Chapter 1537 Wei Zhongxian Is Over
The latest website: After Guo Zhen stepped down, Shen Long called Ding Baiying in again. Now that Jinyiwei and Dongchang have already made arrangements, and the intelligence and supervision systems have basically been mastered, the next step is the army; Ding Baiying was born in the Qi family army. Familiar with the inheritance of the Qi family army, and there are four apprentices Ding Xiu, Ding Xian, Ding Chong, and Ding Tai, it might be good for her to train soldiers.
"I heard that you are a descendant of the Qi family army?" Shen Long looked at Ding Baiying. This woman is different from Bei Zhai. She does not follow any ethical rules or laws. She only participated in this dispute for the sake of senior brother Lu Wenzhao. If you want to convince her, you can't just copy the routines you used to deal with Lu Wenzhao, Guo Zhen and Beizhai.
"Yes." Although Ding Baiying was bold, facing the emperor now made her feel pressured, so she responded cautiously.
"It's a pity!" Shen Long sighed. He knew that money, power or fame would not be of much use to convince this kind of person, but as long as he was a person, he would have concerns. The emperor can always take out what she wants, so as to subdue her for his own use.
Ding Baiying raised her head slightly, she didn't understand what Shen Long meant by pity, did she feel pity for the Qi family army? Shen Long didn't confuse her for too long and continued, "Since Qi Shaobao recruited troops to form the Qi family army, he fought for my Ming Dynasty from the north to the south, and made countless achievements. Three hundred and sixty days a year, most of them are on horseback. Qi Shaobao is indeed I am the pillar of Ming Dynasty."
"Even after Qi Shaobao passed away, the Qi family army still made great military exploits for our Ming Dynasty. From the battle of Renchen to the bloody battle of Hunhe River, the Qi family army shed the last drop of blood for our Ming Dynasty. It is really admirable and admirable!"
Hearing this, Ding Baiying clenched her fists. She was born in the Qi Family Army and was proud of the Qi Family Army. Now that she has heard about the glorious history of the Qi Family Army, how can she hold back? For a moment, he forgot that he was facing the king of a country, and couldn't help but sarcastically said, "It's a pity that there is no Qi family army anymore."
"That's right, the battle of Hunhe was such a pity. If Yuan Yingtai hadn't been cowardly and made mistakes, and Zhu Wanliang's troops would not save him, the outcome of this battle would have been unknown! If Yuan Yingtai and Zhu Wanliang hadn't been dead, I would have killed them!" It's ridiculous, Yuan Yingtai, the governor of Liaodong, was given the posthumous title of "loyalty" during the Qianlong period. Is it because he thanked him for everything he did in Hunhe?
"But then again, even without the Hunhe battle, the Qi family's army would definitely decline." Before Ding Baiying could react, Shen Long changed the subject again, Ding Baiying was a little confused when he heard this, what does it mean?
"When Qi Shaobao was still alive, he guarded Jiliao together with Li Chengliang from Liaodong, but the two famous generals chose different methods of training troops.
Qi Shaobao applied for military orders in Jimen, rewarded and punished publicly, and trained an elite army so that the Hulu did not dare to spy on the side walls. It can be said that a good fighter has no great achievements; Controlling the army has buried the hidden danger of the corruption of the Liao Dynasty. In the future, the soldiers and horses of Liaodong will be defeated repeatedly. Isn't it because those military leaders are reluctant to let their servants go all out? "
"At that time, Qi Shaobao once said that if all the soldiers and horses in the world came to Jimen for training in rotation, I would not have to worry about not having strong soldiers to use; but in Liaodong, Li Chengliang started the bad habit of domesticating servants. A man can train a strong soldier, but the domestication of his servants has become a model for the border towns to emulate?" Shen Long asked, in fact, the military system of the Ming Dynasty showed two completely different paths at that time, if Qi Jiguang's wish can really be realized , so Nurhachi and Huang Taiji have long since died to the point where there is no scum left.
"It's nothing more than to make it easier for those military chiefs to embezzle military expenses and oppress soldiers." Ding Baiying didn't know the way to do this, and when it came to these people, she was full of disdain.
"That's right, but you still missed a little bit, that is, the civil officials in the court, and they want to see the latter, so that they can easily extort money from the generals, so that they can continue to suppress the warriors." Spend money, spend all the money on the soldiers, these civil servants go there to extort money.
Ding Baiying was quite surprised by Shen Long's bold words, but she felt very happy when she heard it. As a descendant of the Qi family army, she naturally disliked these civil servants. If it weren't for those civil servants holding back, how could the Qi family army completely disappear on the bank of the Hun River side?
"I want to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, but I can't do without a strong army. I want to bring back the glory of the Qi family army to the world. May I ask Miss Ding to help me?" Shen Long noticed the change in Ding Baiying's expression, and she didn't have to care about anything. , but never forget this.
Ding Baiying raised her head and looked at Shen Long with doubts in her eyes, "What can I do as a little girl?"
"Miss Ding, don't underestimate yourself. Your four apprentices are all talented for a while, which shows that you have already acquired the essence of Qi Shaobao's military training. I plan to let you take four apprentices to train the four guards of Tengxiang, and train the four guards of Tengxiang as soon as possible. Become a strong army." Ding Baiying's four apprentices, among other things, Ding Xiu killed a team of Eight Banners elites alone, if he can train the four guards of Tengxiang to this level, Shen Long can go on a killing spree, He did not forget that Huang Taiji was coming in the second year of Chongzhen.
Before that, you must train a strong army that can withstand the Tartars. I have just ascended the throne, and my prestige is not enough. No matter whether it is the generals in the border town, or the Beijing camp or the guards, I can't count on it. The subordinate Tengxiang Four Guards can count on it.
"Training troops is not that easy." Ding Baiying was moved, but still had concerns.
"It's nothing more than money and power. I'll settle the money. I won't be in arrears with any payment, food, grass, ordnance or armor. I will also arrange for my trusted servants to be in charge of the horse guards. I will fully cooperate with you and grant you the right to make decisions. Order, you and your four apprentices can kill first and play later." Shen Long has no money now, the treasury is empty, and there is not much stock in the internal treasury, but it does not mean that he will have no money in the future, and he will soon have a large sum of money in his account.
Ding Baiying was finally persuaded by Shen Long and agreed to train the four guards of Tengxiang for him, while Shen Long continued to play the role of a new emperor quietly in the court.
Yang Suoxiu and Yang Weiyuan first attacked Cui Chengxiu to test the new emperor's intentions, then Lu Chengyuan, Qian Yuanxi, and Yuanwailang Shi Gongsheng all discussed Wei Zhongxian, but Shen Long kept silent.
Until Jiaxing Gongsheng Qian Jiazheng impeached Wei Zhongxian for ten crimes, Shen Long knew that the time had finally come and Wei Zhongxian was going to die, so he ordered Wei Zhongxian to be sent to Fengyang for resettlement, and at the same time summoned Lu Wenzhao, now it was time to get money.
