Chapter 235 One year is coming
Establishing a new army is not easy and requires corresponding manpower.
Leaving aside military commanders, middle-level officers and civilians are all problems and can only be dealt with step by step.
Continuing to operate as usual and maintain the status quo is the best choice now.
Except for the Beijing camp, all the garrison posts in Beizhili have been reorganized and are training troops intensively.
So far, the health centers in the thirteen provinces of the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty have been reorganized in five places: North Zhili, South Zhili, Shanxi, Shandong, and Yunnan.
Coupled with the border troops, it can be said that most of the military power of the Ming Dynasty was essentially controlled by Zhu Houzhao.
The remaining guard troops in the seven provinces, not to mention the rotten problems among them, even in their heyday, were far less numerous than the border troops in the five provinces.
After all, the three areas with the largest military strength in the Ming Dynasty were North Zhili, South Zhili, and the Border Army.
Relying on the five regions and border troops, the imperial court also formed thirteen new armies and one navy army.
The number of troops reached more than half a million.
These are all professional soldiers who have retired from work. Coupled with various conditions and benefits, their combat effectiveness has been increasing.
Most of them have become real elites.
The strength of this kind of army, even without Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry, is already second only to that of Taizu and Taizong, and they are still accelerating to catch up.
Of course, the consumption of these more than 500,000 new troops is also extremely terrifying.
Military pay, military rations, weapons, armor, war horses, etc., if it had not been supplied by thousands of officials, tens of thousands of petty officials, as well as various strata in Jin and large households such as the Kong family in the past two or three years, it would have been difficult for the Ming Dynasty to provide for them.
Now, looking at the military alone, it can only be said that the pressure on the imperial court is not great.
In mid-October, Zhu Houzhao went to the Military Pavilion. After learning more about it in detail, he decided to reorganize the remaining seven guard posts in the Ming Dynasty within the next year.
In the next three years, at least ten new armies will be trained.
It doesn’t matter if the military commanders are not available. The army should be roughly trained first, and when a suitable military commander is available, he can take office directly, so that the real new army can be formed more quickly.
In late October, Yan Nantian came to Longhu Mountain and finally checked up and down Longhu Mountain.
It has been more than a month, and I must have experienced many ups and downs during this period.
After all, no matter how Longhushan takes the initiative to join the imperial court, his own strength is there, and his own strength is the greatest confidence in the world.
Longhushan has the strength and took the initiative to seek refuge, but was still thoroughly investigated.
Even a good-tempered person can't stand it.
The top management will tolerate it, but there will inevitably be some tempers among the top management.
Sometimes it can arouse the temper of senior management.
Especially when some people were arrested, their relatives and friends couldn't bear it anymore.
During this period, the middle management of Longhushan and the middle management of Jinyiwei had several quarrels and confrontations, and almost started a fight.
If Yan Nantian, Zhang Daoqi and others had not understood the seriousness of the matter and pressed hard, things would have been out of control.
But despite this, the relationship between the two sides has become increasingly cold and even hostile day by day.
When Yan Nantian personally led people to capture the first innate person in Longhu Mountain, even Zhang Daoqi found it difficult to put on a good face.
In the Xiantian Realm, no matter where they are, they are the mainstay. The Longhushan family has a great cause, and there are only nine of them, and each one is a high-level person.
By the end of October, Yan Nantian had captured two Xiantian Grandmasters from Longhu Mountain, one Xiantian Grandmaster with whom he was close, and a total of 138 others.
Officially announced the end of the thorough investigation and returned to the capital.
When he arrived, Zhang Daoqi and other senior officials from Longhu Mountain greeted him personally.
No one saw Yan Nantian and the others off when they left this time.
Looking at their eyes, most of them showed undisguised hostility.
"Sir, we have completely offended Longhushan this time.
After all, Longhushan took the initiative to join the imperial court. We are so strict, aren't we...?" Leaving Longhushan On the road to Hushan, Jiangxi Jinyiwei Qianhu said hesitantly.
"We are Jin Yiwei. Sometimes we can tolerate some irregular methods, but we will never tolerate crimes that harm the people. This is the bottom line.
No matter whether it is Longhu Mountain or not? No matter whether Longhu Mountain takes the initiative to surrender to the court or not ? No matter how strong Longhushan is?
We must never bend the law for personal gain and turn a blind eye, understand?" Yan Nantian said firmly without hesitation, and looked at it lightly. Jiangxi Jinyiwei thousands of households.
Jiangxi Jinyiwei Qianhu's heart trembled, and he immediately responded: "I understand,"
"Yes." Yan Nantian nodded, not angry, but rather understanding: "You are in Jiangxi, and Longhu Mountain has a huge influence in Jiangxi, so it is inevitable to be worried.
But don't be afraid, you have to remember that behind you is the entire Imperial Guard, His Majesty.
As long as you don’t bend the law for personal gain, what can Longhu Mountain do? "
"Yes, I will obey your instructions. "Jiangxi Jinyiwei Qianhu looked shocked and immediately said seriously.
" Without further ado, I will take them back to Beijing first and wait for His Majesty's decision. "Yan Nantian didn't say much and took the people back to the capital.
After Yan Nantian left, Longhu Mountain.
Zhang Daoqi and other senior officials from Longhu Mountain were there.
Except for the Grand Master at the extreme realm, Zhang Daoqi and Zhang Minglin, two powerful Grand Masters, the remaining seven innate masters gathered together.
Everyone’s face was solemn and not pretty.
"Senior Brother, is it really hopeless?" A Xiantian Grandmaster looked at Zhang Daoqi pleadingly.
Others are also intolerant and even angry.
Because among the people who were arrested, there were their senior brothers and their descendants.
"From Jin, to the clan, to the Kong family, anyone who has harmed the common people, has your majesty spared anyone?" Zhang Daoqi's face was not good-looking either.
Not only the people Yan Nantian took away, but also the people he had clearly ordered to conduct a thorough investigation up and down Longhu Mountain.
I didn’t expect that so many people have done this kind of thing. The two of them were involved in the Xiantian Realm.
When everyone present heard this, they all fell silent, full of helplessness, and they all knew it.
No one was spared.
Including the Ming royal family, even uncles.
Although I was still angry, I couldn't say anything else.
The emperor is strong enough and fair enough.
What can be said?
You have to keep resentment in your heart.
“Now I can only hope that His Majesty can spare their lives and atone for their sins.” Zhang Daoqi sighed.
Everyone was silent and could only hope so.
“There is nothing we can do about this matter, but next—” Zhang Daoqi looked solemn, glanced at everyone one by one, and said with great seriousness: “We are already members of the imperial court, no matter who we are. Do not violate Ming law.
I hope everyone can learn from what happened this time and never let it happen again.
Otherwise, Longhu Mountain would be really ruined in His Majesty’s heart. "
Everyone felt solemn and nodded.
"Okay, get ready. We will go to the capital in five days and officially take office. ”
····
On November 6th, Yan Nantian and others arrived in the capital at about the same time as Longhushan and others.
Zhu Houzhao also met them at the same time.
Without any scruples, Yan Nantian calmly reported the details of the case in front of Zhang Daoqi and others.
Zhu Houzhao listened very seriously, with a murderous look in his eyes.
When Yan Nantian's voice fell, Zhang Daoqi immediately apologized and said: "Longhu Mountain's discipline is not strict, please punish me."
"Are you sure it has nothing to do with anyone else?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Yan Nantian and asked directly.
"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter." Yan Nantian shook his head.
"Since it has nothing to do with anyone else, I won't punish you, but remember, it won't happen again in the future." Zhu Houzhao turned to Zhang Daoqi and said solemnly.
"Yes, I will never let this happen again." Zhang Daoqi said firmly.
"Those people should be dealt with according to the law. Those who should be killed should be killed, but if they are not worthy of killing, then let them abolish their martial arts and go to work." Zhu Houzhao said without hesitation.
"Yes." Yan Nantian responded.
Zhang Daoqi sighed inwardly and didn't say much.
Subsequently, Zhu Houzhao officially promoted Yan Nantian to the commanding officer of Jinyiwei.
The positions of everyone in Longhu Mountain are also as originally agreed.
Zhang Daoqi became the Superintendent of Qin Tian Jian, another great master joined the Martial Arts Hall, and three Xiantian Realm members joined the Jinyi Guards.
After everything was settled, the situation in Longhu Mountain spread quickly.
As the first major force to officially join the imperial court, the situation in Longhu Mountain has always been watched by all the forces in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty.
When they saw two Xiantian realms being captured, one beheaded, the other abolished martial arts, and more than a hundred people ended up with the same outcome, many people were frightened.
Full of resistance to joining the imperial court.
Including the forces of Wulin Zhengdao, including Wudang and Shaolin, there have been some dissatisfied and worried comments.
Regardless of whether people from Longhu Mountain committed serious crimes, some people thought the imperial court was too chilling.
Many people find it difficult to accept.
Especially those who are already in trouble.
But no matter what they think, if the people at the top don't move, they can't do much more.
This is a world where great power belongs to individuals.
Moreover, with the addition of Longhu Mountain, the imperial court's strength has become significantly stronger, and its power has increased by half a level.
No matter who it is, no one dares to move lightly.
Time flies and December is here.
Guo Bujing finally took the lead in returning to the capital by sea with Yang Gong's treasury and those talents.
Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed and immediately met with Guo Bujing. He also went to meet with those talents immediately, comforted them with a few words, and asked them to settle down.
"Your Majesty, this time we obtained a total of 10.27 million taels of silver from Duke Yang's treasury.
The armor and weapons are all of the highest quality, enough to equip 20,000 people." Guo Bujing began to report. .
"There is not much silver, but there are a lot of weapons and armor." Zhu Houzhao nodded and was not disappointed.
The situation in Yang Gong’s treasury is well known to the top brass of the Ming Dynasty.
No matter how rich and powerful Yang Su was back then, Yang Jian was still there.
The treasure Yang Su built cannot be too big, otherwise it would be impossible to hide it from Yang Jian.
Of course, this number is already quite large, enough for the court to make bigger moves next year.
Guo Bujing continued to report on those talents.
Twenty generals at the peak acquired level, and eighty skilled doctors and craftsmen each.
Zhu Houzhao was also looking at the list in his hand at will.
