Zhu Cixiang's words were a bit beyond Zhu Chunjie's expectations. Because Jinyiwei North Town Fusi had always been a tool for the Ming Dynasty emperors to deter unscrupulous officials. In addition, there was also a Dongjishi Factory in charge of eunuchs that also had the same role.

However, Zhu Cixiang has now greatly restricted the power of Jin Yiwei to conduct internal investigations, and also claimed that "corruption of officials will be held accountable by the Metropolitan Procuratorate"... Officials in the Ming Dynasty are not very afraid of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

Is it too lenient for the prince to do this?

But this prince is clearly a master who kills people without blinking an eye and deceives people without blushing. It doesn't sound like he is a benevolent king!

"Master Qiansui," Zhu Chunjie thought for a while and then reminded him very responsibly, "Although Zhenfu is violent, it is also a deterrent to lawless officials. Qu Shishu, a member of the Donglin Party, once told people: Once he belongs to Tiqi, he will be sent to Zhenfu.

It is unspeakably cruel to fly into water and fire, but if you can get it before the law, it will be nothing less than the joy of heaven..."

"Hahaha," Zhu Cixiang smiled, "to suppress the violence and the justice department is useless... everything needs to be rectified. The poison of Tiqi should be disobeyed, and thieves and captives should be afraid. The officials who are corrupt and pervert the law should be jealous of the justice department.

Change. This is how officials should perform their duties and work together for the country. Ordering towns and cities to infringe on the power of the justice department and letting the justice department do nothing is not what I want. I am in Tianjin and I will stay in Dagu for a while, and I will understand

Great efforts have been made to rectify the affairs of the Zhenfu, the Dharma Division, the camps, and the financial affairs. The Zhenfu and the camps are top priorities!

Huaiyuan, without further ado, you can start rebuilding Beizhen Fusi tonight! I will give you a battalion and a fund of ten thousand taels of silver. You need to prop up the appearance of Zhenfusi and staff it within three days.

You can find it yourself, but you can’t mobilize more than 50 people from the existing camps, do you understand?”

"I accept the order!" Zhu Chunjie stood up quickly and saluted Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cixiang nodded, "The Fujun order will be issued tomorrow, but we can do things tonight. If we can gather some people, let them wear flying fish uniforms and mandarin duck coats to patrol the city to intimidate Xiaoxiao.

In addition, Hao Yaoqi needs to send someone to keep an eye on them to prevent them from slipping away from the barracks."

After saying that, he gently raised his hand, signaling Zhu Chunjie to go do something quickly.

The efficiency of Zhu Cixiang, the Prince of Fujun, is really high! He couldn't compare with Emperor Chongzhen when he was in Beijing. If such a big thing as rectifying the Imperial Guards is left in Chongzhen's hands, who knows when the cabinet will come up with a plan? But until Zhu Cixiang

In his hand, it’s just a sentence... The four great bachelors are now his rubber stamps, so why does the Jin Yiwei need to scare them?

Watching Zhu Chunjie leave, Zhu Cixiang picked up the tea cup and drank some water to moisten his throat, and then talked to Wu Xiang and Cao Youyi.

He has just said that the top priority is to rectify the Zhenfu and the various camps. He has already explained how to rectify the Zhenfu, and now it is time to talk about the various camps.

"How many troops do we have now?"

Wu Xiang replied: "Your Highness, Tianjin Guards currently have three battalions of Kenan, one battalion of Tiger Guards, one battalion of Dragon Cavalry, one battalion of Guards, and one battalion of Shuntian Patrolling. There are also about 3,000 people from various Tianjin garrison camps.

In addition, there are 2,500 brave people brought by Cao Huachun from Wang Qingtuo, as well as the nobles who came with them. There are about 2,000 brave people from the officials' families. Tianjin Sanwei can always recruit some, and they can make up about 14,000 people.

.

In addition, Tianjin Wei has been an important military industry town since the Wanli War to Aid the Dynasty. There are many craftsmen in the city who can be recruited to build equipment for the army. "

Zhu Cixiang nodded, "Finally I have some strength. It's time to set up a Generalissimo's Mansion."

Wu Xiang looked at Zhu Cixiang and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness wants to open a mansion in Tianjin?"

Zhu Cixiang nodded and said with a smile: "Strike while the iron is hot! Now the imperial court is wandering, the ministers are in disarray, the father is disheartened, and the rebel army is following. Isn't it a god-given opportunity for me to open the Grand Marshal's Palace? And Tianjin is here.

The terrain on the border is favorable, the city is strong, and the Wei River leads to the sea, so we can stay for a while and organize our troops."

Wu Xiang nodded, "Your Highness is right, but I don't know how your Highness plans to open the mansion?"

Zhu Cixi said with a smile: "Just some ideas, let me tell you two about them." He paused, "The Generalissimo's Mansion is in charge of the world's military. Naturally, if we want to seize the power of the Ministry of War, we must mobilize, command, and govern the troops."

The soldiers grabbed the yamen.

Therefore, under the Generalissimo's Mansion, there should be coordination, military administration, and military affairs. The military guards and the military directly command the troops belong to the yamen. The guards do not control the troops and horses, while the army does not care about the coordination and military administration, but only directs the troops and horses to fight.

The so-called dispatching includes selecting generals, deploying troops, conveying orders, investigating internal and external military situations, formulating military strategies, and other matters.

The so-called military administration includes matters such as recruiting soldiers, paying soldiers, providing food for soldiers, granting land, weapons, and rewards and punishments for officers and soldiers.

As for the commanding officer, of course he directly leads the troops. Operations, training and other matters are all under the jurisdiction of the commanding officer..."

What Zhu Cixiong said is nothing more than the military orders of later generations and the management methods of separation of military and political affairs. They are not very clever, but they are quite applicable to the Ming army's command and management system, which is currently in chaos.

At least we can clarify powers and responsibilities, strengthen supervision, and limit the power of military chiefs.

When Wu Xiang and Cao Youyi heard Zhu Cixiang's plan, they both frowned slightly. Cao Youyi didn't say anything because he was not familiar with Zhu Cixiang. But Wu Xiang thought of himself as a confidant of the prince and reminded him in a low voice: "Your Highness, if we do this, we will lead outside the town."

I’m afraid the commander-in-chief of the army won’t be happy, right?”

Zhu Cixiang smiled and shook his head, "How can there be an outer town? Now there is only one Tianjin Guard... The general soldiers of the outer town have to be coaxed. The only thing the Generalissimo's Mansion can control is the soldiers of the Tianjin Guard. Chief Cao, this is what I want to take away from you.

Right!"

Cao Youyi was startled when he heard this and quickly stood up to salute, but was stopped by Zhu Cixiang with a wave of his hand.

"Mr. Cao, I know you are a loyal minister! I trust you!"

Cao Youyi did not kneel down, but still said seriously: "I am willing to die for the Crown Prince and the Ming Dynasty!"

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Cixiang nodded repeatedly, looked at Wu Xiang, and said with a smile: "Old Taishan, how about you also hand over the third battalion of Kenan you brought to me?"

Wu Xiang smiled and said: "Those three battalion leaders are His Highness's people."

"Your servant..."

"All for Your Highness!" Wu Xiang said generously.

Zhu Cixiang smiled and said: "If the military officers of our Ming Dynasty can be as loyal as you two, why worry about the failure of great things?

Both of them are rare loyal ministers, and I will definitely use them in a big way. Therefore, the commanders of the Military Command Guard and the Military and Political Guard established under the Generalissimo's Mansion are the two of them. The Military Command Guard is in charge of dispatching, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Guard is General Cao.

The town was appointed. The military and political guards were in charge of military affairs, and the military commander was Lao Taishan.

In addition, all the armies in the Tianjin Guard City, including the guards of this palace, have all become one army, with the name Overcoming Difficulties as their military name, and are called the Overcoming Difficulties Army. The chief military officer of the Overcome Difficulties Army is Wu Sanfu!"

Wu Xiang couldn't hide his surprise when he heard this. The Wu family had gone to the extreme this time...Zhu Cixiang had given all his troops to Wu Sanfu!

He was happy in his heart, but he still had to be modest in his words. Wu Xiang quickly declined on behalf of his son: "Your Highness, my third son and assistant are young and junior, so they may not be able to take on such a big job..."

"Old Taishan doesn't need to mention the modest words of the third assistant," Zhu Cixi said with a smile, "the third sister is the concubine of this palace, and the third assistant is the uncle of the state. They are all members of the same family, and they are capable. Who can he use if he doesn't have much use?"

When Wu Xiang thought about it, it seemed that this was the case. Zhu Cihong did not have any generals who could serve as the commander-in-chief of an army. Li Ruolian, Wang Qi, Wang Zhou, Sun Fugui, and Wang Guoyong did not have much experience in leading troops in war.

The whole battalion is struggling, how can the general of the first army do his job?

As for Zhu Chunchen, Zhang Shize, and Li Guozhen, they are dear relatives, let alone lead troops. Wouldn't giving them troops be courting death?

On the Tianjin side, Cao Youyi said nothing, he had lost all his Tianjin soldiers! There were also two deputy commander-in-chiefs named Chen Jian and Mu Yong who were promoted by Lou Guangxian because of the capture of Jin Bin.

It was of no use. However, the Qian Commander Zhang Wenjue who sold out Yuan Yuzong and others was a little more capable, but he could not command an army. So Wu Sanfu was really the only candidate who could be the commander-in-chief of this army!

Of course, Zhu Cixi would not hand over all the power of the Overcoming Army to Wu Sanfu, otherwise wouldn't it be a joke to use the Overcoming Army to restrain Wu Sangui?

Zhu Cixiang continued: "Under the army, there should be six levels: division, association, battalion, flag, team, and corps. Including the army, there are seven levels in total. How to organize the specific organization? Lao Taishan and General Cao Town will discuss it carefully.

Please draw up a charter as soon as possible.

The officials at the four levels of division, association, battalion, and flag should be listed in detail. The specific list will be discussed by the three of you, Lao Taishan, Third Assistant, and General Cao...Draw up a larger list and list each position.

There must be two people to choose from. I will personally talk to them one by one and examine their martial arts before deciding on the final candidate.
Chapter completed!
