Chapter 348 Chess player and chess piece
Bang bang bang bang!
Outside the attic, a sudden knock on the door suddenly sounded, and then Li Ruolian's voice came clearly into the attic.
"Duke Qin!"
When the guards on the side saw Li Xiu signaling, they also walked forward and slowly opened the attic door.
"Mr. Qin, something happened."
Li Ruolian looked ugly and bowed to Li Xiu.
"Tell me."
Li Xiu poured two glasses of wine on his own, then took a glass and placed it in front of Li Ruolian.
"Duke Qin, since the news of the civil rebellion in Zhejiang reached the capital, my subordinates have discovered that the wind direction in the capital is somewhat wrong, and it seems that they are all aimed at you, Duke Qin."
"I immediately sent someone to investigate secretly. As expected, this time, someone was secretly spreading rumors and instructing me!"
"Who is it?"
Li Xiu asked casually.
"There are Song Huaidong, the Qing official of the Ministry of Personnel, and Ma Hongwen, the director of the Ministry of Works..."
Li Xiu smiled and said, "They are all small minions who take the lead. If no one instructs them, they may not dare!"
Hearing this, Li Ruolian couldn't help but feel sweat from his forehead. He stared at Li Xiu who was still calm and bowed: "I followed these people to investigate and found out the body of Dongchang!"
"Also, my subordinates have found that some court officials are colluding with each other and want to attack the court, impeach Qin Gong, you raise the enemy and respect yourself, and sit back and see the decay of the situation in Jiangnan..."
Speaking of this, Li Ruolian couldn't help but look at the Duke of Qin in front of him again, but it seemed that there was no fluctuation in his expression.
"Just keep watching, let them go for the rest."
Li Xiu slowly stood up, glanced at the sunset outside the window, then slowly stood up, waved his hand and said, "I've come here. Let's follow my governor to make a turn around in this city."
"It's rare to be idle, you can't waste it!"
The door of the room was pushed open by the personal guards. Li Xiu walked out of the attic surrounded by everyone, followed the stairs and finally left the tavern and came to the noisy street in the capital.
It was the time of sunset, although it was the traditional time to return home, but it was also the time when the night market in the capital began.
Since the Tianqi period, the world has gradually started to be in chaos, and it has been disturbed for more than ten years. Even though the power center of the Ming Dynasty has never been truly stable, the capital city has become more prosperous and noisy in this chaos.
Although the government rectification in the court did not involve the real root, at least in the capital, it can still be seen that it is very different from the past.
At least, under the current conditions, the court officials in the court are doing well.
“What month is it now?”
Li Xiu suddenly asked.
"Report to Duke Qin, it is February of the second year of Jingwu."
Li Ruolian immediately spoke out.
Li Xiu nodded. He remembered that the current disturbance seemed to have started when he led his army to fight against the rebellion in Shaanxi in the first half of the first half of the Jingwu year.
It has been almost a year since now.
In almost a year, the center of power seems to have undergone earth-shaking changes...
He is indeed just fulfilling his wish, but it is not a kind of indulgence.
After all, madness and destruction are often only in one thought.
As his thoughts flew, Li Xiu was surrounded by everyone and wandering around the capital. It was not until dusk that Li Xiu returned to the mansion.
The study room was still like that. The only difference was that on the hanging map, the garrisons and garrison signs distributed on the entire map were mostly marked with red.
The appearance of each red sign means that a garrison or battalion has been initially completed in the military reform, and it also means that Li Xiu's control over the world's troops has become more deeply rooted.
The speed of military reform has been unfast. From the beginning of the first year of Jingwu to the present, it has been half a year since it has been barely completed, and most of this half, strictly speaking, can only be said to be a preliminary investigation.
In other words, it is to barely eliminate the previous ills and return to an initial stage of extreme weakness.
After all, even the Beijing camp at the foot of the emperor, when the disaster was about to happen, there were still only one ten soldiers and generals.
The garrisons in various places will naturally only get worse.
Just like Ji Town, Xuanfu, Datong, and other three major cities, before the investigation and rectification, the number of troops on the books reached more than 400,000, and after the investigation, there were only less than 150,000 left.
And these three sides are still where Li Xiu started to operate and lay out since the early years of Chongzhen, with nearly 100,000 battalions of soldiers set up. This is the result. It is conceivable how bad other places are.
Twenty-one is the best result.
In this way, after the investigation, it seems that the soldiers and horses in the world are gradually under control, but in a short period of time, the basic base that can be used is still the hundreds of thousands of battalions of soldiers at that time.
The only benefit may be that the confidant elites who were originally deployed in various places to stabilize the situation can be withdrawn from them, and will not be restrained in various places and will be difficult to form a joint force.
After his eyes wandered on the map for a long time, Li Xiu slowly turned his eyes and finally he was frozen in the town of Denglai.
What he held in his hand was the order of transfer from Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai.
He was promoted to the commander of the Imperial Army by the governor of the Denglai Navy.
The transfer order has been drafted, but the worst is only issued from him.
Obviously, judging from the current situation in Liaodong, a sudden change of generals is not a good thing.
After all, although Liaodong has returned to peace, anyone can see that this peace is only temporary.
North Korea has destructed in fact, and the puppet Korean king supported by the Later Jin has bowed to the Later Jin for surrendering to the Later Jin.
Although the entire North Korea is full of boiling sky, in today's era, it is obviously difficult to contain too much restraint on the Liao Town of Later Jin.
After all, there is no humanitarianism in this era.
Killing is the main theme.
One city rebelled, one city rebelled, one place rebelled, one place spelled!
The Later Jin, which comes from the White Water of Heishan Mountain, is not bound by any etiquette and rules, and he has no scruples when killing people.
Now, the reason why Liaodong is calm is just a temporary rest after a long war in the Later Jin and Liao Town. After sucking enough blood from North Korea, it will surely stir up the storm again.
In this case, it is obvious that it is an unwise choice to transfer the governor of the Denglai Navy who is familiar with the situation in Liaodong.
However, a Jinshi was born and has a great reputation in the army...
In today's extremely special situation, it is obviously a completely good choice.
After all, in addition to Li Xiu, the unquestionable controller of the current Yongwei Wuxun, the second tier of him, is the four Marquis of Shijue.
First, Xu Feng, the Marquis of Dehuo, was the governor of the three sides, and was in charge of the three sides, with the hands of Jizhen, Xuanfu, and Datong.
The second is that the governor of the Three-Border Army, Zhou Yuji, was the governor of the Three-Border Army of Shaanxi and was in charge of the army of Shaanxi.
Third, in name, the deputy envoy of the Jiangnan Army Reform Commission, Rushan Hou Yan Shun, actually ruled all the troops in Jiangnan today.
The fourth is Zhao Wu, the Marquis of Zhongyi, who is now the commander of Shanhai Town, guards Shanhai Pass and governs the heavy troops of Shanhai.
Among these four marquises, the one with the most military achievements was Su Yi Bolu Xiangsheng, who was the governor of Denglai and ruled the Denglai Naval Division.
The next echelon is the many martial arts heroes distributed throughout the Ming Dynasty and the capital.
Obviously, Lu Xiangsheng, due to Li Xiu's preference and his military merits, can be said to be the only one among the nobles of the Yongweiying Camp.
And this unique existence is still a genuine literati and a Jinshi who was named on the list!
"call……"
While thinking, Li Xiu let out a long breath, staring at the command in his hand, and couldn't help but chuckling.
It is hard to imagine that in the Ming Dynasty, civil and military officials and even when facing all difficulties, they still tried their best to work in one direction. This unique scene actually happened to such things.
As for this order, he knew how much effort the generals under his command secretly put in, and how much effort the empress dowager and civil officials had planned and how much energy they had in order to avoid their own awareness!
Chapter completed!
