Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 111 Group Camp System
Guo Sheng shrank his head, not daring to speak.

The same as the Marquis, Old Marquis Chen shot it down by himself, but he is an inherited title, and his strength and prestige are incomparable.

What's more, his father died early, he was only 14 years old when he inherited the title, and he had never been on a battlefield. If he had never fought in a war, how would he know about this.

Otherwise, he would not have been left in the capital when the Supreme Emperor went out to fight.

Let him go to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion to handle all kinds of daily affairs. He doesn't know the details of this kind of specific battle, and he has never defended the city...

But these words, he only dared to beep in his heart, he would definitely not dare to say them in person.

On the other hand, among the ministers present, they were more or less related to military affairs. After listening to Yu Qian's explanation, they roughly deduced the wartime scene in their minds.

Chen Yi said: "Your Majesty, this method is very good. Our capital city is high and deep, and there are people's alleys outside the city. The Wala army is good at riding and shooting. Wars outside the city can minimize the force of the cavalry's advance, but it can bring out our combat power. chariot and infantry."

Chen Xun also said: "That's right, in this way, my capital will be safe and sound."

Seeing Wenchen's singing and singing, and the flattering things, Old Hou Chen felt tired.

As a young general, he has fought countless battles, big and small, so he has a unique vision.

It has to be said that Yu Qian is different from those among the civil servants who only know superficially about military affairs and talk too much.

He has real talents!

This arrangement is not a conspiracy, but the biggest advantage is that it is safe, step by step, and interlocking.

Chen Mao has fought battles for so many years, and he has a deep understanding that what matters in a war is head-to-head.

The reason why those intrigues and tricks in the history books can be recorded is because there are too few successes.

No bells and whistles can compare to a steady and steady fight, step by step.

Yu Qian implemented this point very well.

In fact, Yu Qian's words are not new, whether it is the means of defending the city or the tactics of the army.

But Chen Mao knows that as long as these can be used well, it is not a problem to keep the capital well.

Along the way, the various arrangements for defending the city, the preparation of equipment, and the changing of defenses by the officers and soldiers on duty were all very appropriate.

It can be said that as long as the general in charge does not lose the chain when the battle starts, there is a high probability that the battle of defending the city will be won.

Although the old Hou Ye was holding back his anger, he still reluctantly nodded in approval of Yu Qian's arrangement.

But even though he recognized it, Chen Mao still spoke.

"Even so, it is the same reason to organize the officers and soldiers transferred from various places into the three major battalions. Why do we need to set up another battalion?"

Although Old Master Chen has not been in the capital for a long time these years, but seeing Guo Sheng's stunned look just now, he already has no hope for the disciples of the capital camp.

But the regiment system still needs to be clarified.

The Beijing Camp of the Ming Dynasty was also called the Three Great Battalions, which were the Five Army Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, and the Shenji Battalion. Each battalion had an independent commander-in-chief in charge of it.

Although there are admirals and ministers of the Beijing camp, the three major battalions are independent of each other, and each has a dedicated commander-in-chief and military governor.

However, after Yu Qian's reform, the commander of the ten regiment battalion became the commander of each battalion.

The power of the Tenth Regiment and Battalion was brought together, with a commander-in-chief to lead the drills, and an admiral to oversee military affairs.

To put it bluntly, compared with the three major battalions, the regiment and battalion system has unprecedentedly strengthened the power of the admirals, who can bypass the commander-in-chief of the three major battalions and directly admiral the officers and soldiers.

In today's Beijing camp, the commander-in-chief is Shi Jing, the captain-in-law, and Yu Qian himself is the governor of military affairs.

Facing Chen Mao's questioning, Yu Qian was still not in a hurry, and cupped his hands.

"Chen Hou, the capital camp has had a long history of malpractices. Among them, the generals have bullied each other and treated the officers and soldiers harshly. The capital is now in danger and should be rectified."

"Compared to the system of three major battalions, the regiment battalion has neat command and effective drills. The division of labor and cooperation among the regiment battalions can maximize the combat effectiveness of the Beijing battalion."

"And among the three battalions, only the Shenji Battalion is good at firearms. After the restructuring, each battalion has a firearms army, infantry, firearms, and chariots. They cooperate with each other during drills, so that they can be effective on the battlefield."

Chen Mao stared at Yu Qian, and wanted to speak, but looked at the calm emperor, and finally did not speak, but his face was still unwilling.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Chen Mao who was still dissatisfied, and sighed in his heart.

He naturally knew what Chen Mao wanted to say.

Although the regiment and battalion system has improved combat effectiveness, it also has disadvantages, that is, it is easy to get too big.

The reason why the three battalions do not belong to each other, even the admiral cannot directly command the army, is to restrict each other.

After the restructuring, the power of the Tenth Regiment and Battalion was vested in the hands of the admirals, which violated the principle of checks and balances established by the military system.

Of course, the more important point is that during this restructuring, Yu Qian ruthlessly dismissed a large number of descendants of his relatives, and even excluded several governors except Shi Jing from the Beijing camp.

Jingzhong Xunqi has quite a complaint about this matter.

Master Chen, as a serious Jingnan Xunqi, can be said to be a big banner among the Xunqi after Zhang Fu.

As soon as he returned to Beijing, the old man who came to ask for a complaint broke through his threshold.

If it hadn't been for the consideration of Yu Qian's opening and closing, and asking the emperor for instructions, Old Master Chen wouldn't have shut up so easily.

After thinking about it, Zhu Qiyu said.

"Which is better, you can tell once you try it. Since Chen Hou and Yu Aiqing are in dispute, it's better to go to the capital to find out."

So the ministers below all bowed their hands and said yes.

To inspect the Beijing camp, it is not suitable for light vehicles and simplicity.

After all, the Nine Gates are still within the range of ordinary people coming and going, and Wang Xian, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, can just take a few to the tower.

But the important place of the Beijing camp, let alone a Shuntian governor, even if Yu Qian, the minister of the Ministry of war, came forward in person and wanted to bring a few unknown people in, it would be against the military law.

So it was impossible to go today, Zhu Qiyu ordered Lu Zhong to go back and make some arrangements, preparing to go to the Beijing camp for inspection the next day.

As for himself, he continued to patrol in several other directions with these elders.

I have to say that Yu Qian is still very reliable in his work.

Not only Deshengmen, but also several other important places have built different fortifications according to the terrain.

When Zhu Qiyu and others went to see it, these fortifications were basically completed.

In addition, Zhu Qiyu also noticed that the soldiers on duty on the city wall were not as weak as before, but all of them were full of energy.

After asking, Yu Qian said with a wry smile.

"This matter has to be entrusted to the blessing of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Shen Shangshu is very generous this time. Today's defenders of the city, whoever goes to the city for the first time, will be given one tael of silver and two bolts of cloth. The original defenders will be given two bolts of cloth. In addition to the original monthly silver, the defenders of the city also have three buckets of monthly rations, which are all distributed in full these days."

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while, and remembered that he had approved such a memorial a few days ago. He still remembered that Shen Yi's face was turning blue at that time.

It was indeed a hemorrhage.

The monthly grain is nothing. These days, millions of shi of grain and grass have been transported from Tongzhou and other places one after another. With the newly collected tax and grain, the current grain in the capital is at least more than 400 million shi, but the money is needed. dead.

You must know that most of the taxes collected by the Ming Dynasty are in kind, and the treasury does not have much silver.

For ordinary people's homes, the monthly expenses may not cost more than one tael of silver.

Let alone two bolts of cloth, ordinary people may not be willing to tear up a bolt of cloth to make new clothes during the Chinese New Year.

For the officers and soldiers, the imperial court is responsible for eating, drinking and military equipment, so their monthly silver is basically around five qian.

One tael of silver and two bolts of cloth are worth half a year's worth of monthly silver.

Today, the price of rice in Daming is about four renminbi a shi. The household department’s expenditure alone is estimated to cost 10,000+ taels.

Such a large amount of money was thrown out like this, Shen Yi couldn't be more distressed.

But as long as it's all spent in the right place, it's worth it!

Looking at the high-spirited and straight backs of the guards, Zhu Qiyu felt a little more at ease.
