jingguo in the Ming Dynasty!"
With such a promise, what else could the Prime Minister say? He knelt down in excitement, touched his head to the ground, and kowtowed loudly. The Ming Dynasty was not interested in kowtowing, but at this time, this was the only way to express his feelings.
Zhu Yihai didn't drink much wine, he was just slightly drunk.
He was very satisfied with the effect. Although the performance was a bit deliberate, for junior officers with low-level backgrounds like Wang Xiang, this method was undoubtedly more palatable to them.
"Chuangzi, I leave Haimen to you. Wang Mingqian is in Dinghai, Wu Kai is in Shipu, and Qian Sule is in Yincheng. One of the three of them is young, one has little fighting experience, and the other is a civil servant. If Zhoushan Huang Binqing wants to take advantage of it,
When entering, you must provide reinforcements at any time."
Prime Minister Wang banged his chest and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured."
"One more thing, I plan to appoint the former imperial censor Lin Shidui as the deputy envoy of the Zhejiang Prosecution Department, who will also patrol the Ningshaotai Road and the Taizhou Military Preparation Road, and appoint Zhang Huangyan, who was born as a Jinshi and an imperial editor, as the associate director of the Taizhou Liangtai.
"
The Ming Dynasty has long established the Military Military Command, and now it has gradually become a regular practice. Basically, it is appointed by the deputy envoys or ministers of the provincial governors, and usually also serves as the sub-inspector. It is also called the military military constitution. It is set up when there is a need.
Things change, but now it has become fixed.
The Military Preparation Road is controlled by the governor and is sent by the governor or governor. It can control the guards and camps. It is mainly designed to stabilize local security and at the same time assist the governor in handling military affairs. Its military powers mainly include organizing military affairs and training guards.
The army and local people are responsible for arresting thieves and suppressing civil unrest, managing guards' troops, money, food and farmland, patrolling rivers and lakes for defense, etc.
Because he is an official of the Ministry of Justice, he has supervisory and judicial powers, so he has great authority in supervising officers and soldiers, inquiring about punishments, and prohibiting rape and corruption.
To put it bluntly, the Military Preparation Road is similar to the chief committee of a military division, equivalent to a small governor.
All the soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction are under his control. Although the soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty were all civil servants, many of them did not know much about fighting, but they had natural leadership rights, especially in the area of food and salary.
It's them who have the final say.
Zhu Yihai reset Taizhou's Military Preparation Road, not because he was worried about Wang Xiang, but on the contrary. He trusted Wang Chuangzi very much, but the system must also be sound. The Military Preparation Road is not necessarily a good system, but in today's chaotic war period, the generals
It is also necessary to put a civil servant as a balance.
Otherwise, the military officials will only become more arrogant and domineering, and no one can control them.
Of course, what Zhu Yihai wants is checks and balances, not suppression.
In order to keep the army under control, he hoped to control it through food and salary, so he imitated the logistics system of the Hunan Army in later generations and also established a food platform.
Generally speaking, the Military Preparation Road is equivalent to the Hunan Army's camp office, which is responsible for military affairs. The Liang Tai is responsible for logistics, food, pay and weapons. The generals are only responsible for training and fighting. They don't have to worry about money, food and equipment, nor
Let them handle it.
Zhang Huangyan was a passionate young man, and Zhang Cangshui's name was well-known to Zhu Yihai for generations to come. This time, he was asked to partner with Wang Xiang, to be his Taizhou grain station, to assist Lin Shi in preparing the Taizhou army, and to organize the logistics of each battalion in Taizhou.
Take care of it.
In addition to being in charge of the Wang Xiang's Haimen Camp and the Yongwei No. 1 Battalion, he also has to be in charge of the Taizhou Coastal Defense Camp. Anyway, he is in charge of the officers and soldiers in Taizhou, as well as the logistics, food and salary.
How many battalions there are in Taizhou, who are the generals, and what are the names of the soldiers, they all need to be registered and checked regularly, and then the wages and salaries are paid directly from the grain station without going through the hands of the officers.
As for Lin Shi's military preparation, he not only had to control the various camps in Taizhou, but also oversee the criminal justice and judicial supervision in Taizhou, both civil and military.
"Although Zhang Cangshui is young, he is full of passion and sincerity. You must partner well and cooperate with each other in the future. Taizhou's stability depends on you."
