Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 414
Just after the beginning of summer, the banks of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River began to be lively.

Although the emperor has not formally ordered the Northern Expedition, the imperial camp has already begun to fully mobilize. In order to make the third Northern Expedition go smoothly, the emperor deliberately reorganized and reset the imperial camp on the basis of the original imperial camp's camp affairs, grain platform, editorial and other departments. There are five headquarters of the General Military Command, the General Staff Office of the Imperial Battalion, the General Supervision Office of the Imperial Battalion, the General Logistics Department of the Imperial Battalion, and the General Armament Department of the Imperial Battalion.

A large number of soldiers from the Imperial Battalion began to be mobilized, especially the Third Headquarters of the Imperial Battalion, which was planning to cross the river this time. assemble.

At this time, spring sowing has begun in various places, and rice seedlings have already been planted in almost all areas in the south of the Yangtze River. At this time, labor is needed, but the emperor gave an order, and countless soldiers in the imperial camp immediately put down everything, packed their backpacks and picked up their weapons. Start back to camp.

Spring plowing is important, but now the Tartars are aggressively attacking on the western front, and even the Shandong and Henan fronts have begun to press into the Huainan front, and the military pressure has suddenly become tense.

The emperor wants to take the initiative and wants to make the Northern Expedition. There are still disputes among the officials in the DPRK and China, but the soldiers in the imperial battalion have nothing to say and obey the military orders unconditionally.

Zhenjiang.

At the camp at the foot of Beigu Mountain, countless soldiers gathered from all directions, with red flags waving and shiny armor.

Up to the general and down to the auxiliary soldiers, they were all full of joy, with a wave of excitement on their bodies, and there was no look of fear of war. In the camp, there were soldiers greeting everywhere, and the soldiers who had just returned from their homes immediately took out Some of the food I brought back was shared with my colleagues.

Zhao Gui and Zhao Fu returned with his sons-in-law and the imperial soldiers who were also on the roof, taking care of each other along the way, and did not cause any trouble to the local government. They maintained the imperial uniform well reputation.

They bid farewell to each other at the gate of the camp and went back to their respective teams.

Zhao Gui went to the Liangtai of Xijindu Wharf in Zhenjiang, and only after arriving did he realize that the Liangtai has been renamed the General Logistics Department. After finding his boss, he took out some Amy fruit made by his wife, and a little bit of Tiantai Mountain Ming Former tea leaves.

"Why did the Liangtai become the General Logistics Department?"

His boss, Zhang Cheng, was the one who brought them into Liangtai in Luqiao, Shandong Province. He brushed off his dark green official robe, "See, the light green has turned dark green, the newly promoted sixth-rank man, "

"Congratulations, my lord."

"Same joy, same joy. This time, our grain station has risen and all boats have risen. It has been changed to the general logistics department, and the level has also been raised. Now the boss of our general logistics department has also been promoted to the second-rank governor. Sun Jiaji, the Minister of the Ministry of war, transferred Prime Minister's Office."

The grain desk was changed to the general logistics department, and the responsibilities remained unchanged. It was still in charge of the logistics construction and support of the imperial army, management of military supplies, food and salaries, and transportation of supplies, and even medical, engineering, and financial and auditing departments.

Now the logistics of the 10,000+ imperial army, especially the food and pay, are still under the management of the general rear.

The chief officer of the General Logistics Department is the Governor of the General Logistics Department and the Minister of the Ministry of War.

For example, Zhang Cheng was originally a seventh-rank light green, but now he has been promoted to a full-six dark green, and even directly promoted two levels.

"You are now a good eighth, and the light blue has changed to dark blue. If you work hard, you will be able to wear toad green in no time." Zhang Cheng said with a smile. People feel refreshed on happy occasions, and being promoted naturally makes people feel happy. Zhang Cheng used to be just a Poor scholar, now it is time to turn.

He also told Zhao Gui that Sun Shilang had just issued a letter of appointment, and he was going to be transferred to the logistics department of the newly established Shenwu Town as the director of logistics, in charge of the logistics of Shenwu Town.

"Old Zhao, I recruited you into Liangtai at the beginning. You are also very diligent and hardworking, especially very capable. This time I am going to Shenwu Town, so you have to follow me to help."

Zhao Gui was still a little dazed about his sudden promotion to the eighth rank, but when he heard that Zhang Cheng wanted to take him to Shenwu Town, he said without hesitation, "I obey the order."

"Well, I've already typed up the report, and it will be approved soon. You should hurry up and get ready. Let's bring in more capable people. Shenwu Town was originally from Fujian. Yes, based on them, we have newly created two towns of martial arts, bravery and bravery. They are new troops, and the logistics department is also brand new. If the higher-ups can give us this task, it is worthy of us. We must take this responsibility well. There is no problem at all, especially since the Northern Expedition is about to start at any time, we must hurry up and not delay..."

Zhao Gui was excited when he heard that, "My cousin Zhao Furen is diligent in his work, so you can take him with you."

"Zhao Fu, I know that he is not as motivated as you, but he is indeed very hardworking. He is a trustworthy person. Take it with you."

When Zhao Fu was called, his face was still flushed. He had just received the notice and was officially awarded the official position of Cong Jiupin.

I couldn't wait to change into the light blue ninth-rank official robe. On the light blue official robe, there was a patch on the front and back. It was embroidered with a quail, which spread its wings and head. The little bird facing the sun used to think it was so small, but now it looks so pleasing to the eye.

When Zhang Cheng and Zhao Gui told him to take him to Shenwu Town, he immediately agreed.

During this recall, he was still a little reluctant to come back at home, and even kept talking about the tea workshop at home along the way, thinking about doing this tea business to live a stable life.

But now that he puts on the ninth-rank quail official robe, he immediately throws all of these out of the clouds, and officially steps into the ninth-rank rank. This is the start of life again.

"This Shenwu town is full of Fujian soldiers, can it be managed well?" Zhao Fu asked.

"Shenwu Town is not full of Fujian soldiers. You also know the rules of our imperial camp, but we will not let them stand on the top of the hill. The [-] Fujian soldiers who were assigned to the imperial camp will also be reorganized and divided into various divisions. Shenyong Town has an establishment of [-] soldiers, but now the actual number is [-], of which the remaining Fujian soldiers are actually only [-], and they have to be formed into standard battalions with other soldiers, ten battalions of soldiers, and one battalion of Fujian soldiers one hundred,
Zhang Cheng said with a smile, "Besides, we don't need to worry about leading troops. Your Majesty will send officers from other imperial camp towns to take charge of them. We are from the grain station, so we will take care of the grain and logistics, and the rest will not matter." It doesn't matter either."

They are cooperating with the military director to provide logistics support. They can't control the soldiers in Shenwu Town. Even the nine hundred auxiliary soldiers are not under their direct control.

Everything has rules and regulations, and Zhang Cheng, Zhao Gui and the others can be regarded as experienced Liangtai elders, so they are quite confident about going to Shenwu Town to establish a logistics department this time.

Soldiers and rations are separated, each manages its own.

Even though Yan Keying was the chief military officer and was named the Earl of Fuqing, he led his soldiers and they managed their money and food. They said they were subordinate officials, but in fact they did not have a strict direct affiliation.

Zhang Cheng pulled Zhao Gui and Zhao Fu to start pulling people everywhere, and soon he pulled up his own team, reported the list to the headquarters, and got approval soon.

Then they rushed to the military barracks in Shenwu Town, Zhenjiang, and set up the banner of the logistics department, which can be regarded as official office.

After setting up the logistics banner, Zhang Cheng and Zhao Gui first met with officials from the military order, staff, supervision, and equipment departments. Basically, they were all officials transferred from the original battalion, supervision, and editing departments.

Among the five divisions, the Military Order and Staff Divisions were actually split from the original Battalion Affairs Division, while the logistics and equipment divisions were split from the original Grain Desk.

Officials from the five offices met, but they were actually different from the grades of the chief officials.

The Military Order Division and the Staff Division are in charge of military administration and military orders.

Yan Keying, the commander-in-chief of Shenwu Town, is not in charge of the military commander.

The Military Command Division is in charge of military administration, so it is also called the Military and Political Division or the Commanding Division.The military commander is similar to the military department of the imperial court, and the staff department is separated from it, which has the shadow of part of the five-army governor's mansion.

The Staff Division is responsible for military intelligence, institutional combat plans, etc., but it has to issue combat orders through the Commander Division. In the entire Shenwu Town, the highest chief officer is actually the Chief Soldier Officer, so the Staff Division and the Commander Division are the deputy of the Coordinating General Soldier.

It's just that one is in charge of military administration and the other is in charge of military orders. To put it bluntly, one is in charge of soldiers and the other is in charge of military affairs.

The previous battalion office was actually a combination of military, political and military orders.

Each of the five divisions is in charge of a specific area, but the commander and staff are relatively more important, but the commander-in-chief is still the highest officer, and the five divisions all assist the commander-in-chief.

Zhang Cheng and the others met first, and then they went to meet Yan Keying, the chief soldier.

Yan Keying stood in her big tent, a little distracted.

Although Zheng Zhilong's reaction that day was better than he expected, but after Zheng Zhilong went ashore to Beijing the next day, he still felt a rift between the two of them.

And these days he stayed in Zhenjiang as the general army, but he also found that the imperial camp general town was not easy to be.

The [-] soldiers who went north from Fujian were transferred to pieces. The most terrible thing is that Yan Keying is very good at water warfare, especially familiar with the southeast sea, but now the imperial camp of Shenwu Town is an infantry army.

Five thousand soldiers, one thousand and eight auxiliary soldiers, a total of 800 troops, and only [-] Fujian soldiers left, of which [-] were his standard battalion and his most confidant family troops, and the remaining [-] were all It was drawn from various ministries.

"Uncle, the officials of the Fifth Division are here to pay their respects."

Hearing the servant's report, Yan Keying felt even more headache.

He really never thought before that the emperor organized the imperial camp so thoroughly, especially the five divisions, who had such great power.

Coupled with the fact that the lieutenant generals, generals and other major officers who have already been in place for a long time are also transferred by the emperor from other towns in the imperial camp, he feels that he, the chief military officer, is even a little lonely and weak in Shenwu Town. a feeling of.

"Please come here."

The servant had just walked a few steps, when he said again, "Forget it, I'd better go to meet him in person."

When he went to meet the people, he realized that several lieutenants, generals and other military officers had already chatted happily with the five civil servants one step ahead of him.

"The welcome is late, everyone forgive me."

Although all the officials of the Fifth Division were dressed in green robes and green robes, this uncle did not dare to neglect.

Of course, the reason why he arrived later than the lieutenants was that he had just walked halfway and went back to change his clothes.

He deliberately put on the python suit given by the emperor, the big purple python robe with a jade leather belt and a goldfish amulet, and even wore a thousand-ox knife given by the emperor on his waist.

Although he is not an imperial guard, but he has to be given this Thousand Bull Sword, so he also has the title of guard to show the people around the emperor.

In the barracks, he deliberately put on such a suit, but in fact he didn't have much confidence, he wanted to be able to suppress the scene.

"Meet the boss of the town!"

When Zhu Wenwu saw him coming, he greeted him immediately.

Not to mention, this four-clawed python robe is still very intimidating.

"Don't be too polite, gentlemen. Let's sit and chat. Shenwu Town is newly established. A certain man is a southern barbarian from Fujian. We will work together in the future. If there is something that is not thoughtful, please look forward to Haihan!"

A group of people greeted each other and signed up.

Yan Keying chatted with them for a long time, and finally recognized the officers of Shenwu Town, who were divided into the officers of each co-standard battalion, and the civilian officials of the fifth division.

It took a long time to figure out what the duties of the five divisions are. This commander is also called the military commander, and is responsible for all aspects of Shenwu Town, such as personnel in the town, troop training, weapons and equipment, logistics supplies, and combat orders. However, the Logistics Department is also in charge of logistics supplies, the Equipment Department is in charge of weapons and equipment, and the Staff Department is also in charge of military intelligence and formulating tactics.

Therefore, the Commanding Division is actually in charge of personnel affairs, as well as coordinating other departments.

The Chief of Staff is the staff who specializes in combat, and there are also in the Fujian Zheng's Army, and all ship owners, big and small, also have military advisers and mentors, and the Emperor's Imperial Battalion actually set up a special department to be in charge of this.

I thought that these five divisions were just his staff, but after chatting for a long time, I realized that they are not completely under the control of him as the commander-in-chief, because the superiors of the fifth division of Shenwu Town, as well as the five divisions of the imperial camp, are under the control of the imperial army. On the top of the five divisions in each chamber of the camp, there are five divisions of the highest rank in the Imperial Battalion.

Yan Keying scolded her mother in her heart, could it be that I, the commander in chief, is just a display?
Of course not, he is the highest military officer, and the five divisions only perform their duties, but they still assist him.

But Yan Keying looked at these guys smiling, and still scolded her mother in her heart, because they added that the five of them performed their duties.

Just like the Chief of Staff, they specialize in intelligence and combat planning and command, that is, collecting intelligence, formulating combat plans, and mobilizing drills. These are their responsibilities. How to fight and how to march, they provide plans to the general.

Of course the chief soldier can also veto it, but...

The director of the commander's department is equivalent to his adjutant. He is in charge of everything in the army. For example, the appointment and removal of officers below the battalion are all in charge of them. It is managed by the higher-level military order department.As for the deputy commander-in-chief at the town level, he was ordered by the emperor.

This personnel authority, Yan Keying, also recognized it, but it turned out that the money, food and equipment were completely out of his control.

Raising and distributing food and salaries, and even rewarding military merits, are all directly managed by the logistics director, and he, the commander-in-chief and officers at all levels, cannot interfere at all.

Although there is no need to worry about the food and payment, the food and payment has always been one of the best means to control the army, and even one of the means to make a fortune.
