Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

The wine was in full swing, and the opera was lingering. In the Goulan box, Li Ruolian's voice sounded somewhat emotional.

"By chance, by chance!"

Li Xiu shook his head. Li Ruolian said that he naturally knew that the order had been issued. Although it had not yet been in his hands, his transfer from Jinyiwei to Yongwei Camp as Qianhu was a certainty.

Today, it is naturally a farewell banquet before leaving office.

"It doesn't matter if you jumped out, Jin Yiwei, life is really hard now..."

Li Ruolian was obviously also a little emotional, and he was full of sighs after drinking a glass of wine.

"No matter how much you dance, you'll still be fooling around under Nine Thousand Years!"

Li Xiu poured a glass of wine, but his leisurely words made Li Ruolian's originally sighing expression froze, and he shook his head helplessly, but he didn't say much.

"Brother Xu hasn't come back yet?"

"He is a straightforward person. I guess he would rather suffer the cold in Liaodong than the anger of Dongchang in the capital..."

After finishing speaking, Li Ruolian glanced at the silent Erwazi, and asked casually:

"You have been transferred to the Yongwei Battalion, what about Erwazi, you are still staying in Jinyiwei?"

"Don't you have to count on Qianhu to take care of you..."

Li Xiu raised his glass and said something seemingly casually.

"Good to say."

Li Ruolian didn't promise anything, raised his glass, and both of them drank it down in one gulp.

After a night of drinking and drinking, the guests had a great time, and it was not until late at night that Li Ruolian returned to his room to rest with the support of a graceful woman.

After a sleepless night, in the morning of the next day, the transfer order that he had learned before finally arrived in Li Xiu's hands.

Fortunately, everything has been arranged properly, and there is no need to worry about the future. Taking the transfer order, Li Xiu rushed towards the Jintaifang camp where the Yongwei camp was located.

The so-called Jintaifang Camp is naturally where the original Warriors Camp and the Four Guards Camp were located. According to the military system of the Ming Dynasty, although the pro-military forces belong to the Beijing Army, they have the right to ownership. Responsible to the emperor.

Among the many pro-armies, apart from Jin Yiwei, the well-known pro-army of the Son of Heaven, the Warriors Battalion and the Four Guards Battalion are the most special.

Because looking at the many pro-armies, only the Warrior Camp and the Four Guards Camp are under the jurisdiction of the Royal Horse Supervisor. That is to say, the eunuch has absolute influence on the Warrior Camp and the Four Guards Camp, which means that the emperor If you want to gather military power, these two pro-armies are the easiest to control and the least susceptible to outside interference.

Apparently, Emperor Tianqi was extremely careful in gathering military power.

Chapter 77 Like a duck to water

As for the current situation of the two pro-armies, the Warrior Battalion and the Four Guards Battalion, Li Xiu has heard of it for a long time. The so-called pro-army that once held the elite soldiers and horses in the world has long been rotten, especially under the supervision and leadership of the eunuch. It's almost empty now.

This is why Emperor Tianqi's attitude towards these two pro-armies is the most important reason for the elimination and reorganization.

But no matter how it is reorganized, it will not change the fact that in the current situation where civil servants control everything, if Emperor Tianqi wants to control military power, he must rely on eunuchs.

Otherwise, with the means and ideas of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty, it would not be an easy task for the emperor to seize military power.

After all, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty never had any differences when it came to the emperor's command of the soldiers.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that if the Warrior Battalion and the Four Guards Battalion had not always belonged to the inner court, it would be unfair for the foreign court to intervene. Emperor Tianqi wanted to mobilize troops, but it would not be such a simple matter.

Even so, through the conversation with Zhu Youjian, Li Xiu almost understood how much pressure Emperor Tianqi was under to reorganize the Warrior Camp and the Four Guards Camp this time.

After all, the Warrior Battalion and the Four Guards Battalion are not under the jurisdiction of the Outer Dynasty. Although it is a bit more convenient for Emperor Tianqi to control the soldiers, they are also not under the jurisdiction of the Outer Dynasty. It was easy to match.

On this point, no matter how much Wei Zhongxian dominates the court, it is useless. After all, people are separated from each other. For an official, it is difficult to do good things, but it is easy to do bad things. Be careful, and no one can find fault .

With the lack of cooperation from the outside court, it is conceivable how difficult the reorganization of the Warrior Battalion and the Four Guards Battalion is. Whether it is the transfer of soldiers, generals, or the preparation of armor and supplies, it is almost entirely up to the inner court to carry it...

"After taking this step, Emperor Tianqi should try to control other pro-military forces or the Beijing camp..."

"Then the contradiction was completely intensified step by step..."

Looking at the Jintaifang camp at the foot of the imperial city in front of him, Li Xiu let out a long breath, and resolutely walked in.

Now that he has made a choice, there will be no regrets, he will unswervingly follow his choice, step by step.

……

"You are Li Xiu?"

In the camp, Li Xiu stood bowed, above the head, Wei Zhongxian sat on it, looking at Li Xiu with great interest.

"We have heard of your name for a long time. Since you have come to this brave guard camp, we will not say anything else. You are doing things for His Majesty. If you do well, you should be rewarded. If you don't do well, you will lose your head... ..."

"Your Majesty ordered you to serve Qianhu in the Yongwei Camp, so you can do what Qianhu should do with peace of mind, serve His Majesty, win face for yourself, and face for us..."

Wei Zhongxian's words were somewhat beyond Li Xiu's expectations. Originally, he thought that his arrival would cause Wei Zhongxian's displeasure, but he didn't expect that he would not make things difficult at all.

But after thinking about it, Li Xiu suddenly realized that the Yongwei Battalion was of great importance, and Emperor Tianqi handed over the Yongwei Battalion to Wei Zhongxian to take charge of it, so the pressure would all fall on Wei Zhongxian.

For the sake of his own life, he is probably more eager than anyone else to get the errand of the Yongwei Battalion done as quickly as possible, so he wouldn't have nothing to do to make things difficult for him.

"The Yongwei Battalion tentatively has a total of 2000 soldiers and generals. The selection of soldiers and generals has been completed, and your troops have been allocated in full... Do things with peace of mind, our family will protect your prosperity and wealth..."

……

It has to be said that although Wei Zhongxian's reputation is not very good, his ability to handle affairs is quite good.

When Li Xiu first entered the Yongwei Battalion, the school was full of soldiers and generals. In the next month or so, various supplies and equipment were continuously piled into the Jintaifang camp.

This reorganized Brave Guard Battalion was also adjusted and reorganized at an extremely fast speed with the unstinting support of Emperor Tianqi.

But for Li Xiu, since he took office as Qianhu, his comfortable and relaxed life has officially gone forever.

A reorganized army, for any general, can be said to be enough to cause people to worry about it.

But if another condition is added, that is, this reorganized army is an army that the emperor places high hopes on and supports unstintingly. It's a big chance to make people crazy.

For Li Xiu, it is naturally the same.

The corruption and unbearableness of the past were wiped out under the strict order of the emperor. Even if this reorganized army is just a show, it is no exaggeration to say that this show has surpassed 90.00% of the guard army in Daming today.

It is much simpler and purer to start instilling from a piece of white paper, and to finish drawing on a piece of dyed paper, and it is easier to gain more.

After half a year of thorough reading and comprehension, the accumulation of strategic strategies in military books will bloom once in a while!

In this newborn brave guard camp, there is no need to worry about any restraints, no obstacles, even, under the same goal, the support he can get is unprecedented.

Almost everything made Li Xiu feel like a fish in water, he used all he had learned to his heart's content, and honed the soldiers of the thousand households in the headquarters.

Especially when he personally felt that the Qianhusuo, which could only be said to be a show, had gradually formed combat power under his own practice. This sense of accomplishment was simply incomparable to Li Xiu.

……

"Boom, boom! Boom!"

At dawn, the night was still dark, and in the empty Yongwei camp, the drums of war suddenly sounded.

stomping on...

Almost at the moment when the war drum sounded, there was a movement like thunder in the barracks, the sound of armor colliding, the sound of hurried footsteps, everything, mixed together, at this time when dawn and darkness intersect, Compose a tense concerto.

On the high platform of the school field, Li Xiu was dressed in military uniform, holding a sword in his hand, standing proudly like a long spear, commanding the army as a general, majestic by himself.

When a military strategy is thoroughly combined with reality, the transformation of oneself under the unity of knowledge and action is something that Li Xiu never imagined.

Looking around the audience with the eyes of the torch, under the blazing fire, you can clearly see the soldiers rushing out of the barracks. They are fully armored and hold their firearms tightly. Each of them is like a ghost in the dark, gathering together at a very fast speed.

Soon, the army formation as majestic as a mountain stood in front of Li Xiu.

The banner is strong, and the soldiers are cold!

The North Wind Shuosuo, Thousands of soldiers formed an army, but there was not the slightest noise.

All eyes focused on Li Xiu who was standing on the high platform of the school field.

Several months, in this real military camp, was enough for Li Xiu to completely establish his majesty.

With an order, there is no one who dare not to obey. Discipline is forcibly embedded in the blood and soul of every soldier under his command. This is Li Xiu's greatest achievement since he took charge of the army for several months!

……

Chapter 78 Rule the Army

In this era, the real conquest on the battlefield is by no means as simple as modern people think.

Without modern communication technology, as the commander-in-chief of an army, it is not as simple as ordering the whole army to attack as in movies and TV shows.

Beating drums and sounding gold, issuing orders with flags, the command procedure of ancient wars, its complexity is not only a great test for an army commander, but also a great test for lieutenant officers.

If you can't do this, no matter how elite you are, you will only be a mob.

After several months of practice, discipline has been successfully instilled into the blood of every soldier under his command. After doing this, it will be easy to practice other things.

March with drums, ten steps with one drum, twenty steps with two drums, and rush to charge with drums.

Ming Jin withdrew his troops, Ming Yijin stopped attacking, and stood by for orders, Ming Erjin was about to retreat, and Ming Jin retreated in an orderly manner continuously.

If the black flag blows, it will rob multi-stage shooting formations, and so on.

Each unique sound of the golden drum, combined with the change of the flag, is a military order like a mountain!

"Boom!"

The drums are rumbling and the flags are changing. In Li Xiu's eyes, the thousand soldiers on the school field are no longer real people, but chess pieces that move according to his will.

Wherever he needs this chess piece to be on the chessboard, he must appear there. As for the fate of the one who greets him, no one will care.

This is war. With the experience of many generals throughout the ages leading troops and conquests, Li Xiu can see the true meaning of war very clearly.

"Heaven is a genius, he is the only one!"

Outside the school grounds, Wei Zhongxian looked at the changing military formations on the school grounds, and Li Xiu standing upright on the general platform, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Congratulations, with this general talent, the emperor's confession can be regarded as a bottom line..."

Wang Ti looked at the army formation in the school field with a dry smile, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"I still have to count on you to pay more attention to the affairs here. Although the Donglin Party in the capital has been cleaned up almost, but the Jiangnan side is now in full swing, and there is no rule at all!"

After staring at it for a long time, Wei Zhongxian seemed to have remembered something, turned his head to look at Wang Tigan beside him, and said something.

"What our family understands is to share worries for the emperor..."

Wang Tiqian was still smiling, without the slightest sharpness.

"So good..."

……

When the sun was rising, in the big Jintaifang camp, the other departments of the Yongwei Battalion started to perform exercises.

The mountainous army formation that had existed on the school grounds for a long time was something that no soldier in the Yongwei Battalion could ignore.

The Yongwei Battalion has a fixed number of 2000 people and ten battalions.

From the first battalion of soldiers to the tenth battalion of soldiers.

The battalion that Li Xiu led was the first battalion of brave guard soldiers. This word is expected by everyone, and there is no doubt about it.

Even the generals, lieutenants, and generals of other battalions had no choice but to submit to Li Xiu.

Since ancient times, the principle that the strong are respected has always been practiced most deeply in the army.

In today's brave guard camp, it is naturally the same.

For several months, Li Xiu, the name, has almost become an unavoidable topic for every soldier in the Yongwei Battalion.

Awe, horror.

Even though Li Xiu had never interfered with anything other than the headquarters, the awe of the strong in the depths of human nature left a deep imprint on him in this newly born brave guard battalion.

It was three poles in the sun, and then at dusk, after two exercises a day, the school grounds with constant shouts gradually returned to silence, and Li Xiu's unit, which weighed heavily on the hearts of other Yongwei battalions, finally ended a day of exercises.

The soldiers returned to the barracks in an orderly manner, armed with armor, in silence.

Until this time, the other ministries, who had been repressed, finally ended their drill impatiently, as if they had received an amnesty.

As for ending the practice before Li Xiu's first one...

No other camp owner has such a thick skin, and the guarding eunuch who stays in the camp almost day and night is not free, let alone a big eunuch like Wei Zhongxian or Wang Tiqian, who comes here almost every now and then. Come on, in such a situation, few people really dare to slack off too much.

When the Yongwei Battalion was first established, everything was too hasty. Although the original camps of the Warriors Battalion and the Four Guards Battalion were borrowed, the combined strength of these two pro-military troops was only a few thousand. Now the strength of the Yongwei Battalion can be said to be The multiplier is increased, and the conditions of the entire camp are naturally not much better.

Li Xiu didn't bother to talk about pomp and status. He didn't even fight for the official residence in the camp. He directly ordered people to set up a tent in the camp as a place to stay. For several months, he shuttled directly between the school grounds and the tent every day. , I've already gotten used to it.

The camp tent was a bit crude, and Li Xiu didn't arrange it much in the army, except for a desk full of military books and war books and a bed in the corner, there was nothing else.

"Thousands!"
