Chapter 1614 Renzijuan Thunderous Fall and Turmoil (2)
Feng Ziying did not expect that King Zhonghui would be so powerful. He was directly trying to disrupt and reorganize the Shenji Camp. Moreover, He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji were the two strongest troops in the Shenji Camp. King Zhonghui was so unscrupulous. A polite annexation will definitely cause strong dissatisfaction and backlash from Qian Guozhong.
Although the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp is the commander-in-chief of the three major battalions of the Beijing Camp, it does not mean that he can intervene in the organizational adjustments of the three major battalions at will.
As the military governor, King Zhonghui had the right to mobilize the three battalions of troops, but this was also subject to restrictions. The appointment and removal of generals, and the above-mentioned garrison required approval from the Ministry of War.
Of course, as the governor of the Jingying camp, he has great power to recommend military attachés such as garrison, duty and even guerrilla officers. However, for generals above the rank of general, the Ministry of War has its own judgment and arrangements and will not easily accept recommendations from the Jingying camp.
He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji are both guerrillas now. Their troops were carefully selected from the defeated troops in the Beijing camp after the Santun camp, and they also selected some soldiers from the Minzhuang in Yongping Prefecture to supplement and mix them.
It should be said that through the painstaking efforts of the two men, although these two units cannot be compared with the elite frontier troops, their combat effectiveness is definitely among the best among the three major battalions of the Beijing Camp.
In particular, Feng Ziying also took the initiative through the Ministry of War to prioritize the replacement of firecrackers for the two units. The soldiers asked Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong to provide them with part of the training backbone to supplement them, so that the two units completely bid farewell to the original training model. He embarked on the path of a new type of fire gun soldier and became the second unit with the strongest combat effectiveness in the new Shenji battalion.
Now that King Zhonghui came, he opened his mouth and wanted to drain the elites, including these two groups, from the Shenji Battalion. Of course, Qian Guozhong would fiercely oppose it.
Qian Guozhong was not someone to be taken lightly. There was naturally a reason why Emperor Yonglong gave the nod to be the commander-in-chief of the Shenji Camp, and he would not be easily overpowered by King Zhonghui.
But after all, King Zhonghui was a military envoy, and as a prince, he served as the military envoy of the Beijing camp and the general of the fifth military camp. This was something Chen Jixian had been struggling for for several years but failed, so he was forced to leave for Huaiyang town.
It can be said that King Zhonghui's taking up this position was also arranged by the emperor, but his move to dig up the Shenji Battalion to fill the fifth military camp was not necessarily the emperor's authorization.
"You will be asked to report within three days, and you will lead the headquarters there?" Feng Ziying couldn't help scratching her head, this matter was a bit difficult.
Each of the three camps has its own garrison.
The main camp of the Fifth Army Camp is located in Beijuxianfang, the northeast corner of the capital city, mainly in the area behind Berlin Temple and Wuyue Temple, and in the corner between Andingmen and Dongzhimen.
The Shenji Battalion is stationed in Chongnanfang, which is the southeast corner of the outer city. There is one next to Anhua Temple, one in Wulitun, and the Shenshu Battalion is stationed in Baizhifang, which is the northwest corner of the outer city. There is one in Laojun District. There is a barracks to the east of Chongxiao Temple.
The regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty are different from those of the previous Ming Dynasty. Neither the Forbidden City nor the imperial city gate defense system belongs to the three battalions. The three battalions are actually the garrison troops used to guard the capital city. Those guarding the imperial city gates and palaces belong to The tasks of the smaller guard units such as the Four Guards Battalion, Warrior Battalion, and Flag Bearer Battalion.
However, the city gates of Deshengmen, Andingmen, Dongzhimen, Chaoyangmen, Dongbianmen, Guangqumen, Zuoanmen, Yongdingmen, Youanmen, Guangningmen, Xibianmen, Fuchengmen and Xizhimen are composed of three The main camp is responsible for guarding.
"Yes, this has put us in a difficult position. There are superiors on both sides, what should we do?" Yang Zhaoji said with a bitter face, "Master Qian kept saying that he would go to the Ministry of War and said that King Zhonghui had no right to directly give us orders without him. , but it was King Zhonghui who issued the order in front of Mr. Qian. Although Mr. Qian objected, we were not sure whether this objection had any effect. Don't let the responsibility for disobeying the military order fall on our brothers in the end. , Aren’t we suffering an unreasonable disaster?”
It is true that the Jingying Jiedushi has no right to bypass the three major camp masters and directly give orders. However, as the Jingying Jiedu envoy, he has the right to directly give orders to the three major camp masters. If the three major camp masters do not obey, then It’s disobedience.
However, you, the Jingying Jiedushi, have to directly order the transfer of part of the Shenji Battalion to the Fifth Army Camp. This is obviously an adjustment to the entire military system. Without a clear order from the Ministry of War, it may be difficult to accept an oral order that can be done easily. Everyone, the people below don’t dare to accept it casually.
Feng Ziying thought about it and felt that King Zhonghui might have been a little reckless in this matter. Maybe he did get the oral instructions and instructions from Emperor Yonglong and could make adjustments in the three camps. However, the army has its own rules, and it is not just a word from the emperor. It works.
For things like moving a town, not to mention the emperor alone, even if the minister of the Ministry of War is included, it must be collectively discussed by the cabinet before it can count. This adjustment within the Beijing camp also requires at least the consent of the Ministry of War, Zhonghui The king obviously had little contact with court affairs and thought he could make whatever arrangements he wanted with the emperor's instructions.
“So what do you and Hu Chen think of each other at Taichu?” Feng Ziying thought for a moment before asking.
"Well, we haven't thought about this. Mr. Qian still values the two of us very much. He has already mentioned to us that if there is a chance, he will not forget us and let us train soldiers well and strive to earn a good impression in martial arts performances. ." Yang Zhaoji said hesitantly: "Master Qian doesn't know much about soldiers. He has been idle for many years, but he is definitely better than King Zhonghui. After all, he has led soldiers for several years."
“Huchen, what do you mean?” Feng Ziying looked at He Huchen again.
"Sir, the Fifth Military Camp is the strongest among the Beijing camps. It stands to reason that there will be more opportunities in the future, and King Zhonghui is still a prince and has the emperor's trust. However, the Fifth Military Camp is now an empty shell. King Zhonghui does not know how to fight. We don't know what will happen in the future." He Huchen looked at Feng Ziying, "I wonder if you can give us some advice..."
Feng Ziying tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair. He needed to evaluate the possibilities brought about by this change.
It turned out that he was just a random person, hoping that there would be one or two military commanders he could trust in the Beijing camp, so that he could have someone to take care of him when he served as the Prime Minister of Shuntian. For example, when he was investigating the Jingtong Ercang case, he showed that he knew the root and cause of the matter. The benefits of being a trustworthy military commander in the capital.
But now the situation is a little different. As Chen Jixian led the main force of the Fifth Army Camp to move to Huaiyang, the entire Fifth Army Camp was empty. You must know that the Fifth Army Camp occupies an absolutely dominant position among the three major battalions of the Beijing Camp. Shenshu Camp and Shenji Camp are both The second best, otherwise King Zhonghui would not be allowed to serve as military envoy and commander of the five military camps.
In the future, the Fifth Military Camp will definitely be better than the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp in terms of the replenishment of military resources and armaments. Going to the Fifth Military Camp will definitely have more advantages than disadvantages. Moreover, King Zhonghui does not know soldiers, which is a good thing and an opportunity. , he will use warriors he trusts more.
As for Qian Guozhong in Shenjiying, I am afraid that the emperor was considering the balance when King Zhongshun recommended Qian Guozhong. In addition, Qiu Shiben and Su Shengdu in Shenjiying were married. It is estimated that Emperor Yonglong had more influence in the promotion and appointment of military officers and generals in these two departments. The city will give it a little more thought.
"Huchen, Taichu, if you two believe me, then do as I say." Feng Ziying thought about it again and again, and finally made up his mind.
"Why do you say this, sir? Without your help and support, how would Taichu (Huchen) and I be today?" He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji stood up at the same time, bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, just tell us, and we will definitely obey your orders."
"Well, you and I are like brothers, why should we be so polite?" Feng Ziying quickly stood up and helped her up, "I think so, you should know the mission of the Beijing camp. King Zhonghui will serve as the military envoy of the Beijing camp to meet with the Fifth Army Camp. General, this is not decided by the Ministry of War or even the cabinet. This is the emperor's wish. In the future, if you can get into the eyes of King Zhonghui, you will have more opportunities. After learning, you can sell it to the emperor's family. This is true for both civil and military affairs. You two were originally in the capital camp. We have wasted several years, and now we should seize the opportunity. Therefore, I want you two to leave us and go directly to Prince Zhonghui's Mansion to express your willingness to follow Prince Zhonghui, but you must obey his orders..."
He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji were startled, "Sir, what should Master Qian do?"
"It doesn't matter. Since King Zhonghui was contradicted by Qian Guozhong yesterday, he should have understood. I'm afraid that he is already discussing with the Ministry of War at this time. With the emperor's support, if Qian Guozhong can't stand it, the decree will be issued tomorrow at most. But in my opinion, it would be difficult for both of you to transfer into the Fifth Army Camp at the same time. Most likely, one of you will stay and the other will go to the Fifth Army Camp, but no matter who stays and who leaves, it is a good thing..."
Seeing the confusion on their faces, Feng Ziying laughed and said, "Think about it, as long as you express your attitude to King Zhonghui, he will naturally treat you differently. Even if you stay in Shenji Camp, he will treat you as one of his own. It's Jiedushi. Even if Qian Guozhong recommends you, you have to go through his hands. If he is willing to take advantage of the situation to help, it will only go more smoothly... But the premise is that you can't make it public when you go to King Zhonghui. It's best to avoid it. Open the eyes and ears of others,..."
It suddenly dawned on the two of them, and they were both overjoyed.
After He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji left, Feng Ziying frowned and shook her head slightly.
The tree was about to be quiet but the wind was not stopping. King Zhonghui must have felt something when he moved so eagerly, but it was indeed a little too late. Of course, this was not his fault, but that there was some deviation in the emperor's judgment.
But for me, it is not a bad thing. New generals such as He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji have caught the emperor's eye, and now they show their loyalty to King Zhonghui, they will definitely have better fortunes.
The capital and camp are beginning to be restless, but what about other places?
Feng Ziying didn’t think others could bear it anymore. He looked northwest and then southwest.
Make up for yesterday’s losses, and strive to continue to make up for what was owed in the previous days.
