Chapter 115 Jiangxi next

After explaining these, Zhang Gongyan began to use the array diagram to explain the use of Spanish phalanx and the changes in various situations. Tianlai novels and wws These are specially studied by the Staff Office since the Battle of Yushan. Although it is simple, the generals present quickly realized what the advantages of this formation was against the Ming army.

"Because the Lumi guns equipped by our army are significantly better than the bird guns of the Tartars in terms of power and range, they were forced to attack with hand-to-hand combat troops in both battles, rather than using firearms to continuously shoot the battle formations when our army advances, so what we see is hand-to-hand combat."

"According to the deduction of the General Staff and the demonstration of the surrendered soldiers, the formation is better than the formation used by our army..."

The Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have always been at a disadvantage in the number and quality of cavalry when facing the Qing army. On the one hand, it was to adjust the cavalry tactics, on the other hand, it was to use the terrain and fortifications as much as possible, and on the last, it was to spread the pressure of guarding cavalry to the firearm team, and use the continuous shooting of the firearm team under the cover of the melee infantry to reduce the threat of the Qing cavalry and gain time for the frontal melee infantry to defeat the opponent.

Nowadays, with the increase in seizures, the cavalry is about to form a scale, and the infantry array has revealed problems, so adjustment has become inevitable.

"From now on, the Training Department will start training the firearm team against the rats under the long spear, and the weapons will be temporarily equipped with waist knives."

"Does the firearm team that belongs to the Mandarin Duck Formation need to train this?"

In the melee battle stage, the spear formation will suffer in the rat battle against the Spanish phalanx, but when the mandarin duck formation faces the Spanish phalanx, the long soldiers will suffer in the attack. The musketeers who kill under the spears are basically here to die, and this problem does not exist.

"Training is needed to prevent problems before they happen."

Chen Wen took over the problem and set a tone for this. Naturally, the officer in charge of the Military Training Department would not argue with Zhang Gongyan. Zhang Gongyan continued to explain some other training tasks.

After explaining the Spanish phalanx and a series of training tasks, Zhang Gongyan gave Chen Wen a flat-breasted ceremony to the officers attending the meeting, and returned to his own seat, while Chen Wen began to explain the adjustment of the army's organization.

"The battle camp of our Jiangsu and Zhejiang Kings Division is the head of the mixed army of infantry and cavalry and artillery workers. Each battalion has four infantry bureaus, two of which are long spear formations, and two are the mandarin duck formations. Each bureau is equipped with four tiger squat cannons and one Folang machine cannon. The battalion directly under the artillery team is four Folang machine cannons and four Tonghuans. The battalion directly under the cavalry team is two squadrons, two hundred cavalry. The battalion directly under the engineering team is fifty. In addition to the tutors, staff, flag-and-drums, military doctors, ambulance rescuers, knights, grooms, etc., the battalion has a total of 2,377 people."

This organization was the result of several rounds of small-scale expansion. The main infantry remained unchanged, and was still organized by four bureaus. The organization was always expanded by cavalry, engineers and artillery, and other battalion affiliated personnel.

The generals present were aware of these things, and after Chen Wen said all this, he immediately announced the results of the expansion.

"The adjustment of each battalion is as follows. From now on, the four infantry bureaus of each battalion will remain unchanged, the long spear formation will be expanded to three, and the Yuanyang formation will be reduced to one. The artillery teams under the bureau will add one Folang machine cannon, and the artillery teams under the battalion will add four Folang machine cannons and four copper blemishes. The cavalry of the battalion will be expanded from two squadrons to four squadrons, and the engineering teams under the battalion will be expanded to one hundred people. The grenade brigade will be increased by 100 people. The personnel of other battalion will be increased by 100 according to the document of the expansion order in September 8th year of Yongli. After the expansion, the total of 2,905 people will be added to the battalion."

The original 2,300 people per battalion were close to the standard of the surprise barracks, and the current 2,900 people are about to restore the organization of the regular barracks. And this is not over yet.

"Due to the need for large-scale field command, from now on, the first-level division will be established above the battalion. "Shuozi" mentioned: The division has 2,500 troops as the division. This is the military system of the Zhou Dynasty. Each division of our army has three combat barracks and one cavalry battalion. Two infantry bureaus directly under the jurisdiction of the Yuanyang formation. The direct artillery team is equipped with four mortar cannons and four red barrack cannons. Two hundred people are directly under the jurisdiction of the cavalry team. One hundred people are directly under the jurisdiction of the engineering team. The entire division has more than one thousand people."

Tens of thousands of people are boundless. The huge organization has suppressed everyone present and made them feel excited.

Four years ago, on Dalan Mountain, the Nantang Camp, which had only a few hundred people at that time, has been in the present day, and it is also an army of tens of thousands of iron armor. Before that, it was a little unsatisfied with the battalion, but with the establishment of this new organization, the overall momentum was completely different.

This is just a feeling. Although it is not possible to add a new layer of troops to produce more soldiers, it sounds like there are many battalions and divisions, even if the numbers calculated in the end are the same, they are completely different in terms of feeling.

There is nothing we can do about it. When Chen Wen had only eight eastern prefectures in Zhejiang, he only faced two major directions - Hangzhou and Guangxin Prefecture. The distance between them was enough for him to quickly draw troops to rush for assistance. But now, half of the four southeastern provinces are in his hands. With the increase of opponents, the number of combat directions that need to be faced has also increased, and the command organization has to be expanded to cope with the next situation.

"The specific personnel positions will be announced in the next one or two months. Our army now has only thirteen combat barracks, one cavalry battalion and one cavalry battalion. If we want to form a brand new organization, there is a long way to go."

The senior leaders in the army basically know which battalion commander can be promoted one step ahead of others. After all, there are only a few candidates.

"In addition, the garrisons of each prefecture and county also need to be further adjusted. Each county will distribute troops according to the situation in various places. Each prefecture is no longer limited to the defense of the prefecture and the county, and needs to expand its organization as a mobile force. In this way, our army's combat barracks can completely become mobile forces in various strategic directions, rather than being limited to the coordinated defense tasks of each place."

……………………

Expanding is the top priority of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang today. Not only the 6th Army, but also the Navy. The original Zhejiang Inland Water Division has been on the defensive position in recent years and was once nicknamed the training base of the water camp.

This is a matter of no choice. In recent years, Chen Wen has been on a defensive position against the northern front, and he cannot overcome the natural danger of Qiantang River for the time being. It is not that he cannot kill, but that the situation he needs to face after killing is difficult to deal with with his military strength in recent years.

As a result, the Inland River Navy was on the defensive position and some personnel were assigned to participate in the formation of the Zhejiang Coastal Cruise Navy. Now, with the restoration of Jiangxi, the establishment of the Poyang Lake Navy is also imperative.

The Poyang Lake Navy's base will be temporarily located in Raozhou. When the fortress in Jiujiang area is completed, some ships will be divided into assisted defense, so as to achieve the strategic goal of cutting off the Yangtze River route.

These cannot be accomplished overnight, and all of them will take time to achieve their goals. In the following days, with the investigation team's successive return, Chen Wen also gained a further understanding of the situation in Jiangxi.

"According to the records of the Jiangxi Command and Commander Office, the Jiangxi province includes four guards including Nanchang Wei, Yuanzhou Wei, Ganzhou Wei, Jiujiang Wei, Ji'an, Raozhou, Anfu, Huichang, Yongxin, Nan'an, Jianchang, Fuzhou, Qianshan, Guangxin, Xinfeng, etc., all of which are under the jurisdiction of the former military governor's office."

"Foreign Army Governor's Office?"

“That’s right.”

During the Ming Dynasty, the Five Army Governor's Office could be understood as the division of five war zones. In addition to Zhejiang and part of the Beijing Guard Office, the Left Army Governor's Office, also was responsible for the command and command offices in Shandong and Liaodong. The Former Army Governor's Office was in charge of the command and command offices in the capital, including the command and command offices in the capital, Longxiang Guard, Baotao Guard, and the command and command offices in Huguang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Fujian Xingdu Office, Huguang Xingdu Office, Xingdu Office and other guards, as well as the Jiujiang Guard of Zhili and the Former Army Governor's Office rather than the command and command offices in Jiangxi.

Chen Wen claimed to be the hereditary 100 households of the Right Guard in Tianjin. Logically speaking, he should have been the position of the Governor's Office of the Later Army. Previously, because he was in Zhejiang, the Lu Jianguo appointed the Governor's Office of the Left Army. After the change to the Guifan, it was naturally continued.

Needless to say, Zhejiang is the governor's office of the Left Army, but Jiangxi is not within his jurisdiction. Although the military system has long been corrupt, some things still require certain statements in name.

"I've made up this matter."

At the beginning of the country, the land occupied by the garrison occupied nearly half of the country's land. By abolishing the old garrison and establishing a new garrison, Chen Wen distributed the old authority and heritage of the garrison to the civil service group and the military, achieving perfect cooperation between the two sides in expansion from the inside to the outside.

The old garrisons in the eight eastern Zhejiang prefectures have been completely abolished, while the new garrisons are institutions similar to the People's Armed Forces Department, but their authority is greater. The abolition of the old garrisons in Jiangxi will also begin, but compared to Zhejiang, Jiangxi has another problem, that is, the royal palace.

"According to the investigation, there are Ningwang, Huaiwang and Yiwang in Jiangxi Province, three vassals, who are in Nanchang, Raozhou and Jianchang respectively. At the same time, there are Ningfu Yiwei Department, Huaifu Yiwei Department, Yiwei Department, Huaifu Yiwei Department, Huaifu Animal Husbandry Office, Yifu Animal Husbandry Office and other wards..."

Zhu Zhanji, the King of Huaijing, was the seventh son of Zhu Gaochi, the Ming Renzong of Emperor Hongxi. He was granted the title in the 22nd year of Yongle. In the fourth year of Xuande, he became a vassal of Shaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong, and moved to Raozhou Prefecture, Jiangxi in the first year of Zhengtong. He was considered a relatively early vassal king. Zhu Youbin, the King of Yiduan, was the sixth son of Zhu Jianshen, the Ming Xianzong of Emperor Chenghua. He was granted the title in the 23rd year of Chenghua. In the eighth year of Hongzhi, he became a vassal king of Jianchang Prefecture, Jiangxi in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

The origins and subsequent history of these two royal palaces are relatively simple, and they are nothing more than the pig farming model of the old Zhu family. In comparison, it is far from comparable to the Ning Prince's Mansion, which was the first to be vassal of Jiangxi.

King Ning Zhu Quan was the vassal king who borrowed the three guards of Duoyan during the Jingnan period of the Ming Dynasty. After the Jingnan period, the unkind Zhu Di directly moved King Ning to Nanchang in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and Quan regarded it as fulfilling the promise of dividing the world in the middle of the Yangtze River.

In this regard, the Ning Wang, who had been under Zhu Quan, was obviously very dissatisfied with this. It was unrealistic to divide the world into the world, but compared to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the Daning side had military power and foreign brothers, rather than prisoners in Nanchang City. Therefore, in the 14th year of Zhengde, Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao rebelled, and his army claimed to be 100,000, swept northern Jiangxi and went straight to Nanjing. As a result, the rebellion lasted for 43 days and was suppressed by Wang Shouren, the governor of Nangan, who was the master of the mind, Wang Yangming.

After Zhu Chenhao was executed, the Ning Prince's Mansion was abolished. After two Ning Prince's rulers, the eight county prince's mansions under the Ning Prince's Mansion were divided into three and handed over to Yiyang, Jian'an and Le'an.

"…The Three Feudatories of Jiangxi have land and industries in Guangxi, Jiangxi, but most of these things have now been occupied by officials of the Capitol and the Capitol."

"But we can find out who has taken it?"

When you hear the sound, you will know the elegance. In addition to the land enfeoffed by the emperor, the royal palaces of the Ming Dynasty also invested extensive industries in the local area. The land passed through the prefectures and the profitable industries were also trying their best to gain the benefits. The provinces in the vassal states were the biggest local tyrants. The civil servants in charge of the investigation swallowed their saliva, not only because of the hugeness of these industries, but more importantly, Chen Wen's appetite.

"Reporting to the Grand Marshal, the situation of Nanchang and the surrounding prefectures has been cleared, and the other prefectures have not been thoroughly understood for the time being."

After looking through the reports sent by the investigation team, the situation in Ningfan and Huaifan was already in a rough situation, while the Yiwang Mansion was still a little vague. But even so, the industry investigated was enough to make him dumbfounded.

In fact, this is normal. King Fu was granted 20,000 hectares of fertile land. King Fu Zhu Changxun resigned for fear of the turbulent discussions. In addition, Emperor Wanli also rewarded the confiscated property of Zhang Juzheng, the miscellaneous taxes from Jiangdu to Taiping River, the salt taxes and tea taxes from Sichuan, and the franchise of 1,300 Huai salt and salt in Luoyang every year, which was not considered the plundering of the post-vassal.

Of course, the rewards of these three vassal kings in Jiangxi cannot be compared with those of King Fu, but the Fu Palace was destroyed by a generation of kung fu, but these three thrones have a history of more than two hundred years and at least one hundred and fifty years. With such a strong official background and so long in the local area, the profits seized can be said to be difficult to imagine.

It can even be said that the royal palace was an indispensable part of the mountains carried by the people of the Ming Dynasty.

After reading the list of private property of these local tyrants, even though they knew that many of them had been destroyed by war, or that the profits in Jiangxi today were far inferior to those in the past, Chen Wen still sighed in his heart about the corruption of feudal royal power.

After a long time, Chen Wen put the preliminary report on the table and asked the responsible officer: "Who else is still alive in these three vassal kings?"

The officer had expected this question, but he swallowed and took a breath and replied: "According to the investigation, the Ning Palace has been eliminated, but the two county princes, Ruichang and Le'an, are still inheriting titles, among which Le'an is in Zhongzuo. In addition, King Huai, King Yi, and King Shucheng and King Luxi, who are among the Yigongs, are also in Zhongzuo. Some of them have inherited titles and have disappeared, while others have simply been eliminated."

Before Jiashen, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were in class conflict and killed the Ming royal family. The Qing army was very afraid of the royal family when they entered the pass.

As early as the third year of Shunzhi, the Qing court made a random excuse, saying that King Heng and King Jing who lived in Beijing wanted to raise an army to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and killed 17 people including Emperor Hongguang and King Qin Zhu Cunji, King Jin Zhu Shenxuan, King Lu Zhu Changqing, King Jing Zhu Cihuang, King De Zhu Youli, King Heng Zhu Youqi, and Wang Zhiming, the male lead of the "Pseudo-Crown Prince Case". After that, they even slaughtered the royal family, and even during the Kangxi period, a case of Prince Zhu San was indicted, with the excuse that "although Mr. Zhu had no rebellion, he had no intention of rebellion." He killed Zhu Cihuan, who was already 75 years old.

The living environment was extremely harsh. The royal families hid their names and retreated to the deep mountains. Others simply fled to the Ming army occupied areas, such as the southwest and Zhongzuo Station controlled by Zheng Chenggong, which became the refuge of these royal families.

"I see."

Putting aside the southwest and Zhongzuo, Jiangxi Province has always had anonymous clan. Chen Wen is in full swing now, but the southeast is a must-fight for the Qing Dynasty. Some of these clans who were scared by the Qing army may still be trembling in their seclusion, while others may already be on their way to Nanchang. For example, Zhu Da, the descendant of King Yiyang, is an example.
