At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 13 Jin Yiwei Yuan Bin

After Kuang Ye and others left, there were only a group of generals left in the tent, waiting for the next instruction.

These people are all after meritorious service, such as Zhang Fu and Chen Ying, who personally followed Emperor Taizong in the southern and northern wars, and made great military exploits.

Zhu Qizhen looked at them and felt very kind.

Professionals do professional things, even in wars, veterans look reliable.

Next, it's time to assign tasks.

"British Duke!"

"Chen is here!"

"I ordered you to straighten out the troops overnight. Tomorrow morning, the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled and the wounded will be withdrawn to the capital first. What I need are elite soldiers who can fight tough battles, not to make up numbers!"

Zhang Fu cupped his hands and said, "Old minister obeys the order!"

"Taining Marquis Chen Ying!"

Chen Ying stepped forward immediately: "The minister is here!"

"I ordered you to aim all the cannons at the east bank of the river before dawn. If the other party forcibly crosses the river, launch a long-range attack as soon as they come ashore. This time, you don't need to wait for orders. I will give you the right to make your own decisions."

Chen Ying nodded and said, "I obey the order!"

Zhu Qizhen turned his gaze, and ordered: "Ping Xiang Bo Chen Huai!"

Chen Huai was very excited, and hurried forward: "The minister is here!"

"You take 500 people, and dig a hole every other step at the position of two hundred to one hundred steps in front of the camp, and it's only this big."

With that said, Zhu Qizhen picked up a branch at random, and dug a hole the size of a bowl in the ground.

Chen Huai scratched his head and asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, are you going to dig a horse pit? This pit is too small..."

Zhu Qizhen interrupted him, and said seriously: "Remember, it can't be too big or too small. You must dig the hole strictly according to the size of the hole!"

Although Chen Huai was a little confused, he still nodded and said: "I obey the order!"

He was short-tempered, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and led someone to dig a hole.

Zhu Qizhen took a glance and asked, "How many horses were captured today?"

As soon as he heard the emperor asking this, Zhang Fu suddenly regained his spirits.

"Back to the emperor, a total of more than [-] horses were captured, and they were all strong horses, not counting the wounded ones!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "Select [-] soldiers who are good at riding and shooting from the Fifth Army Battalion, and I will reorganize the [-] Battalion!"

Zhang Fu, however, looked troubled and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, can the reorganization of the [-] Battalion be postponed? The Fifth Army Battalion is mainly composed of infantry, and their cavalry and archery skills are not good enough. If they are reorganized into cavalry in a hurry, there will be no time at all." Training, the veteran is worried that the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!"

Zhu Qizhen didn't think so. He shook his head lightly and said, "Actual combat is the best training. When they come out of this battle, I can guarantee that the combat effectiveness of the new [-] Battalion will be stronger than the original one." The Three Thousand Battalion is only strong but not weak!"

Zhang Fu thought for a while, and then said, "The new commander of the Three Thousand Battalion..."

Zhu Qizhen took a glance and asked, "Which Qing family can take on this important task?"

At this moment, Uncle Li Zhen of Xiangcheng stood up and said, "Your servant, Li Zhen, begs for your life!"

Among these feats, Li Zhen was the youngest, only in her early 30s. His grandfather Li Jun was one of the famous ministers of Jingnan, and his father Li Long accompanied the army in the Northern Expedition to Mongolia many times, and was highly regarded by Emperor Taizong.

In the 12th year of Zhengtong, Li Long died of illness, and Li Zhen took over the title. Now he is in his prime and eager to make contributions. Now when he heard about the opportunity, he stood up without even thinking about it.

Zhu Qizhen saw that this man was tall and strong, he looked like a titan, and most importantly, he had a positive attitude, and he was very satisfied.

"Very good! The New Three Thousand Battalion will be temporarily handed over to Li Qing's family!"

Li Zhen hurriedly replied: "I will not disgrace my mission!"

"Chen Xun, Uncle Sui'an, Shen Rong, Uncle Xiuwu, you two assist Uncle Xiangcheng to select candidates. I will see the New Three Thousand Battalion tomorrow morning!"

Chen Xun and Shen Rong bowed together and said: "I obey the order!"

"Report!"

At this time, a Jin Yiwei hurried to the tent.

"Report to the emperor that a large group of Oirat cavalry was found on the west bank of the Guishui River, and they are suspected to be the main force of the first army!"

"Oh?" Zhu Qizhen asked casually, "In the dark night, how can you be sure that the people who come will be the main force first?"

"Back to the emperor, I'm just speculating."

Zhu Qizhen immediately became interested in this person and asked, "What's your name?"

"Weichen Jinyiwei Xiaoqi Yuan Bin!"

"Tell me, how did you speculate? What is your basis?"

Facing the emperor's questioning, Yuan Bin did not panic, but replied indifferently: "The first is the number of people. Although the sky is too dark, it can be seen from the number of enemy torches that this army has tens of thousands of troops, and they are steadily increasing. It keeps increasing."

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and asked again: "You just said one, what else?"

"Second, it's timing!"

Yuan Bin continued: "Our army was already surrounded by the Yexian and Ala tribes. The emperor's surprise attack on the Ala tribe was to catch the Wala people by surprise. At this time, Yexian should have reacted."

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and then asked: "The two things you said make sense, but they are all conjectures."

Yuan Bin was neither humble nor overbearing, and replied: "The minister has already said it, it's just speculation."

For some reason, Zhu Qizhen felt that this person was unusual. As a low-level officer of Jinyiwei, he behaved very self-cultivated, without the recklessness of a military officer at all.

"Have you ever read a book?"

"Back to the emperor, I have been studying literature since I was a child, and I have read some books."

Zhu Qizhen was even more puzzled, and asked: "Since you are a scholar, why didn't you take the imperial examination, but became a Jinyiwei?"

"Because of my status as a military household, I was orthodox for four years. My father resigned because of illness, and my minister took his place as the school guard. Afterwards, I made some contributions. Thanks to the grace of God, I was promoted to Xiaoqi."

Zhu Qizhen nodded secretly. In this era, the father is a military household, and the son must also be a military household. There is no second way to go.

This is the household registration system established by the Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, which divides the people of the world into categories and strictly stipulates them.

The purpose of this establishment at the beginning was to maintain the stability of all walks of life. For example, a military household, his son must take over his position, otherwise, no one would want to be a soldier. Who would fight?

Another example is farmers, who have to make a living by farming for generations. If you throw your hoe and go to work in the city, who will plant the land and pay the grain?
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to implement the household registration system had a specific historical background.

In the early Ming Dynasty, due to successive years of wars, the land was barren, the population dropped sharply, and social productivity was seriously insufficient.

In order to restore agricultural production and replenish the source of soldiers, household stickers and yellow books were introduced. I have to say that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages at the beginning.

However, with the passage of time, the household registration system has deeply restricted the communication and development of the entire society, thus becoming an important factor in the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath and put his thoughts back. If he wanted to make a change, at least he had to wait until he returned to Beijing safely.

The most urgent task is how to resist Yexian's 12 troops.

As for this Yuan Bin, well, why does this name feel familiar?

Yuan Bin...

Suddenly, Zhu Qizhen's expression changed drastically!

Yuan Bin?

Could it be that Yuan Bin?
