Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 94
Horse waist lake.

Light a bonfire and reflect the stars in the sky.

In the fragrance of rice flowers, there is a sound of frogs.

A group of battalion captains are holding torches and harpoons in their hands to spear fish by the lake.A lot of fish came out at night, and they swam to the shallows on the shore. The experienced long man, with a torch in one hand and a fork in the other, was accurate with each fork.

Zhu Yihai waved the fan with one hand to repel the mosquitoes. Although the mosquito repellent potion was sprinkled on his body, there were still too many mosquitoes at night in the Jiangnan water town, and they roared like fighter jets passing by.

The surrounding piles of smoke added to the peppercorns only made the situation a little better.

"Will the Tartars come?"

University scholar Shen Chenquan asked, he didn't doubt Yan Wogong's loyalty, but thought he might not be able to deceive the Tartars.

Zhu Yihai did not doubt that there were too many gentry who surrendered captives these days, and it would be abnormal if they did not surrender. Therefore, Yan Wogong’s fraudulent surrender at this time did not appear to be outstanding, and he had a detailed talk with Yan Wogong. It was found that this Juren was careful in thinking and had a strong adaptability.

Yan Laosan united many cowardly squires to surrender, which is actually expected. After all, they have not been here for a long time. Under the current situation, these people are sitting on a lot of property. The privileged class who usually live a good life does not want to follow It is human nature for the sunken Daming to die together.

Yan Wogong was a surprise.

However, although he was very supportive of Zhu Ming before, he never thought of going this way, and now he made this move to save his uncle, but it just shows that Yan Wogong is a loyal and filial person, what else is there for such a person Don't worry.

Even Zhu Yihai thought of going further through this incident.

In future struggles, we can still use multiple prongs.

"Wen Zhong, how is the selection of the military judges of each battalion? This matter must be implemented as soon as possible. The army must not only be able to fight bravely, but also be reliable and follow orders. These must have a reasonable supervision system."

Zhu Yihai has always advocated the system, and the rule of man is not as reliable and stable as the system.

"According to His Highness's request, we are still selecting, and some people have been preliminarily arranged."

Zhu Yihai requested that all sentry teams in the battalion should supervise the army and enforce the law, and it would be best to use a full-time scholar. This requirement is not easy to meet. Although there are many new recruits in the army, and a large number of gentry are loyal and abandon their pens, they can be arranged to do this full-time job. In fact, many scholars are not very willing to supervise the army and enforce the law.

They are full of enthusiasm for serving the country and want to abandon their pens and join the army to kill the enemy, but such things as supervising the army and enforcing the law deviate from their original intention.

On the other hand, such full-time deputy supervisors and law enforcement are actually on another level of relative opposition to the military officers and soldiers.

Many people resisted.

"I am going to improve our current military organizational structure. If we want to gain a foothold in Wudi, we must integrate the current soldiers and horses to become cohesive and smooth up and down."

Zhu Yihai's plan is to set up a battalion office, a supervision office, a grain platform office, and an editorial office in the army. Among these four organizations, the battalion office is equivalent to the headquarters, responsible for issuing orders and laws.The Supervision Office is to supervise the law enforcement of the army, which is equivalent to the military police.The Food and Taiwan Department is responsible for equipment and logistics, and the Editing Department is responsible for intelligence.

Otherwise, there are now eleven battalions, more than 1 horses, and the command will not be smooth. There are more troops and more territories, and the local township militias have to be commanded, which requires a more detailed organization.

Zhu Yihai also hopes to strengthen ideological and military training in the army. For example, under the battalion affairs office, a training course for officers and non-commissioned officers will be held to train young and loyal backbones in the army in batches. You can teach in person, and even cultivate feelings and draw closer relationships.

On the other hand, some more talented people were also recruited from the army or localities to the battalion affairs office to help with their duties and strengthen their training. In the future, they can be transferred to each battalion to stand alone.

Furthermore, the job of the battalion office is to give orders, which is equivalent to the military headquarters, responsible for formulating combat plans and researching strategic deployment, so a group of professional people will definitely be recruited to act as staff officers.

Only by improving the central decision-making brain, the soldiers and horses of the following battalions can exert higher combat effectiveness.

The grain platform was set up by Zhu Yihai in Ningshao before. The purpose was to separate the war and the logistics. The generals only had to train and fight, and the grain and grass were provided by special personnel. restrictive ability.

If you have soldiers but no pay, you can only obey and rely on the court.

It can also guarantee real soldiers and real pay.

The Supervision Office has also just been established, responsible for supervising military discipline, enforcing military laws, supervising wars, etc. The full-time deputies are also responsible for the ideological dynamics of the soldiers, strengthening the ideological education of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and even responsible for agitating propaganda and controlling public opinion.

For a regime, especially a regime that is in a state of collapse, if it wants to regain its life, thought and public opinion are also important battlefields. It would be very scary if others were allowed to control public opinion.

The editorial office is the military intelligence department, and there will be special intelligence staff, detectives, scouts, etc. Each battalion must not only set up Yebushuo and Tangqi, but also train and recruit more spies, and even develop secret agents. Spy spies, etc., should be placed in each battalion, local township militia groups, and even villages in prefectures and counties to establish a tight military intelligence network.

They perform their duties everywhere, and they all obey Zhu Wu, the admiral in the south of the Yangtze River.

Under the battalion affairs office are the battalion lecture hall, training courses for non-commissioned officers, and the staff department. This department is actually in charge of military, political and military orders. Zhu Yihai appointed a bachelor, Shen Chenquan, as the battalion affairs office assistant.

As for the logistics department, Yu Dafu was responsible for the food and payment, and Yu Dafu, the general manager, also served as the food and Taiwan assistant.

Shen Wenzhong was awarded as the assistant director of the Supervision Office, and Chen Qianfu was awarded the assistant director of the Editing Office.

Chen Qianfu had just arrived from Shaoxing. After Zhang Guowei and other senior scholars met Zhu Yihai and returned to Shaoxing, they immediately raised a batch of weapons and food, and finally Chen Qianfu led people to transport them across the sea.

This Chen Qianfu is also a strange person. He is from Zhejiang. He lost his mother at the age of four. He was a 24-year-old man in Hangzhou. , the old man was tortured, but he still agreed.

He is unrestrained and frugal, and is known as a madman, but he laughed and said that it is a troubled time now, and a gentleman only seeks great integrity, not minor faults.

The family is poor and down, but he prefers to speak big words and like to shock the world, but this person is also capable. He insisted on marrying the daughter of the Meng family, a big family in Shaoxing, and even married his sister-in-law later. It is true that she has the ability. In the second year after marrying the Meng sisters, she won the election.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, at the age of 26, he won the imperial examination.

After winning the examination, he failed to pass the Jinshi examination several times, but he made friends everywhere and made many friends.

In the 16th year of Chongzhen, he was granted the title of Tuiguan in Kaifeng, and he asked your majesty to see him in Shangshu. Chen Henan's gains and losses were not allowed.After Li Zicheng broke through Kaifeng, the counties and counties in Henan fell in anticipation. Zhou Wang and local officials ran away one after another. Only Chen Qianfu, a small pusher, held out a portrait of Ming Taizu and recruited Xiangyong to resist Li Zicheng.

When Li Zicheng was defeated in 17 years, Chen Qianfu contacted the local generals in Henan and recovered many lost ground.Hongguang proclaimed himself emperor and appointed this great man as the supervisory censor and military supervisor of Henan Province. Later, Chen Qianfu escorted the concubine Tong to Nanjing. In the future, Chen Qianfu was implicated and sent to prison.

The Qing army crossed the river, Hong Guang fled, and Chen Qianfu was able to escape from prison. He returned to Shaoxing from Nanjing, and with the help of his father-in-law's money, he once again recruited troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty on the front line of Qiantang.

Zhang Guowei and others raised a batch of food, grass and equipment, and Chen Qianfu took the initiative to ask for an escort to come.

He sent all the money, food and weapons to Zhu Yihai very smoothly along the way, without any loss of weapons or civilians. The hundreds of Shaoxing volunteers he recruited by himself were still very tough, and even many of his team members were from back then. Veterans recruited in Henan.

After chatting with him, Zhu Yihai also felt that this Chen Qianfu was a very good person and very capable, but he just liked to make shocking words with surprises and surprises, and his words had a bit of a UC shock department, full of headline party.

But the difference from the general Donglin Zuipao is that this person can not only make headlines, but also has something in his stomach. He can not only ask questions, but also send solutions, and even list solutions for you. One, two, three, top, middle and bottom strategies for you to choose.

Even if he was wearing armor, he was a handsome Confucian general in ancient costume. At this time, he was 35, which can be said to be a very old age. Thinking of this man in history who later drowned himself with the two beauties of the Meng family and died for his country, Zhu Yihai also Can't help but sigh.

If it weren't for his untimely birth, this person can be said to be a winner in life.

For such a person who suits his appetite, Zhu Yihai didn't care what others said about Chen Qianfu, and immediately worshiped him as the Minister of the Imperial Palace, and then asked him to stay and listen, and asked him to assist the editorial office and be in charge of military intelligence.

This kind of bohemian and well-connected person is very suitable for intelligence work. He can make friends with all kinds of religions and people, and he can make friends with market peddlers.

"About the various military camps, I plan to modify the battalion system a little bit. Originally, one battalion had 36 men, but I plan to change it to 48 men. In addition, there will be [-] long men for every [-] men. A battalion will have a total of [-] men. Eighth, among them, there are [-] long husbands including battalion officers and assistants, and each has a fixed number of gunpowder and so on."

"In addition to training and combat, the soldiers in the battalion no longer undertake errands and miscellaneous duties. The long husband is a specialized logistics and miscellaneous personnel as military support. This will not only reduce the burden on the soldiers, but also speed up the army's marching maneuverability and strengthen the army. Combat power."

"Another advantage is that when marching in the future, there is no need to recruit husbands and arrest people temporarily, so as not to harass the people."

For these, the four civil servants who are now appointed to help the military affairs, Shen Chenquan, Yu Dafu, Shen Wenzhong and Chen Qianfu all agree. Those generals.

Zhu Yihai believes that it is necessary to improve the organization and optimize the structure. At the very least, logistics support, sufficient food and salary, and reasonable compensation and aftercare work are necessary so that the soldiers can work hard in the front with peace of mind.

"Yan Wogong's nephews are also full of loyalty and bravery. I have specially recruited them to the editorial office to help as servants. In case Yan Wogong unfortunately sacrificed for the country, I will take good care of them." Some young people from the Yan family stayed as hostages.

"Shen Qing, I drafted a secret decree for archiving, bestowing my father's Jinshi background, granting editing and editing to the Imperial Academy, and conferring the secret decree, which will not be made public for the time being."

"Chen Qing, you are personally responsible for contacting Mr. Yan, remember to be more cautious."

While we were talking here, Yang Boxing, a guerrilla from the Yulin Front Battalion, came to report, "Your Highness, the son of Lord Yan has returned, and the matter is over."

Upon hearing the news, Zhu Yihai immediately summoned Yan Wogong's son who had just returned from Zhujiazhuang.

After hearing the story, not only Zhu Yihai became excited, but everyone else was also excited. They didn't expect the plan to go so smoothly.

"Will the Tartars really come?"

"Thief Li has completely trusted my father. They will come to attack the camp at Mayao Lake at midnight tonight. The Tartar guerrilla Ji Shiha will personally lead five hundred Tartar cavalry. In addition, Li Yuchun will also gather five hundred of his servants and veterans. Come with the riders, and his general Li Yuanshan is in charge of staying at Zhujiazhuang."

A thousand rides, Zhu Yihai laughed out loud.

Originally, Zhujiazhuang was shrunk down, with nearly 5000 troops, and it was not easy to fight. After all, Zhujiazhuang is not a castle, but it is also a manor. The Tartars are temporarily reinforcing it, digging ditches and adding horses.

Now that they are willing to come out, they still run out in the middle of the night, dividing up 500 riders, leaving [-] people to stay behind.

Whether it is the thousand riders or the 500 people, their strength has dropped drastically.

"Okay, Yan Hanlin has made great contributions, and it's up to us to do it next."

"Zhang Shuai, are you sure?"

Zhang Mingzhen, who had been sitting silently for a long time, stood up and patted the armor on his chest, "Your Highness, when it comes to the monitoring of staff and military supplies, I am not very good at it, but when it comes to confrontation and fighting, I do my part. The two armies clashed." , Only the brave win, and there are only a thousand Tartars and traitors, and the minister will let them come and go."

Zhu Yihai was very satisfied with this answer, got up and said, "Take the king's order flag card that I rushed to make for Zhang Shuai!"

The army brought two things.

The command flag made of blue silk cloth, and the golden lacquered wooden plaque.

"Zhang Shuai, this is the flag of the king's order given to you by your orphan. If you get this flag, the army can do it cheaply. Cut it first and then play it!"

The Ming Dynasty had the Shangfang Sword and the Wangming Banner. The Wangming Banner had a similar function to the festivals of the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Jiedu Jingjie of the Tang Dynasty, holding the power of life and death.

Daming's Wangming flag board, four flags and four boards, each flag is made of a piece of broad silk, four feet long, one foot nine wide, six feet five feet long, and three inches two inches in circumference.Each crouching tiger cover is eight inches long and seven fen thick.

Command flags and tokens are not allowed to be made without authorization outside the country. They must be ordered by the Ministry of War, made by the Ministry of Industry, and issued by special order.

It is not allowed to use it for free, and the teacher will return to the official after inspection.

At first, it was only awarded to the commander-in-chief of the army, and civil officials could not grant it. Later, it was gradually granted indiscriminately. Not only the commander-in-chief was awarded the flag of the king's order, but also the deputy generals, generals, guerrillas, etc. who led the army and horses to attack. The flag board, and later the governor who supervised the military affairs, because there was no flag board, and he did not have the cheap right to cut first and then play, it was difficult to call on the generals, so please also play the flag board.

Later, even soldiers and priests were able to ask to play the flag of the king's order, but most of them asked the governor to grant the flag. .

During the reign of Hongzhi, there were [-] flags, each with a number. Later, the Zhengde, Jiajing, and Longqing dynasties each added hundreds more. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court had thousands of flags.

It is no longer even four banners and four cards. The governor of the Beijing camp has eleven faces, the assistant general of the Beijing camp and the general soldiers of each hanger have ten faces each, the admiral has eight faces, and the military affairs department has six faces. , Guerrilla, and three sides each, and the governor, military guard, and even the eunuch who supervises the army can also award flags.

Although the flags are indiscriminate, their power is always there.

The warlord in battle must rely on the flag.

Even when Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong back then, although it was said that he was beheaded by Shang Fang's sword, before Yuan killed Mao, he still set up a case to burn incense, first invited the Wang Ming flag, and then beheaded with Shang Fang's sword.

Especially civil servants, after issuing the flag, they have the power to reward and punish, transfer troops, and admirals. In addition to leading military affairs, they can also be used for government affairs, and collecting money, food and taxes.

Officers who don't use them in front of the battle can do so with military law, and they can be killed directly with the flag.

Therefore, these generals and civil servants who have the right to own the flag generally have a special flag officer, who is responsible for keeping and handling the flag, and when necessary, is ordered to use the flag to mobilize troops or enforce the law.

Before Zhu Yihai came to the throne and supervised the country when he was in danger, everything was a grassroots team.

How can there be any banner of the king's order to grant, Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Zhiren all untie their own swords, and then give them as Shangfang's sword, which is actually not a formal Shangshu sword.

This time when Chen Qianfu came from Shaoxing, he brought a batch of Zhang Guowei and Yu Ying's Wang Ming flags for Zhu Yihai to use.

Zhang Mingzhen took it and found out that it was Ten Banners and Ten Orders, which was the specification of a general officer in the hanging seal, one level higher than the admiral.

"This is the first king's command flag issued by Gu. With this order, Zhang Shuai can order the army to act cheaply. If there are those who don't use it in battle, he can do it with military law, and use the Shang Fang sword given by Gu to kill them."

Zhang Mingzhen took it over solemnly, and handed over the flag of Wang Ming to his wife and nephew, Ma Chengtu and his brother Ma Gongtu. These two were originally Captain Ding of his army, and now they are specially conferred as flag officers.

Zhu Yihai took out four sets of flags and awarded them to Shen Chenquan, Shen Wenzhong, Chen Qianfu, and Yu Dafu respectively. The four were divided into four divisions in the army, in charge of military and political orders, logistics and food, supervision and law enforcement, and military reconnaissance. many.

Their Wang Ming banners each have six flags and six orders.

In the end, it was given to Yang Boxing of the Yulinqian Battalion, with four flags and four orders. As the military police in the army, the Yulinying was very special and had the power to enforce the law, so it was specially awarded.

Zhu Yihai also took off his sword and handed it to Yang Boxing. The king ordered the flag to be equipped with the Shangfang sword, and there would be no general in the army who could not be killed.

"Tonight, Zhang Shuai is in charge of commanding the battle, General Yang is in charge of supervising the battle and law enforcement, and Shen Qing and others are in charge of logistics support."

Zhu Yihai stood up, looked up to the east, the sky was still dark and dark.

"Dawn is just around the corner, and Tianming will celebrate the victory with the princes."

Zhu Yihai rejected everyone's suggestion to persuade him to leave this place and retreat to a safe place. Not only did he not leave, but he also asked to put six lanterns on his admiral's banner, so that it would be more conspicuous and more attractive to Tartar traitors.

"All the ministers go their separate ways, and I'm alone under this banner, waiting for dawn."

"Don't worry, being alone on a boat in the lake, if this is not safe, then how safe is it? Besides, tonight, we are the hunters, and the Tartars are the prey. No hunter is afraid of the prey!"
