Prince of Chaos

Chapter 286
Wang Bao, the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, after receiving the news that Xing Jie, the new minister of war and governor of Jiliao, was coming to Jizhen, he immediately led his deputy commander-in-chief, generals, guerrilla generals and other military officers with titles out of Jizhen. Zhenyuanmen welcomes Xing Jie's arrival.

When Wang Bao, who was waiting outside the gate of Ji Town, saw Xing Jie's team of honor slowly appearing in front, Wang Bao immediately called everyone together, and then took the lead to stand in front of the gate and wait.

When Xing Jie's car approached, Wang Bao took the lead in saluting.

"Humble post pays respects to the general system."

Xing Jie was in the carriage when he heard the shouts of all the officials outside, and he also got out of the carriage.

Xing Jie stood in front of the carriage, looked at Wang Bao and the others, Xing Jie said: "Comrades, please stand up."

"Thank you, President."

After thanking them again, Wang Bao and the others stood up and greeted them with smiling faces.

"The general manager has worked hard all the way. The humble staff has prepared some food and drinks for you, to cleanse you up."

After Xing Jie heard Wang Bao's words, Xing Jie smiled and said: "It's hard work for Mr. Wang, but I still have Wang's order, so let's avoid the matter of receiving the wind. When you get inside, you will send all the generals and soldiers All the guerrilla generals have been called. This officer will leave the customs immediately.”

Wang Bao heard that Xing Jie was in such a hurry that he ordered troops to leave the customs without even eating a meal, which made Wang Bao a little at a loss.

Isn't this routine different from the old ones?Usually, when a new official walks through the hall, isn't it inevitable to have a meal and drink, and then get some benefits?What's wrong with this one?He didn't even eat any food.

Could it be that the food is too shabby?
Wang Bao could only think so, and at the same time he secretly ordered his subordinates to prepare another 5000 taels of silver, so that they could pay tribute to the new official, Minister of the Ministry of War and Governor of Jiliao, at any time.

Xing Jie didn't try to guess Wang Bao's extravagant thoughts. What he was thinking about now was to see what the current situation of Ji Town's soldiers and horses was like, and whether they could complete the task of aiding the Koreans and fighting against the Japanese.

The right given to him by the imperial court was to let him dispatch [-] soldiers from Jizhen to accompany him to the front line of North Korea. Therefore, after arriving at the land of Jizhen, Xing Jie's first thought was to see if the old background left by Qi Jiguang was still there. If it is there, take it away, if not, then you can only watch and choose.

In front of the gate, Xing Jie and Wang Bao did not exchange a few words, and soon Xing Jie's motorcade entered Ji Town.

After arriving at the big tent of the military camp in Ji Town, Xing Jie didn't waste any time, and immediately asked Wang Bao to beat the drums to announce that he was really going to start ordering troops and ordering generals.

Seeing Xing Jie who is so hot-tempered and resolute, Wang Bao seemed a little embarrassed.

At this time, the sudden call of troops may not gather all the soldiers in the barracks for a while.

As we all know, the foundation of the Ming army is still the weak guards.Although, after the Ministry of Civil Engineering's change, the imperial court also began to implement the recruitment system, but due to the financial situation of the imperial court, the suppression of the army by civil officials, and the resistance of the hereditary generals in the guards, this recruitment system did not have much effect until the end of the Ming Dynasty. It's been smooth, and it's been bumpy all the time.

However, it is worth mentioning that from Jiajing onwards, the Ming Dynasty’s most capable external combatants were soldiers recruited by the recruitment system, not the guard soldiers composed of military households who had been used as slaves by military leaders for generations.It can be seen from this that the real combat effectiveness of the Ming army has actually been lost after the Ministry of Civil Engineering.

Although the imperial court also thought about changing it and tried the recruitment system, but because the entanglement of interests in it was too complicated, the civil servants in the imperial court did not want a powerful army that might be out of control, so over time, the Ming army His military discipline will also be corrupted.

In the final analysis, it is still because the civilian group does not pay attention to the construction of national defense and armed force. Whether it is generals or soldiers, they look down on them from the bottom of their hearts.

To give the simplest example, the censor of the seventh rank can dictate to the commander-in-chief of the second rank.It can be seen from this, how humble the military officer's status was after Song and Ming Dynasties!

In such a humble status and discrimination, it is a bit of a dream to want the army to have combat effectiveness and executive power.

Therefore, when Xing Jie wanted to beat the drums to order soldiers, it was still very difficult for the soldiers in Ji Town to gather quickly.

Xing Jie had been sitting in the big tent for half an hour, and he had already drank three glasses of water. At this moment, there was no expression of joy or anger on his face, he just waited calmly.

On the contrary, Wang Bao and the others broke out in a cold sweat anxiously. They originally wanted to have a good meal with Xing Jie, and then give Xing Jie some money as a filial piety. When Xing Jie is happy, just do it casually. is done.

Unexpectedly, Xing Jie made a serious move as soon as he entered Ji Town, which made Wang Bao stumped.

Wang Bao looked sideways at one of his generals, and he whispered urgently: "Where is the person? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

The general also looked embarrassed, and he didn't know how to reply to Wang Bao.

However, the first rank of official rank crushes people to death, so he can only say: "I'll urge you for a humble job."

After speaking, the general wanted to leave the big tent, but when he moved, Xing Jie spoke.

Xing Jie said: "Everyone has worked hard standing up, please sit down. I have a lot of patience, so don't worry about it for a while."

After Wang Bao heard Xing Jie's words, he squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying.

Wang Bao said: "General system, why don't you go out and urge me out of your humble position?"

Xing Jie said: "No need, Ji Town is an important town guarding the capital, how can the officers and soldiers stationed in various places immediately put down their defenses and gather here because of my arrival. I will wait for them for a while."

Then, Xing Jie continued to wait, and after waiting for nearly two hours, less than a thousand soldiers gathered in front of the big tent in Ji Town and came back.

Xing Jie looked at the sun outside, and Xing Jie sighed: "It's getting dark. Let's stop here today, and I will come here to order troops tomorrow morning. I hope that General Wang can pass on the general order in advance."

When Wang Bao heard Xing Jie's words, he wiped the sweat off his brow in fright, and replied: "The humble official will definitely gather the officers and soldiers of Ji Town to the front of the account for inspection by the chief executive."

Now Wang Bao's respect for Xing Jie has reached his bones, and he unconsciously used the title of "adult".

Xing Jie ignored Wang Bao, he took Li Tiansheng by his side and went straight out of the big tent, then he glanced at the soldiers gathered on the big tent school field, seeing their sparse military appearance, Xing Jie was really disappointed.

I really didn't expect that Ji Town, which was brought by the unparalleled Qi Shaobao, has now been corrupted to this level. If, now, there are Mongolian Tartars coming to knock on the side, can they really stop these people?

Thinking of this, Xing Jie couldn't help feeling heavy again.

Li Tiansheng looked at the military discipline situation in Jizhen, and he couldn't help snorting beside Xing Jie, "The officers and soldiers of Jizhen are nothing but that."

Xing Jie looked at Li Tiansheng's arrogance, and he said: "People's hearts are not old, and the world is declining. When Qi Jiguang was here, Ji Town was not like this. I didn't expect that Ji Town has become an old man again after more than ten years. look."

Li Tiansheng said: "I would say that all the officers and soldiers in Ji Town should be replaced and replaced by a group of officers and soldiers with strict military discipline to guard this place. Otherwise, Ji Town will rot sooner or later."

Xing Jie said: "Change a group of officers and soldiers with strict military discipline? Where do you go? Where do you go? What you want to change is not the officers and soldiers, but the heads! They are all focused on getting promoted and getting rich. Even if I replace them all, the result will still be the same, even worse than now."

Li Tiansheng was not polite after hearing this, Li Tiansheng said: "You can replace it with someone from our Xishan Law Enforcement Team."

When Xing Jie heard Li Tiansheng's words, he immediately turned around and said, "Captain Li, be careful! The prince's law enforcement team is not the army of the imperial court, and Xishan does not need to take care of the affairs of the imperial court."

After Li Tiansheng listened to Xing Jie's words, he also realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.In fact, Li Tiansheng made a slip of the tongue on purpose, he just wanted to see Xing Jie's reaction, and then report back to Zhu Changluo.

After all, Zhu Changluo sent him to protect Xing Jie, not only for protection, but also for a lot of meanings.It depends on how Li Tiansheng understands and learns.

If Li Tiansheng could really learn something from Xing Jie, his future would definitely be limitless. If he followed Xing Jie only as a bodyguard, then his achievements would probably stop there.

Therefore, now Li Tiansheng especially wants to show his worth to Zhu Changluo, and let Zhu Changluo know his loyalty.
