Chapter 355: Radical changes in the grassland
Beijing, Jintaifang Camp.
The Daying Military Village, which was once reorganized and rebuilt by Yongwei Camp, has now been expanded into all the imperial guards stationed in the palace.
The commander commander of the personal army, who commanded all the personal army, was naturally located in the Jingtaifang camp at the foot of the imperial city.
In fact, in just over two years, this personal army of emperors, both in terms of institutional scale and power, has undergone earth-shaking changes.
At the beginning, the entire personal army, except for the Yongwei and Jinyiwei, were mostly as corrupt as the former Beijing army.
The power was also under the occupation of the Beijing army, and only the responsibilities of guarding the imperial palace, imperial tomb, and yellow armor were left.
And these, the most important guards of the palace, were almost all controlled by the Yongwei Camp, and the other guards almost became places for retirement.
This situation did not change until the military reform began in the first year of Jingwu.
Strictly speaking, the first batch of self-inspection and rectification of the military reform has officially begun, and the personal guards have been investigated and rectified.
The Yongwei Battalion was also hit harder in this reform. The Yongwei Battalion, which had only recovered its foundation for a while, was once again dismantled by Li Xiu and diverted to various personal troops. It was reorganized and integrated, which undoubtedly made the personal guards truly have considerable combat power.
As for power, the emperor's personal army has always been the duties of guarding the imperial palace, guarding various gates of the capital, and once guarding various places in the capital, they were occupied by the capital army. Now, with the restructuring of the personal army, Li Xiu naturally returned this power to the personal army.
Obviously, if you look closely, the personal army is the only military force in this capital, and most of the capital army is stationed in the northern suburbs outside the capital.
From this point of view, we can see how eye-catching the commander of the personal army that Lu Xiangsheng served as.
It is also clear why the civil ministers and empress dowagers have to put Lu Xiangsheng in this position.
Like Yan Shun, the former commander of the personal army and army, since taking office, Lu Xiangsheng has been devoted to military affairs and refused banquets from all parties. The only thing he does is to go to Qin Gong’s Mansion to report military affairs regularly.
Even as the commander of the personal army, he had only visited the palace once, so he paid homage to the Empress Dowager because he took office.
But obviously, no matter how low-key Lu Xiangsheng is, under this special period and this special situation, his personal army commander is destined to be the storm among the storm.
On the school ground, after a round of inspection, Lu Xiangsheng finally stopped on the school ground. Looking at the trained personal troops, Lu Xiangsheng's heart was filled with an indescribable complex feeling.
He is too arrogant to himself.
In the past, he felt that he would become an executioner, an executioner who was fighting for both sides.
Between loyalty and affection, we are entangled and tormented.
Although I figured it out later, it is inevitable that I feel uneasy.
Now that he has taken office and confirmed the situation of the personal army, he realizes that he is too arrogant to him.
If it were said that in the Beijing Army, he still had old subordinates and had some influence, but among the personal army formed with the old camp of Yongwei as the backbone, Lu Xiangsheng really did not have any influence at all.
The soldiers and generals of the old camp of Yongwei all rose up with Duke Qin, and each general was closely related to the many nobles of the dynasty and Duke Qin.
Although he was also a martial honor, it was obvious that because of his entanglement in the planning of martial honor, other martial honors and even the current personal military generals, he was obviously quite wary of him.
In name, he was the commander-in-chief of the personal army, but in fact, his authority was simply because he was the commander-in-chief of the personal army appointed by Duke Qin.
Leaving this most basic point, Lu Xiangsheng just knew everything and could not do anything.
His existence naturally cannot influence any situation.
The only function may be to make the Tian family feel more at ease.
Even if the future situation is irreversible, all Lu Xiangsheng can do is just be a spectator. Seeing the changes in the situation, the situation is not about to be entangled, nor is it about him!
The sudden gap brings about the psychological contrast, which is undoubtedly uncomfortable.
But vaguely, I felt relieved.
At least, there is no need for him, a scholar, to give the last blow to the Ming Dynasty!
...
The situation in the capital is strange and depressing, like the calm before the storm comes, but in the grassland, the storm has already hit!
In May of the second year of Jingwu, several years were spent, taking advantage of this god-given opportunity that the Ming and Later Jin were unable to intervene, Lin Dankhan, who had already united the grasslands in the northern desert, sacrificed to heaven at Hanhao, indicating that he would unify Mongolia and restore Genghis Khan's will to glory.
Tens of thousands of iron cavalry from all northern Momen and 300,000 string-pulling men were recruited. They were determined to flatten the south of Momen, reunify Mongolia, and establish unification of the unparalleled achievements of Talin Dankhan!
As soon as this news came out, the entire grassland was completely shrouded in the dark clouds of war. After the news came out urgently, several towns on the border of the Ming Dynasty immediately entered a complete martial law preparation.
In Liaodong, when news of Lin Danhan's leadership in the south of the desert came, the Later Jin, Liao Town, and the soldiers and generals stationed in various places were mobilized extremely quickly. In this way, Shanhai Town and Denglai Town were all on guard for this.
"Mongolia in the south of Mohe is not that fragile, and there is no need for us to rush to send troops. When Mongolia in the south of Mohe is almost unable to hold on, they will naturally send people to ask for help from us. At that time, we will wait for the price to get the best interests."
"Besides, the Ming Dynasty will not sit idly by and watch Mongolia unify. If Mongolia really can't hold on to the south of the desert, I'm afraid they will send troops to intervene directly."
Yuan Chonghuan held the information from the grassland in his hand and analyzed calmly.
"Besides, even if the Duke of Qin has this determination, he may be powerless in the current situation in the capital of the Ming Dynasty."
Dai Shan was quite gloating: "I have to say that those literati of the Ming Dynasty still have some effect."
"The Qin Duke tried his best to stabilize the situation, and was furious after they were disturbed. Now, whether it is for us or the grassland, he, the Qin Duke, may only be able to watch it."
"If Duke Qin dares to leave the capital, it will definitely be a fire in the backyard!"
"Speaking of this, Ben Khan really felt a little pitiful to the Duke of Qin. He worked hard for the Ming Dynasty, but was stabbed in the back by those people."
Listening to this, Yuan Chonghuan was also speechless. He was a scholar-official and had been in the Ming Dynasty officialdom for many years. Naturally, he could see clearly than Dai Shan.
Now it is no longer a question of whether the Duke of Qin is pitiful or not a question of the Duke of Qin being overwhelmed. Instead, the Empress Dowager and the court officials are forcing the Duke of Qin to rebel step by step!
There are many loyal ministers in the world, and there are also many loyal ministers who hold high power. However, even if the imperial power has already revealed such a naked murderous intent, no matter how loyal it is, he will probably have to consider his past and future affairs.
If he has no ability to resist, he will naturally be waiting to be killed, but... the Duke of Qin is obviously not, let alone, the Duke of Qin is not alone. He has so many generals and commanders under him, who would be willing to sit and wait for death!
If it continues, the Ming Dynasty will probably be over!
At this point, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, hundreds of years of glorious Ming Dynasty!
But no matter what, this is obviously a good thing for him, Liao Town...
With his eyes flashed slightly, Yuan Chonghuan slowly turned around, his eyes fixed on the map: "The Khan is right. Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Duke of Qin, I'm afraid I won't have the energy to pay attention to us for a long time."
"Take this opportunity, we can plan the southern Mongolia in Mo and the south. If we have the opportunity, we will also cause some trouble for the Duke of Qin!"
"As long as we win the Mongolian in Monan and share the alliance with Lin Danhan, our game will be revitalized!"
"right."
Dai Shan nodded with certainty, but when he thought of having to join forces with Lin Danhan in the future, Dai Shan couldn't help but think that he had tried his best to contact Lin Danhan, but in the end he let Lin Danhan watch the tiger fight.
Thinking of this, Dai Shan couldn't help but feel a toothache. Lin Danhan, who was killed that day, was so shameless, and the great Mongolian Khan!
