Chapter 140: Wild Hope Hetao
Officials in Shaanxi and other places are indeed very bold. Nowadays, local officials are responsible for any bandits in the local area, and they are not qualified for evaluation. ∽↗∽↗small∽↗say,...o&1t;/p>
Therefore, once there are any bandits in the local area, local officials will basically conceal it if they can, especially in places like Shaanxi.&1t;/p>
Officials who will be transferred to Shaanxi to serve as officials either have poor official relations or have no money to buy officials. Especially those who are transferred to northern Shaanxi to become officials have the urge to cry in the toilet. Therefore, the group of officials in northern Shaanxi are thinking of being transferred from that kind of place. There are only two ways to transfer, one is to pass the assessment, and the other is to make some money and buy a more lucrative position.&1t;/p>
Therefore, when the thieves had just begun to develop in the first year of Chongzhen, as long as someone from the local area ran to the yamen of the governors and officials to report, these governors would not ask about it, and first put on thirty boards, and then say: This is the hungry people, and they will disperse after the spring.&1t;/p>
It was precisely because of the ostrich policy that these bureaucrats adopted in the early stage that the thieves began to become popular in northern Shaanxi. Ineffective settlement and poor relief, they eventually became out of control, causing trouble in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and other provinces, and their production was astonishingly damaged, which forced more people to join the thieves.&1t;/p>
If it was just a few small bandits concealed the report, then Zhu Youxiao could understand it. However, it was extremely brave to conceal the invasion of Yansui Zhang Zhihou and General Du Wenhuan who dared to conceal the overseas invasion. This was equivalent to the later border provinces being beaten by other countries, but the national leaders were still kept in the dark, with extremely bad nature.&1t;/p>
How could such behavior not make Zhu Youxiao furious and throw his memorial to the ground so angry that he immediately summoned Tian Ergeng to the palace for a visit.&1t;/p>
Tian Ergeng hurried into the palace. Zhu Youxiao ordered him: "Send people to Yansui immediately. Stop the governor Zhang Zhihou and general Du Wenhuan to chop off me, and then pass it to the nine borders."&1t;/p>
Tian Ergeng was shocked to see the emperor burst into thunder. What did he give birth to? He made the emperor so angry? Although the emperor was young and energetic, his personality was always relatively generous. Even if those Donglin Party officials were arrested and questioned, almost no one was ordered to be cut off his head. Only one Wang Wenyan was beaten to death by the Jinyiwei during the interrogation.&1t;/p>
Soon Tian Ergeng knew what he had, and had read Gao Tui's impeachment memorial. He was also very surprised. Mongolia invaded Yan'an Prefecture and dared to hide such a big deal. I really don't know who lent them enough courage.&1t;/p>
"Your Majesty calm down, don't be angry with Long Tie. I will immediately send someone to arrest Zhang Zhihou and Du Wenhuan." Tian Ergeng immediately advised Zhu Youxiao after reading the memorial.&1t;/p>
"Go! Go! As soon as possible." Zhu Youxiao nodded, his anger calmed down a little, and he was so angry that he was angry. However, if he didn't cut down these bureaucrats who only care about their personal future and ignore the safety of the country, it would still be difficult to relieve his anger.&1t;/p>
"I obey the order." Tian Ergeng immediately took his leave and hurriedly ran to arrange the arrest. Zhu Youxiao thought about it and immediately ordered the close eunuch Yang Guang, "Summon Sun Chuanting to meet him."&1t;/p>
"Yes, the emperor. I will go now." Yang Guang ran to summon Sun Chuanting to the palace again.&1t;/p>
Sun Chuanting came to Yangxin Palace. When he saw the impeachment memorial by the Censor Gao Tui, he was also surprised. He said in surprise: "Why is this Zhang Zhihou so bold? How dare you hide such a major event?"&1t;/p>
"I have issued an order to arrest Zhang Zhihou. The most important thing now is how to prevent Hetao Mongolia from plundering again." Zhu Youxiao said with some headache.&1t;/p>
Sun Chuanting has been the Minister of War for nearly a year. He read a lot of information and became more professional at this time. He said, "Your Majesty, if you want to prevent the plunder of Hetao Mongolia, you can let the border army conduct a 'search'. However, the military discipline of the border army is not qualified. It is better to transfer the border army to reorganize as soon as possible. At that time, not only can you search for the set, but you can even start to recover the Hetao."&1t;/p>
"Search for a trap?" Zhu Youxiao was a little confused, and Sun Chuanting quickly explained.&1t;/p>
It turned out that although the Ming army did not occupy Hetao, it drove the Mongolians out of the Hetao area. However, every year, some Mongolian tribes secretly crossed the Yellow River and entered Hetao to graz. Therefore, the Ming army adopted a policy of regular sweep in Hetao. Generally, when cattle and sheep gain weight in autumn, the Ming army would conduct a large-scale sweep on the Mongolians who sneaked into Hetao to graz.&1t;/p>
After more than two hundred years of hiding and seeking in Hetao and the Ming army, the Mongolians had already openly occupied Hetao. During this period, officials of the Ming court proposed to recover Hetao several times, but were all cut off their posts because they proposed that officials were involved in some political disputes and were left alone. Now, in order to avoid the charge of "provoking border affairs", the Ming army has not searched for the trap for a long time. The Mongolians naturally began to grazed in Hetao, which was rich in water and grass.&1t;/p>
Originally, the well water of both sides did not interfere with the river, and lived a peaceful life. I wonder if it was because of the disaster in Hetao Mongolia last winter and the cattle and sheep were frozen to death or what happened, but it actually entered northern Shaanxi in the first month.&1t;/p>
But no matter whether the Mongolians were affected by the disaster and killed tens of thousands of Ming people, how did Zhu Youxiao swallow this? After Sun Chuanting's explanation, Zhu Youxiao also had the idea of carrying out a major sweep of the Mongolian tribe in Hetao. At the same time, the idea of regaining Hetao also began to sprout and grow wildly in his mind.&1t;/p>
If Hetao can be recovered, the Ming Dynasty will have a horse farming land. At that time, as long as the Mongolian nobles are killed, ordinary Mongolians can be placed to grazing, and there will be no shortage of war horses.&1t;/p>
At this time, the Mongolian tribes were still very powerful, and the property of ordinary Mongolians was still not effectively guaranteed. As long as the Mongolian aristocrats were beaten, those ordinary Mongolians would definitely be willing to live under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Then, the military power of ordinary Mongolian herders was restricted. As long as there was no unfair treatment in administrative and economic terms, the Mongolian herders would not rebel. In fact, Mongolia was not as barbaric as the Genghis Khan period, and it would not be too difficult to manage.&1t;/p>
Moreover, there is a Yellow River barrier in the Hetao area. Once the Mongolian tribes are driven out, they dare to cross the river and enter Hetao when the river surface is frozen in winter, and they dare not come in at any time because when entering Hetao at other times, a little floating bridge is cut off, so there is really no place to run. This is also an environmental factor that the Ming army could search for the sets in the past. Even if the Mongolians built floating bridges, it would be difficult for cattle and sheep to cross the river, so searching for the sets will definitely bring some rewards.&1t;/p>
"For the sake of the present, we can only reorganize the border troops as soon as possible." Zhu Youxiao nodded.&1t;/p>
After discussion between the king and his minister, a specific reorganization plan was released. The reorganization plan was immediately launched. Except for Liaodong, the other border towns will draw border troops to the capital to accept reorganization in proportion. These 100,000 border troops will be reorganized into ten infantry divisions.&1t;/p>
During the process of the transfer of these 100,000 border troops, the central government was directly responsible for the supply along the way, and they went to the capital lightly to avoid the tiring of transporting large supplies. At the same time, before the departure, each soldier would be given a settlement fee of 20 yuan, and a "Beijing Army Family Management Office" was established in each border town to register the relatives of these soldiers to avoid the relatives of these soldiers being bullied by border military officers, and to relieve the worries of these soldiers.&1t;/p>
This policy was quickly implemented by the Ministry of War.&1t;/p>
When the notice was posted to each border town, it immediately caused a sensation in the border army. The news that the court wanted to draw 100,000 border troops into Beijing to reorganize the new army was like wings, and it spread rapidly throughout every border soldier. Because the treatment of the new army's soldiers was so good.&1t;/p>
The new army adopted a professional soldier system and did not engage in production on weekdays. The military salary is 3 yuan per month, and the food and accommodation are included throughout the year. At the same time, the selected ones are given 20 yuan in settlement fees.&1t;/p>
Where can I find such treatment?&1t;/p>
The border troops in each border town can actually be considered semi-professional soldiers. They are soldiers during wartime and are busy working on weekdays. In fact, they are a bit like militias. They are basically self-sufficient. Not much of the court's military pay can be paid to them every year, so the border soldiers basically live a hard life, and they have to face the oppression and occupation of military officers. Their lives have long been very miserable.&1t;/p>
At this time, an opportunity to make a comeback was directly placed in front of them. As long as they can be selected, the whole family will be able to get rid of poverty immediately. Not to mention achieving a well-off life! It is always okay to have enough food. Moreover, it doesn’t take any effort to be a soldier and earn money.&1t;/p>
The quota for each border town is about one of the eight border troops, with a pass rate of one in eight. In fact, as long as you are strong enough, you will have the chance to choose between the ages of sixteen and thirty.&1t;/p>
After the recruiting team sent by the imperial court to various border towns arrived, the recruitment site was crowded. The recruiting method of recruiting team was to copy Qi Jiguang's military selection method, with the focus on four conveniences: Fengwei, great strength, martial arts, and cleverness. The four must not be abandoned, nor should they rely on them, and at the same time they should avoid the appearance of being in danger of death.&1t;/p>
In summary, Qi Jiguang's recruitment of soldiers is the first priority. Honest and strong country people are preferred, and soldiers are not allowed. Although martial arts are also in the selection field, martial arts can be practiced, and temperament is difficult to change.&1t;/p>
A face-to-face selection like Qi Jiguang is actually quite reliable.&1t;/p>
Fortune-telling is just about seeing a big trend. It is not like some people understand that you can calculate lottery or something. It is a very ignorant understanding. Fortune-telling does not mean that you can change your destiny, but that fate does not include space, so the results of people with different destiny in different spatial environments are also different.&1t;/p>
Just like in the era of big pot rice, those groups who are very lucky and can become big bosses may be farming in the countryside in miserable ways! Then these people leave the space of this system and go abroad, and maybe they will be rich by working hard.&1t;/p>
The battlefield is also a very special space. When a person is unlucky, he may be choked to death if he drinks water, let alone in a special space where violence is everywhere. When he is unlucky, he goes to the battlefield, and his various dangers will be attracted to him. His personal fate is often crushed into slag.&1t;/p>
After some selection, the quota of 100,000 new troops was quickly confirmed in each border town. The selected ones were happy, while those who were not selected looked disappointed. However, the border soldiers who were not selected still ignited a fire of hope in their hearts.&1t;/p>
Since the court has trained the first batch of new troops, maybe there will be a second batch?&1t;/p>
On the other hand, Yansui Governor Zhang Zhihou and General Du Wenhuan were in trouble. The Jinyiwei, who was like a wolf and a tiger, rushed to Yulin Town and directly captured them with the imperial edict. (To be continued...)&1t;/p>
ps: The first update, there is another update before 12 o'clock!&1t;/p>&1t;/p>
