Great Ming National Teacher

Besides Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Chonghuan, the last two people Li Yunya wanted were Cao Bianjiao and Wu Sangui.

That's right, it was Wu Sangui, the traitor who became famous later on. At this time, Wu Sangui was the son of Wu Xiang, the general soldier of Jinzhou, and the nephew of Zu Dashou. In terms of fighting, he is indeed an extremely rare talent, and he is extremely filial.

After the death of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng occupied Beijing and proclaimed himself emperor. Wu Sangui originally wanted to surrender to Li Zicheng, but Li Zicheng wanted to deal with the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty wantonly, so Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.Later, he rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and defeated Kangxi steadily. If he hadn't died early, he might have really driven Manqing out of the pass.

Li Yunya naturally has great respect for the generals who persist in the war of resistance in the future, and he is determined to use those who surrendered and have great talents. Resisted the Qing Dynasty, and was arrested for the second time before surrendering.Another example is Hong Chengchou, who also surrendered after being captured after the failure of the Songjin Battle.

Li Yunya thinks that if he is caught, he may not be able to die generously. Using himself to save others has lowered the moral standard line a lot. As long as he does not take the initiative to seek refuge like Kong Youde, he will not deliberately reject him.

In this battle of Yongdingmen, both Wu Sangui and Cao Bianjiao made great contributions, led troops to attack the enemy's formation, and fought with the Eight Banners army one by one. Ask them if they are willing to directly let the emperor issue an order to transfer people directly from the Ministry of War.

After the war, the most important thing is to deal with the aftermath. Li Yunya incinerated all the soldiers who died in the new army, now called the Qinglong Army, and put the ashes of each person into a specially burned white porcelain jar. wooden sign, take it back to the military school.

Li Yunya asked Mr. Fengshui to choose a treasure land of Fengshui and bought it to build a martyr's cemetery. Due to the cold weather, the ground cannot be broken, so it will be stored for the time being and buried in the spring of the next year. For the pension of the deceased family members, Li Yunya unanimously set it at 100 Two silvers are a sky-high price these days. Li Yunya also allocated ten acres of land to each family of the martyrs, with 100 years of use rights. Of course, it can only be cultivated, and it can also be sublet, but it cannot be used for other purposes, such as It is not allowed to build a house or do farming, and it is not allowed to buy or sell.

In the new issue of Daming Hou Bao, Li Yunya personally wrote an article to commemorate the soldiers who died in this battle, not only the Qinglong Army, but also the King Qin Army from the Beijing Camp and all over the place. He wrote a good composition when he was in school. Look I have read many extra-curricular books, but this time I first described the tragedy of the battle, and then described the greatness of the soldiers: "We may never see a tragic massacre in our life, because there are such a group of people who sacrificed their lives Keep the massacre out of the country! We can eat and read quietly every day without facing the enemy's bloody butcher's knife, because there are such a group of people who hold the enemy's butcher's knife in the air with their flesh and blood..."

Later, I will explain the unfair treatment, discrimination, abuse, and humiliation that soldiers have received over the past few hundred years: "The soldiers of a country are not trampled under the feet of the enemy, but they are trampled under their own feet, and they have not died. Under the enemy's sword, but died under the pen of one's own people, this nation is sad, and this country is about to perish..."

As soon as this article came out, it once again caused an uproar in the Manchu Dynasty. Emphasizing literature and restraining military affairs, and using literature to control military affairs is a tradition left over from the founding of the country. This tradition even began in the Song Dynasty. For officials of the same level, military generals are far inferior to civil officials. Many literati and bureaucrats who resigned from office could not sit still, and they all denounced the demons for harming the country. Even Queen Zhou in the harem advised that Li Yunya should not be allowed to continue to hold military power.

Zhu Youjian had a second-degree illness. He thought that Li Yunya's victory would be equivalent to slapping the resigned ministers and those who opposed Li Yunya in the face, and could make them shut up completely. After a few days of silence, he came back again. During the defense of Beijing, he went to the top of the city twice. He saw with his own eyes the soldiers of the three armies throwing their heads and blood, and being killed by the Eight Banners Army. I was deeply shocked, and finally understood what Li Yunya had said to him when he was in the military academy. From his heart, he also thought that the treatment of soldiers in the past was too low and should be increased. He is all doubled.

Besides, Zhu Youjian deeply believed that the harem should not be involved in politics, but Queen Zhou repeatedly touched his bottom line, which made him very upset. However, Queen Zhou's second child was about to give birth, so he couldn't take deep responsibility. Don't worry about what's ahead.

The next day, Zhu Youjian ordered Li Yunya to take over the Beijing camp and have full power to dispose of the 72 guards of the third battalion.

In fact, Zhu Youjian didn't just want to compete with the courtiers. In this battle to defend Beijing, he could see that besides Li Yunya's Qinglong Army, the Liaodong Army could fight the most in Ming Dynasty, followed by those from places such as Xuanda. The Nine Frontier Army, then the King Qin Army who came from all over the country, and finally the Jingying Army. The total army is only about 30. Zhu Youjian is not a fool. He knows that the Beijing camp has been completely corrupted. Li Yunya will fully cooperate with whatever request he has.

As soon as the imperial decree was issued, many gift givers came from outside the military academy, such as chief soldiers, generals, guerrillas, etc., all brought gifts to meet Li Yunya, Li Yunya asked Li Xiaohai to help him screen out, and all those less than 5000 taels were not seen!The time of the national teacher is very precious. Li Yunya thinks it is not too much to drink a bowl of tea with you and get 5000 taels of silver. Those who are not pleasing to the eye will be beheaded with the white sword appointed by the emperor. These officials in the Beijing camp have been deceiving their superiors and inferiors all these years, taking money and gaining power, buying houses and land, and making a lot of money. Changing his teeth to sell property, he had to borrow money for less than 5000 taels, just to meet Li Yunya and beg him to show his respect.

Li Yunya was not in a hurry, he would ignore those who liked to talk to him, and planned to wait until the New Year was over before doing anything.

In Liaodong, after Zhu Youjian asked his opinion, he still sent Sun Chengzong to go. With him in charge of the Ningjin generation, Huang Taiji, who had been seriously injured, would not be able to fight in three to five years. Sun Chengzong set off for Liaodong at the end of the year , Li Yunya went to see him off in person, and specially transferred a doctor from the Academia Sinica to take charge of Sun Chengzong's diet, daily life, and daily health care. The old man will be 68 years old after the Chinese New Year. In a place of bitter cold, one day I might have a headache and be unable to get up.

Li Yunya told the doctor in front of Sun Chengzong: "Starting from this year, as long as Mr. Sun lives a year in good health, I will give you 200 taels of silver. Once he gets sick, ten taels will be deducted, and for serious illnesses, 50 taels will be deducted." , I’ll transfer you back after everything has been deducted, and I’ll send someone else.”

Sun Chengzong was very grateful after hearing this, but he also couldn't laugh or cry: "My body is quite strong..."

"Hey." Li Yunya waved his hand, "Several academicians in our Academia Sinica are treated like this. Mr. Sun is like them, all of them are national treasures. You are Daming's treasures, so take good care of them. If you have to, I will definitely Don't let the emperor send you to Liaodong. Fortunately, Jiannu is also seriously injured now. This time the invaders have also robbed a lot of things. They should not commit crimes again in a short time. Mr. Sun can also take it easy. I went to Liaodong to visit Mr. Sun when things came to a head."

Sun Chengzong is a relatively easy-going person: "If the national teacher is really thinking about me, why don't you transfer your artillery to Liaodong..."

"Wait for the summer, I'll bring the artillery, the mortar, and the palm thunder, and I'll bring you some." Li Yunya told Sun Chengzong's housekeeper, "The car I brought to you has wool There are blankets, large blankets, military coats, and a stove, and when we get there, we will decorate Mr. Sun’s room, and we must pay attention to avoiding the cold and keeping warm.”

Watching Sun Chengzong gradually go away in the heavy snow, Li Yunya felt very uncomfortable. The Ming Dynasty finally had to rely on such an old man who should have cared for his life to guard the border. It can be seen that the young people are not up to date!

In the new year, Li Yunya began to formally reorganize the Beijing camp. The Ming Dynasty’s Beijing camp had 48 guards when Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, with a total of more than 20 people. Later, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing and increased to 72 guards. At this time, the Beijing camp was quite powerful. , During the war, the capital battalion was the main force, and the local army was the supplementary force. Zhu Di repeatedly beat Mongolia with them as the main force.

During the period of Ming Yingzong, there was a civil fort change, hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed, casualties were scattered, while Yu Qian retained the three major battalions, he selected elites to reorganize the tenth battalion.During the Chenghua period, the Ten Battalions began to corrupt and became weak, so the elite were selected from the Ten Battalions to form the Twelve Battalions.In the reign of Zhengde, the twelve battalions were no longer able to do so. Zhu Houzhao ordered the border troops to enter the guard and set up the east and west government halls.During the Jiajing period, the front ones were abolished, and the three major camps were restored...

Now in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the number of troops on the books of the Beijing Camp is 10,000+, but in fact, a large number of military households fled. An official who should have 500 people only has 30 people. Officers, big and small...there are more officers than soldiers, and most of them are old, weak, sick, and disabled. They lack armor and weapons. It is common for those who have not trained for a year. If it is withheld, it will be owed for one year, or even more.

This kind of army is completely unable to fight.On February 6000, when the dragon raised its head, Li Yunya brought five thousand Qinglong troops to the Beijing camp singing the military song of loyalty and dedication to the country. The warehouses, money, grain, and military equipment were all in short supply, and they were asked to pull out the soldiers. As a result, there were only less than [-] old, weak, sick and disabled. They were a little young and strong, but Li Yunya picked away more than [-] in the past two years. Many died during the defense battle, and now only these are left.

Li Yunya ordered all the officials to be tied up. There were a total of 760 people with names and surnames. Written with a pen, he doesn’t know how to write brush characters, but the pen characters are still very smart. He wrote ten origami papers densely, and listed the current situation of the Beijing Camp in detail, and talked about how he wants to reform in the general direction , After finishing writing, send someone directly to the palace without going through the cabinet.

After reading it, Zhu Youjian was furious. He thought that the Beijing camp was already bad, but he didn't expect the fact that the situation was even worse than he thought in advance!He called Minister of the Ministry of War over, criticized him harshly, and told him to be severely punished!

This time, being beaten by Jiannu to the door of his house, almost breaking through the city of Beijing and taking him as a prisoner, it is a great shame for the ambitious Zhu Youjian!In his dreams, he wanted Li Yunya to train him an army like the Qinglong Army, with 3000 men daring to resist Jiannu's [-] cavalry!It doesn't take much, as long as Li Yunya trains him an army of [-], he can sweep Jiannu, pacify Liaodong, subdue Shenyang, and take back the land that was lost because of the defeat of Sarhu!

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian was very excited. He wrote back and told Li Yunya, besides silver, I will give you whatever you want. What method, you must refine the soldiers for me!
