11. Reorganization of the Praetorian Guard

At this time, Zheng Wen found that he had some leisure time and didn't know what to do?

So Zheng Wen thought about it and prepared to reorganize his own imperial guards.

Zheng Wen was in the imperial study and met with the main generals of the imperial guards, Li Wei, the imperial guard chief Zheng Yi, the imperial guard general Jiang Kong, and the imperial guard general Li Tong.

These four people were born to the personal care of Zheng Wen’s father, and they were close friends.

Li Wei won’t say it anymore.

Zheng Yi, the Imperial Guard Chief, was an orphan. He grew up in the Royal Orphan Battalion. Later, he was given the surname Zheng by the late emperor. He was 42 years old this year. He didn't look like a general at all. He looked feminine and had been serving as the Imperial Guard Chief for 16 years. On the surface, the Imperial Guard Chief was the second commander of the Imperial Guard. In fact, this Imperial Guard Chief was just a name, and he was not responsible for the specific affairs of the Imperial Guard.

Zheng Yi was actually the leader of the secret guard of the late emperor, and was actually responsible for helping the late emperor supervise civil and military officials, and various emergencies among the people.

Such a person actually helped the late emperor deal with those shameful things. It was the late emperor's white glove.

Jiang Kong, the commander of the imperial guards, was a cavalryman from the northern border army. He once joined the Eastern Palace Weishu. He was the minister of the late emperor's residence. He was thirty-eight years old and looked tall and mighty, but there was a long scar on his right face, which had a blood-sucking smell.

Li Tong, the General of the Right Guard of the Imperial Guard, was 37 years old and relatively short. He once joined the Eastern Palace Guard. He was very handsome. He had a modern young and handsome temperament. He took off his armor and changed into a literati uniform. He was a literati, but he was a military general. He was from Jinling, from the southern garrison, and was a perfect southerner. However, even in this country where the southerners were not valued by the Daqian army, he actually became the General of the Right Guard of the Imperial Guard. This is definitely a master of the outstanding people.

Zheng Wen sat on the imperial throne, looking at the four generals in his lower head, but was thinking about how he would speak.

The four generals standing next to him were thinking about what the lame new emperor was asking for them.

When Zheng Wen’s speech at the palace city in the morning, the four of them were excited and excited when they heard it. Although they were almost middle-aged and had only 10 or 20 years of political life, as warriors, they still hope to burst out their own glory in their lifetime and leave their reputation in history!

I just wish I could meet when I was young. If I were young, they would still have time to grow up. In this era when martial arts were about to be rampant and brave, they would leave behind achievements that were not inferior to their predecessors, and they would be awarded marquis and titles, and become generals and prime ministers. They were all excited to think about it!

However, this new emperor has just ascended the throne and has not yet fully grasped the situation. I don’t know when that era of martial arts will come, and they have no idea. However, they are willing to devote their entire lives to the arrival of that era, even if they are willing to use swords and axes, and be determined!

Zheng Wen looked at them and ordered: "Give him a seat!"

After a while, Huang An led some eunuchs to hold up four chairs, opposite each other, and placed them in a row.

"sit."

"I thank Your Majesty." The four of them bowed to Zheng Wen and sat down.

Zheng Wen took the lead and said, "You are all generals of the Imperial Guards and the ministers of the father. As the nine sons of the late emperor, I ascended the throne as a concubine's son. In addition, I am a lame man, which is extremely embarrassing."

"Since ascending the throne, I have been trembling and walking on thin ice. Moreover, I have always been vulgar. I have never known books and did not understand etiquette when I was young."

"Actually, I didn't expect that I would ascend to the throne. To be honest, this throne is also full of drama. Throughout history, it is the strangest thing about me!"

"I just ascended the throne, but Kublai Khan led a army of 300,000 to attack Shanhaiguan. This is bullying me for being young and bullying me for being just ascended the throne. This is Kublai Khan threatening me and asking me to give him some benefits!"

"But I am proud of myself, even if I am a lame man, because I am the descendant of Taizu of Dakan, I will send troops from the north to compete with Kublai Khan in Shanhaiguan!"

After pausing, Zheng Wen said again: "Someone has advised me that, Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne, and the domestic situation is still unstable. It would be fine if you support Shanhaiguan, but it would be a bit unworthy to send troops from the North to decide the outcome with Kublai Khan. Maybe there will be some turmoil in the country."

Suddenly, Zheng Wen said loudly: "But I told him that I have ascended the throne, and the army that is working hard is still working hard and loyal to me!"

The four generals below stood up quickly, knelt on one knee, faced Zheng Wen, and shouted: "I am loyal to my great deeds, loyal to Your Majesty!"

Zheng Wen saw it, smiled knowingly, stood up quickly, and said, "Of course you are loyal to me!" After that, he limped down and helped them up one by one. Zheng Wenyixi saw that the four generals had a little red eyes.

I'm afraid I'm moved.

"sit."

Zheng Wen and the four generals sat down.

Zheng Wen said again: "I know that it is not worth the loss to compete with Kublai Khan in Shanhaiguan, but do you know why I compete with Kublai Khan in Shanhaiguan?"

Zheng Wen suddenly stood up and said with a fierce mood: "Because I want to tell Kublai Khan that I am not so easy to bully. Tell Kublai Khan that from now on, the attack and defense are strange. If the enemy can go, I can go!"

"Tell the world that the era of martial arts that I have done so hard is here!"

"Tell you, I want to completely deal with the Mongolians in this life, and I want to let the great cadres rule the world!"

"All the king's land is under the world! I am the king's minister in the shores of the earth! If I want to live, the horse's hooves will be dry soil!"

The four generals below were immediately excited and stood up in unison, knelt on one knee, and said in a loud voice: "I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"

Zheng Wen laughed loudly after hearing this, and said, "Get up! Sit."

After sitting down, Zheng Wen said, "I have decided to reorganize the Imperial Guard."

Li Wei stood up, saluted Zheng Wen, and said, "How will Your Majesty reorganize?"

After hearing this, Zheng Wen said, "Sit down, I decided to imitate the Han Dynasty and change the Imperial Guards into the Yulin Army, which is the wings of the country, as the prosperous forest, and the personal army of the emperor. It is divided into three divisions, the left division, the middle division, and the right division."

"The first division has one commander, one commander, two deputy commanders, and two commanders. The commander leads the army. The commander manages logistics and military discipline and military merits. A total of 15,000 people, 12,000 people are war soldiers, and 3,000 people are logistics soldiers."

"The first division has three regiments, the left, center and right regiment, one regiment commander, one regiment chief, two deputy regiment commanders, and four thousand regiment commanders. They are the combat soldiers, the regiment commander leads the army, and the regiment chief is responsible for military discipline and military merits."

"The first regiment has three battalions, the left and right battalions, one battalion, one battalion commander, one battalion chief, two deputy battalion commanders, the battalion commander, and the battalion commander led the army, and the battalion chief was responsible for military merits and disciplines and logistics."

"The first battalion has three companies, the left and right companies, with four hundred people, one company commander, one Liancheng, two deputy company commanders, and the company commander leads the army. The company commander is responsible for military merits and disciplines."

"There are three rows in a row, one left, middle and right, one row of one hundred and twenty people, one platoon leader and two deputy platoon leader."

"There are three shifts in one row, and the left middle is in the shift, and there are forty people in the first squad, one squad leader and two deputy squad leader."

"One squad has four groups, each with ten people, and one group with one team leader."

"How do you decide?" This was formed by Zheng Wen's appropriate reform based on some military situations in later generations, combining them with the imperial guards who worked hard and made appropriate reforms.

After a while of silence, the four generals below decided to be feasible. First, the organization has increased and the military strength in their hands has increased. This is a good thing. Which general does not want his subordinates to increase?

Secondly, the imperial guards. No, the Yulin Army was established more reasonably. The system of division of the army's logistics into combat soldiers will make the army clearer, and those who fight will be responsible for fighting, which will facilitate the professionalization of the army.

Zheng Wen’s mind at this time was indeed to set the Yulin Army as a benchmark for the army. He wanted to reform the military model of hard work in the Yulin Army and push the heavy work into a more modern and professional way, so that it would be more convenient for the heavy work in the army to go out and realize his dream!

The Yulin Army's setting is more modern and professional, separating logistics from the army, preventing military officials from being the only one who is the only one who has the military power to be respectful.

Zheng Wen hopes that the reform in the Yulin Army can be successful, so he will implement it across the country, reorganize the entire country's army into this type of professional army. Of course, it will take several years to achieve!

...

After a while, Li Wei stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's OK."

Zheng Yi stood up and said, "Only Your Majesty's order is to obey!"

Jiang Kong stood up and said, "Here!"

Li Tong stood up and said, "Yes!"

After hearing this, Zheng Wen did not show his face, but was very happy in his heart. It seemed that the imperial guards had completely surrendered to him.

While the iron was hot, Zheng Wen then said, "Okay! Then I will accept Li Wei as the General of the left division of the Yulin Army, responsible for the reorganization of the left division of the Yulin Army, and supervise the reorganization of the entire Yulin Army. As for all the officers who accept the order, they will be reported to me and then implemented!"

When Li Wei heard this, he felt happy, stood up and echoed: "Here!"

"Recognize Jiang Kong as the General of the Central Army of Yulin Army!"

"Here!"

"Recognize Li Tong as the General of the Right Division of the Yulin Army!"

"Here!"

After hearing this, Zheng Wen said again: "After you go back, report the military funds you need to me and collect them from the Ministry of Revenue."

"As for the shortage of personnel, 10,000 were recruited from the capital, 10,000 were selected from the capital garrison, and the places were selected from the Hebei army."

"Also, the Yulin Army must have 10,000 cavalry. As for the officer configuration, you three can discuss it and brainstorm, but officers above the platoon level must be literate!"

"Also, in the Yulin Army, a Yulin Military Academy is set up, and I personally serve as the principal, and officers at all levels serve as instructors. All the low-level officers in the Yulin and below the company are put into the military academy and then re-created. I put all the military books collected by the royal family into the Yulin Military Academy. You can read them at will. The same is true for those who enter the school to study. Do you understand?"

After hearing this, Li Wei and the other three were excited and shouted loudly: "Here!"

This lame emperor is indeed talented and broad-minded, and they have more loyalty in their hearts!

Because almost all emperors were very cautious about military books, but the new emperor took them out without blinking. He was indeed broad-minded and talented!
