Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 174 The whole army is 30!Point will seal the official!

The next day.

The morning of the second day of September.

Auntie Zhu summoned officials of the fourth rank and above in Chengdu, as well as military and political officials of the Jianguofu, to the Chengyun Hall to discuss and formally announce her appointment as the Jianguo inside and outside Sichuan.

This matter is not as simple as announcing a message to Sichuan and other places still under the control of Ming Dynasty.

It is necessary to consider the possible reactions of various parties, and there are many specific situations that need to be discussed.

After all, although she was ordered by Chongzhen to oversee the country, she was a princess and not a prince.

As for the words "God's heart, bestowed with supernatural powers", normal people would just take it as a joke before witnessing it with their own eyes.

Just sending a messenger to ask local officials and generals to recognize her as a prison country with such reasons will only cause resentment and contempt.

You know, even if they sent people to win over Zeng Ying and Yang Zhan, the two famous generals, Li Zhenwu and Gao Shengqi also brought a portable lamp, and it took a lot of talk to win the trust.

Therefore, whether it was when Aimee Zhu moved into the Shu Palace and first took control of Chengdu City, or when Aimee Zhu defeated Zhang Xianzhong and surrendered the Western Army in early August, Aimee Zhu and all the civil and military officials under her command did not mention "notifying the princess supervisors inside and outside Sichuan". country" matter.

Occasionally, officials below wanted to take credit for this matter, but they were all suppressed by the Jian Guofu.

Now, the time to do this has finally come.

The main reason is that the reorganization of the army has achieved initial results, and the Jian Guofu has basically mastered the 32 Great Western Army that had previously surrendered.

Of course, after the reorganization, there were not so many Great Western Army that were actually incorporated into the battle order.

First of all, the other three battalions of the Yulin Army, Zhu Yu's pro-army, are full except for the Zhuque Battalion.

The number of female soldiers in the Suzaku Battalion also reached 330.

Therefore, the Royal Forest Army currently has 20330 people.

It is worth mentioning that although the Suzaku Camp is not fully manned, its equipment is quite luxurious.

In terms of armor, everyone has a set of women's soft bulletproof vests from later generations, plus a set of fiery red armor with fine cloth face armor, arm guards, knee pads, and leg guards, and a plume ear helmet (general helmet).

Of course, the steel helmets are still being manufactured at present, and it is estimated that the delivery of the steel helmets will not be possible until the steel output of the iron factory increases.

In terms of weapons, each person is equipped with a willow-leaf steel knife with a total length of three feet and three feet, and an excellent hand crossbow that can shoot five arrows in a row.

Most importantly, each person will also be equipped with two flintlock pistols!

Such weapons and armor are definitely considered to be extremely sophisticated in the current Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that with the productivity of the power that Aimee Zhu has now, she can only have a small amount of equipment.

For example, the excellent hand crossbow that shoots five arrows in a row is very skillful, and many steel parts are used in it. It has been around since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but it has not been able to be deployed in large numbers.

Apart from its range and single-shot power being lower than normal crossbow bolts, the biggest reason is that it is too expensive to equip.

It has always been only used as the equipment of the personal guards and confidantes of a few dignitaries.

Another example is the short pistol, although it is more powerful than the hand crossbow, it is equally difficult to make.

At present, Aimee Zhu's Suzaku camp has not been able to reach one handle per person, and if they want two handles per person as required, it may take a few months.

As for the other three battalions, except for the Shenji Battalion, which only had 4000 bright-style flintlock guns, which was more than [-] shots short, the other equipment was barely available.

Of course, the Huben army only uses fine mail armor and cloth face armor. If you want to wear plate armor, you have to wait for the relevant equipment at the iron factory and arsenal to be completed...
The Imperial Guard also organized three military towns as planned, and one of them was an all-cavalry military town, with a total of 36000 people.

Among them, the main soldiers are at least at the elite level of the Daxi Army and the official army, and the auxiliary soldiers are at least at the level of soldiers who dare to fight.

And because of restrictive screenings such as age, the overall quality of the soldiers is much better than the previous elite and brave soldiers.

After the Imperial Guards, the border guards reorganized into five military towns, with a total of 6 people.

Although the overall quality of the soldiers of the border guards is not as good as that of the imperial guards, it is basically based on the standard that the main soldiers are the former elite and the auxiliary soldiers are the former brave soldiers.

Excluding the auxiliary soldiers in the first battle order of the Imperial Forest Army, Imperial Guard Army, and Frontier Defense Army, the original [-] elite soldiers were actually incorporated.

The original Daxi Army surrendered troops and the Chengdu Front Army had a total of 14 elite soldiers, but after reorganization, it shrunk by [-] to [-].

Moreover, some elites must be reserved for the garrison responsible for guarding the place behind as the backbone of the team.

Otherwise, the border guards could at least create another military town.

As for the local garrison belonging to the second battle order, there are currently eight military towns temporarily organized, with a total of 96000 people.

Basically, they are composed of a small number of elite soldiers and soldiers who dare to fight. Compared with other Ming army and ordinary Dashun army, they can be called elite.

As for the Gongtun army, there are currently only eight military towns, with a total of 96000 people.

In other words, after this major reorganization, the original 40 troops under the Jian Guo Mansion were reduced to about 30.

The reason why [-] people were able to be screened out was not only that the reorganization had higher requirements on the quality of the soldiers, but another reason was that most of the former Sichuan soldiers of the Great Western Army chose to return to their hometowns to serve the people.

Although the treatment of the army under the Supervisory Mansion is quite good, the concept of "good men don't serve as soldiers, and good irons don't nail" is still deeply rooted among ordinary people.

In addition, Sichuan was regarded as an area that was relatively less affected by natural disasters in the late Ming Dynasty. If there were no continuous military disasters and the oppression of local evil gentry and local tyrants and the government, ordinary people could still live a small life.

Now that the Great West Army has been defeated, Sichuan will also be pacified, and will be under the jurisdiction of Zhu Yuxi's Jian Guofu, and peace can be expected.

Those "Sichuan soldiers" who were either coerced or forced to join the Great Western Army naturally wanted to return to their hometowns and live in peace as ordinary people tending the fields.

This is also a good thing for the Jian Guofu.

After all, the Jian Guo Mansion's strategy for raising troops is different from that of Zhang Xianzhong and other bandits.

The Jian Guo Mansion pursues a policy of elite soldiers, and every soldier must pay money and food as a military salary. The more troops, the better.

You know, before the great chaos in the late Ming Dynasty, Sichuan was considered half of the frontier, and it was necessary to frequently suppress the rebellious chieftains and occasional peasant uprisings.

Even so, the total army in Sichuan at that time was estimated to be around [-].

Now Aimee Zhu needs to use Sichuan as the foundation to pacify the world, so she has assembled 30 soldiers.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it would not be cost-effective to support so many troops in one province.

What's more, now Aimee Zhu actually controls only Chengdu Mansion, Tongchuan, and Baoning, and at most, Qiongzhou, which Li Dingguo has just entered for a few days.

In terms of area, it is estimated to be one-seventh of the whole Sichuan at this time.

In addition, there are many other Ming armies, Daxi armies, and other bandit armies in other places.

The specific situation of these forces is what Zhu Yuxi, Li Yan and others need to understand and confirm today.

···
Carrier Hall.

"See Prison State!"

"Zhu Qing is flat."

"Thank you Jianguo!"

More than a dozen people in the hall knelt down and paid homage to Auntie Zhu, and then they were divided into two columns according to the left and the right.

There are five people on Wenchen's side.

The governor of Sichuan, Long Wenguang, ranked first, and Li Yan was second.

Behind them are Zhang Jimeng, Liu Linchang, and Liu Zhibo.

Apart from Zhang Jimeng, who was formally appointed by Auntie Zhu as the Inspectorate of Sichuan Province (originally the deputy), Liu Linchang and Liu Zhibo were actually not up to the fourth rank, and could only be counted as important officials.

There are six people on the military commander's side.

The following are Hong Niangzi, Ma Ke, Liu Zhenfan, Zeng Ying, Liu Wenxiu, and Yang Zhan.

As for Cao Xun and Ai Nengqi, they were almost ineligible in the reorganized army and were not able to attend this meeting.

"A few days ago, Governor Long suggested that Sichuan should be formally notified of the matter of the palace's supervision of the country. Since the reorganization of the army had achieved initial results, the palace called all the ministers to discuss it. After all, this matter is complicated and of great importance.

However, before discussing this matter, I would like to talk about the appointment of the generals of each army after the reorganization.

The decree of the official appointment will be issued after the meeting, so let Fei Sibu read it first. "

After hearing what Aimee Zhu said, all the civil servants acted as if they were old gods and had nothing to do with themselves.

Except for the red lady, the expressions of the generals changed significantly, either excited or nervous, with anticipation in their eyes.

Fei Zhen'e, who was standing on the side of the steps, spoke. The format of the will was a bit strange, but it was integrated into the speech habits of many later generations.

"By God's will, in the name of the Ming Dynasty, I hereby appoint Hong Niangzi as the admiral of the Imperial Guards and the chief officer of the first town of the Imperial Guards.

Appoint Liu Wenxiu as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Second Town of the Imperial Guard Army, temporarily acting as the commander-in-chief.

Appointed Marco as the commander-in-chief of the third town (cavalry town) of the Imperial Guard, and added the title of governor of the left.

Liu Zhenfan was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the first town of the frontier defense army.

Zeng Ying was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the second town of the border guards.

Yang Zhan was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of the third town of the frontier defense army, temporarily acting as the commander-in-chief.

Li Dingguo was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the fourth town of the border defense army.

Bai Wenxuan, Feng Shuangli, Wang Shangli, Ma Yuanli, Zhang Hualong, and Li Ren were appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of the garrison towns in Chengdu, Chongqing, Tongchuan, Shunqing, Kuizhou, and Baoning, and they were temporarily acting as commander-in-chief. job.

In addition, Dong Qiongying was appointed as the general of the Zhuque Battalion of the Yulin Army, and Ai Nengqi was appointed as the general of the Xiaoqi Battalion of the Yulin Army. "

At this point, Fei Zhen'e finished reading.

There are too many other generals under the chief generals of each army, it would take too much time for her to recite, and Zhu Yuxi did not let her recite.

In addition, it must be mentioned that because Cao Xun is more suitable to be a cavalry general, and because the Cao family has been the commander of the Lizhou appeasement department for generations, and belongs to the local chieftain who needs to be suppressed, he was appointed by Zhu Yuxi as the cavalry commander of the Imperial Guard. A battalion of generals.

In addition, there is one border guard army town and two garrison army towns that are still undergoing training, and there are no suitable people to use them, so there is no chief general for the time being.

The Huben Battalion and Shenji Battalion of the Yulin Army also failed to find a suitable leader, and the soldiers were all commanded by their deputy.

Under Hao Guangming's suggestion, Zhu Yuxi planned to select a few people from the local generals to join the new army system under the Jian Guofu after getting to know other local generals in Sichuan through this meeting.

The names of the six generals in the Chengyun Palace were all read, so they came out together, saluted Aunt Zhu and said in unison: "Your servant, please take orders!"

These people are at least deputy generals, and there is no need to call themselves the last generals in front of Zhu Yuxi, they are decent enough to call themselves "ministers".

After these generals returned to the ranks, Zhu Wei said in a clear and melodious voice: "Although the matter of my palace supervising the country has not been officially circulated to other places before, but it has been so long, and the prefectures in Sichuan Province should have received some news.

Now although I have defeated Zhang Xianzhong and now have an army of 30 to [-], the people in the local area are still the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty. If I officially announce the matter of supervising the country, I still need to consider how these people will react.

If anyone knows something about the chief officials and generals in other places in Sichuan, why not tell them.

By the way, in order to make it easier for the ministers to have a more specific understanding of the situation in Sichuan, I have here a volume of maps of the later generations of Sichuan Chengxuan Political Commissioner.

Due to time constraints, this picture may be slightly wrong, but overall it is still accurate and credible, so I will show it to you as a reference. "

After finishing speaking, Auntie Zhu looked at Fei Zhen'e.

Fei Zhen'e understood immediately, and signaled to the two imperial guards serving as bodyguards in the hall to carry a screen to His Majesty the steps in the center of the hall.

When everyone looked around, they saw a large map with a length of one zhang and a width of seven or eight feet hanging on the screen. It was indeed the Sichuan administrative map of the Ming Dynasty.

Long Wenguang and the others couldn't help stretching their necks to take a closer look.

I saw that the map was densely covered with lines, and the handwriting was numb, but they were all clearly legible. It was indeed more detailed and beautiful than any map they had seen before.
