"Dad, those slaves with three surnames have been defeated by their father twice, so why should they be ranked above his father?"
In Nanyang City, He Zhen received a new appointment.
The emperor conferred He Zhenwusan rank as the second-rank general of the town army, and was transferred to the 20th town of the Imperial Camp as deputy admiral. He was given the title of Prince Shaobao, granted the title of Duke of Qi, and granted a thousand households.
The 20th town of the new imperial camp was stationed in Hubei. It consisted of the imperial camp, the Xiying camp of Li Dingguo, the Shunying camp of Gao Yigong, Liu Tichun, Hao Yaoqi and others, and the Xiang camp of Yao Ke, Wang Bin and others.
It was formed by reorganizing the rebels from Yunxing'an and other places, Sun Fashou's Guanzhong rebels, and He Zhen's Hanzhong troops.
The deputy admiral is from the first rank, and his rank is not low.
Moreover, the Twenty Towns are the Imperial Camp, the direct lineage of the Emperor, and the Central Army.
But because the admiral of these twenty towns was Zhu Dingguo, He Zhen always felt a little nauseous. Who was Zhu Dingguo? He was Li Dingguo, also known as Zhang Dingguo. He successively worshiped Zhang Xianzhong and Zhu Yihai as his adoptive fathers.
Zhu Dingguo, who is only in his twenties this year, even though he has the name of Little Yuchi, after Zhang Xianzhong entered Shu and sent troops to fight for Hanzhong in northern Sichuan, Zhu Dingguo led his troops and fought against He Zhen several times, but he was defeated several times.
, never once won against He Zhen.
Not only lost to He Zhen, but also to Ma Ke.
Later, he lost to Wu Sangui, Ao Bai, and Li Guohan. Anyway, in He Zhen's eyes, Zhu Dingguo recognized his father as a powerful man, and his fighting ability was only the courage of an ordinary man.
He Zhen was originally a border general of the Ming Dynasty, but later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, then surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and then surrendered to Zhu Yihai anyway. He, Wang Guangtai, Hao Yaoqi and others marched into Guanzhong and joined forces with Sun Shoufa, Wu Dading, Hu Xianghua and others to attack Xi'an with a so-called 100,000-strong army.
He was deceived by Meng Qiaofang and attacked by Wu Sangui and Li Guohan. He was defeated and fled back to Hanzhong.
But when he returned to Hanzhong with his defeated troops, when he met Li Dingguo, he still beat the young man to the point of running away with ten thousand enemies.
Soon after Li Dingguo received reinforcements from Zhang Xianzhong, he made a comeback and led a large army to attack one of He Zhen's villages, which was just a fort. However, they fought for a month without defeating him. He Zhen turned around and returned with troops to help, and defeated Li Dingguo again.
Fleeing in defeat.
Both times, He Zhen defeated more with less.
But now the emperor made Zhu Dingguo, who was only in his twenties, the admiral of the 20th town, and he was the deputy admiral.
He Zhen was very unconvinced. No matter in terms of age, qualifications or achievements, he thought he was far above Zhu Dingguo. He thought that when the emperor started his army, he had already occupied the important place of Hanzhong, expressed his support, and surrendered with tens of thousands of troops.
.Sent troops to attack Guanzhong again. Although it was unsuccessful, it also contained and attracted many Tatar elites.
In the past few years, they were in Hanzhong and also provided great flank support for Qin Liangyu of Wen'an and his troops in Sichuan.
Zhu Dingguo was beaten by him in those years and was forced to stay in northern Sichuan, not daring to take the lead. Later, he followed Zhang Xianzhong to the north, but what achievements did he have?
The Western Army was almost completely annihilated. Li Dingguo, who even killed his father and could not save his father, is now his immediate boss?
What's even more annoying is that as the admiral, he is not the second-in-command of the 20th Town.
There are also Chang Shi and Sima above him, who are the second and third leaders respectively. As the deputy admiral, he is only ranked fourth. He does not command a whole group of people and has also canceled the direct subordinate battalion. So now the deputy admiral has a purely deputy position, and he is still ranked first.
The fourth deputy position is quite dissatisfying.
Originally, after the towns were reorganized, he, Sun Shoufa and others were stationed in Xing'an Prefecture after the reorganization. Sun Shoufa was a civil servant, and he was the chief of the town.
Regardless of whether it is a town or a town outside, it is always the top of the town.
Now reorganized into the 20th town, he is only the fourth deputy admiral.
He Zhen's brother He Da also slammed the table, "We can accept someone else as the admiral, but can Zhu Dingguo take advantage of us just because he recognized the emperor as his father?"
Lieutenants Zhang Quan, Li Potou, Wang Laohu, Zhao Guangyuan, Han Wen, Shen Zhengfu and other direct descendants were very unhappy.
In this reorganization, Xing'an Town will be eliminated.
They were originally stationed in Xing'an Prefecture, and they should be reorganized into Zhu Pengfei's 19th Town. Town 19 was stationed in Shaanxi, and both Hanzhong and Xing'an Prefectures were in Shaanxi.
But now they have been reorganized into the 20th Town, but the admiral is still Zhu Dingguo, his defeated general and old enemy.
"That's right, this is all chaos." He Zhen's son yelled that it was unfair, "Why should Zhu Dingguo be the admiral? There are also problems with the chief historian and Sima. Hao Yaoqi is the chief historian and Wang Guangtai is the Sima. How can these two people do it?
Are you on par with your father? In fact, you are even better than your father!"
Hao Yaoqi was also born in the Shun Army, and Wang Guangtai was also a rebel in his early years. Later, he and his brother Wang Guangen were recruited and became the garrison of Yunyang.
In terms of background, qualifications and abilities, and even their achievements in recent years, He Zhen believed that they were far inferior to her.
But now, these guys who were born as Western thieves and shun thieves are all riding on him. It just so happens that he, a serious and meritorious general who was born as a military general in the Ming Dynasty, is now only the fourth deputy admiral in the twenty towns.
Seeing that they were going too far, Zhao Guangyuan became a little panicked and frightened, so he quickly reminded in a low voice, "Everyone, please be careful, Zhang An's head is still hanging on top of Nanyang City."
When it comes to Zhang An, everyone can't help but feel a little discouraged.
Zhang An, a caveman, rebelled, but was beheaded in less than half a day. This really shocked countless soldiers.
"We are just discussing the matter, and we are not trying to rebel." He Daoning shouted.
He Zhen glared at her eldest son. He was really young and stupid. Whether intentional or not, the word rebellion was unacceptable. In the past, everyone was in a place where the sky was high and the emperor was far away.
Are you talking casually?
He glanced at Zhao Guangyuan, who was also his defeated general. Zhao Guangyuan was once the commander-in-chief of the Qiang Han soldiers in Sichuan, and then he was defeated by Li Zicheng and surrendered to Li Zicheng. Then he was defeated by Zhang Xianzhong, and then went to Shaanxi to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Later, he was defeated by him again.
The soldiers and horses were annexed by him.
This man was a fool, but when He Zhen looked at him, she suddenly felt that this man might have been the emperor's man for a long time.
He immediately put away his dissatisfied expression.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What Mr. Zhao said is that the arrangements of the saints have their own cleverness. We are not the ones who can speculate and comment. Don't say it anymore. Everyone should accept the court's arrangements."
It’s just scheduling.”
"Boss."
"Father?" He Daoning stepped forward.
"You stayed with me. Although you practiced good archery and horse martial arts, you also delayed your studies. I will give the saint a thank you note later, and by the way, I request your majesty to allow you to become an honorary guard in the inner four guards. You can rest assured that you can serve as the imperial guard.
After studying for a few years, you can also hone your mind and don't do nothing all day long."
Sending his son to Yunwei naturally meant to express his sincerity and send him as a pledge. He Zhen had already sent several nephews to Beijing before, some to the Imperial Academy and some to the Martial Arts Hall, but the eldest son was not left behind.
Sent, even those sent were all from concubines.
When He Zhen's note of gratitude was delivered to Zhu Yihai, he was very satisfied after reading it.
This excerpt was written by He Zhen herself. The handwriting is very ordinary, but it also reveals the fierceness of a military commander. Although it is a bit sloppy, it is very powerful.
Zhu Yihai did not allow officials to have others write the private secrets given to him.
He Zhenshe sent his eldest son here and accepted the new position, which shows that the emperor's power is not bad, especially Zhang An's head is really effective.
He Zhen can be regarded as a standard warlord in the late Ming Dynasty. He jumped repeatedly, had no loyalty, and would surrender to whoever was stronger. However, in the late Ming Dynasty, there were too many such warriors, and there was nothing special about him.
A general born in the Ming Dynasty, he was transferred to Shun and then to the Qing Dynasty, and then returned to the Ming Dynasty.
Anyway, he occupied Hanzhong at that time and brought tens of thousands of horses with him, so he was considered powerful. He did not listen to the imperial edict and insisted on joining forces to attack Xi'an. He said that he would raise an army of 100,000 and appointed himself president. However, he returned in defeat.
, I became a bit more honest after that.
Because of Ma Ke's backstabbing, the threat of Wu Sangui and Li Guohan entering Hanzhong, and Wang Guangen's rebellion, their situation became worse and worse. In addition, Zhang Xianzhong's large-scale march northward, He Zhen and others had to squeeze in to survive, so they became more and more polite to the court.
But this man is a warlord at heart after all.
It can only be said that now that he is being forced to do that step by step, he has less and less capital and is unable to fight against the emperor.
In the 20th Town stationed in Hubei Province, Zhu Yihai thought carefully about appointing Zhu Dingguo, who had lower qualifications, as the admiral. Zhu Dingguo is still very young and has no dazzling achievements. However, this man is the God of War of the Southern Ming Dynasty in history, which shows that the upper limit is very high.
Furthermore, he now has the status of the adopted son of the emperor. Using him as an admiral is somewhat of a way to control the big with the small. Zhu Dingguo is not qualified enough, so as the admiral, he will not be able to support the troops and respect himself as a warlord, so he can be more obedient.
Although He Zhen, Hao Yaoqi, Wang Guangtai, etc. are all powerful generals of the same party, they are also from the bandit army and have similar qualifications. They don't obey anyone. Zhu Yihai specially picked one from each faction for the sake of balance.
Zhu Yihai also specially selected Zeng Ying and Wang Mingqian as the commander-in-chief of the two associations in the 20th Town. The deputy commander-in-chief was Wang Chaoxian and Zhang Guozhu. These four generals also had great backgrounds.
For example, Mr. Zeng Ying was a white-faced scholar in Sichuan, but he was a strong general. When Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, he presented the strategy of suppressing bandits to the governor. The governor felt that he was talking on paper and kicked him out, but handed over the military power of Sichuan to the idiot Zhao Guangyuan. As a result,
Big defeat.
However, Zeng Ying raised 500 troops and was able to defeat Zhang Xianzhong's 40,000 troops.
However, because Zeng Ying was dissatisfied with Wen Anzhi and ended up mutiny in central Sichuan, Zhu Yihai kept him on the bench, which can be considered to have worn him down.
Wang Mingqian is Wang Zhiren's eldest son. Although he is young, he has a good family background. He is also a member of Long Yuanxun. When he was young, he made mistakes by underestimating the enemy. Zhang Guozhu once stole Dinghai City. However, after several years of hard work, he is now making great achievements in battle.
However, because Wang Mingqian actually had a conflict with a friendly general not long ago and directly brought his own soldiers into a fight, which had a bad impact, Zhu Yihai demoted him from deputy admiral to deputy commander-in-chief and transferred him to Twenty Towns, which was considered punishment.
Chao Chaoxian and Zhang Guozhu were both generals of the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen Dynasty, but because they supported the Yiyang King to supervise the country at the beginning and fought against Zhu Yihai, they were kept in cold storage for a while, especially when Zhang Guozhu went to join the Tatars for a while.
But in the past two years, the performance has been pretty good. Although this time he was only awarded the title of deputy commander, this is the imperial camp, so it can be regarded as completing the test and being officially activated.
The commanders of the military command, supervision, staff, and logistics departments of the 20th Town were all transferred from the original imperial camp to hold these important positions.
The situation in the 20th Town stationed in Hubei is relatively common in this major military reorganization. Basically, the main officers and soldiers in each imperial camp stationed in various provinces have undergone such major adjustments.
After this adjustment, each town will be stationed in each province, so there will no longer be military leaders with independent armed forces in the mainland, and the original hills with independent soldiers and horses will also be demolished to pieces.
He Zhen went from Hanzhong to Xi'an, was defeated and retreated to Hanzhong, then to Xing'an Prefecture, and now he was transferred to Hubei. This great warlord has been completely reined in by Zhu Yihai. Even if he has any thoughts from now on, it is gone.
The capital cannot be squandered.
Of course, Zhu Yihai believed that he was not unkind to him.
The Duke of Qi, the general of the town army, the deputy admiral of the 20th town, and the prince Shaobao are all top-level treatment. If he is not satisfied with this, it can only be said that he is ignorant of current affairs and not smart enough.
Zhu Yihai believes that He Zhen is a smart person and knows how to choose.
