Chapter 190 Opportunity to reorganize Tangtong Department and other Jimi defense area army leaders?
After the Qing army retreated, Cao Ruohai waited for two days and then began to arrange for the army to withdraw inward from the pass one after another. The 20,000 troops had been standing outside the pass. The pressure on logistics supply was still quite high. It became a little easier after arriving inside the pass.
Zhu Youjian in Beijing also received reports from Liu Yuanbin and Cao Ruohai, asking for instructions on the next action plan after the end of the war outside the customs.
Looking at the detailed military intelligence report sent from the front line, Zhu Youjian had a new idea. According to the regular plan, the new army should return to the Xishan Camp to rest and reorganize the more than 20,000 newly trained soldiers and horses. The new army will have four divisions and more than 50,000 troops!

But looking at Cao Ruohai's memorial to Tang Tong's son, Zhu Youjian felt that the army in Miyun was a good opportunity. He could reorganize Tang Tong's troops in Miyun, as well as Ma Ke and Bai Guang'en's troops on the nearby Jizhou front line. .
The total of these three troops exceeds 20,000. After checking the vacancies and eliminating the old and weak, we should be able to squeeze out about one division of troops. In other words, the next reorganization plan will be carried out directly as three divisions. .
Tang Tong, Ma Ke, and Bai Guangen are all battalion soldiers, and they receive training pay from the camp. This year, the tax rate in the Beizhi area has been changed, and their pay will be lost. In other words, Zhu Youjian will have to think about it in the future. There is a way to help them solve it. Instead of spending more money to support the useless army, it is better to deal with them all directly. Historically, these three villains seemed to surrender without a fight when Li Zicheng came over, which seems unreliable.
"It is conveyed to Liu Yuanbin and Zhang Fengxiang that the troops and horses of the two divisions of the New Army have been suspended on the front line outside Miyunkou. They will go to Beijing as soon as possible to meet the emperor and have important military discussions."
To reorganize the troops of Tang Tong and other departments, it is necessary to cut through the mess quickly, and to communicate well with Liu Yuanbin and others to let them know how to operate, otherwise this matter will easily be messed up.
After receiving the imperial edict, Liu Yuanbin and Zhang Fengxiang set off for the capital on the same day. They arrived in the city in one day and entered the palace to meet the saint.
After seeing the ceremony, Zhu Youjian was not polite and told them his plan directly. "In view of the fact that the new army is brave enough to fight and can handle big tasks, I am planning to carry out major restructuring of Tang Tong, Ma Ke and Bai Guangen from now on. This time The first and second divisions of the reorganized New Army each dismantled a main battle brigade, and then mixed them with the 25,000 new soldiers from Xishan Camp, as well as these three troops to form a total of three main battle divisions, and the entire army was completely completed within two months. Adapt and conduct training."
Want to adapt the troops of Tang Tong, Ma Ke, and Bai Guang'en? Liu Yuanbin and Zhang Fengxiang were a little confused. Why did the emperor want to do this just after the war? This was a bit too vigorous.
Zhu Youjian continued: "For this restructuring, Liu Yuanbin, Zhang Fengxiang, Cao Ruohai, and you will form a restructuring team, which will be fully responsible for the restructuring of all soldiers and horses. Tang Tong, Ma Ke, and Bai Guangen will be transferred to the military command hall. In the future, he will mainly be responsible for central military orders in the military command hall and will no longer go to the front line to lead troops. The specific duties of the three of them will be discussed later. All officers of the three military units, small flag officers and above will be dismissed from their posts and go to the general academy hall for further study in the special section for general officers. , will be appointed separately based on graduation status.”
"Your Majesty, if we seize their military power in this way, I'm afraid these generals will feel dissatisfied. Also, they have many servants. Where will these servants go during the restructuring?" Zhang Fengxiang was frightened by the emperor's restructuring plan, and his heart beat a little. This is simply going to kill Tang Tong and the others in one fell swoop.
"Thunder, rain, and dew are all your grace! They are not convinced. What are the more than 20,000 new troops doing? But those who do not obey the reorganization plan will be treated as rebels. The new troops must be fully prepared. If a thunder blow is needed, they will be on the spot.
Annihilate them. All the servants under their command will be recruited into the new army. Anyone who disobeys the arrangements will be punished on the spot as a deserter."
"Last general (minister), take your orders." Li and Zhang saw the emperor uttering thunderous words, knowing that he had already made up his mind on this matter.
"From their three armies, they can select up to 13,000 soldiers, and the remaining old and weak will be organized into one or two security brigades. It is really inappropriate for the new army to be injured and unable to go to the front line and in this battle against the prisoners.
Officers and soldiers who go to the front line serve as officers, big or small, and lead them. They first train in the military camp for a month, and then let them return to the capital to be responsible for the security work of the capital and surrounding counties. Remember that those eliminated must be old and weak, and some are fierce.
The disciples will stay in the new army first and use military law to discipline them."
"The last general (minister), please respect the holy edict."
"Okay, let's talk about the details of the adaptation."
The so-called details are actually how to seize their military power quickly. It is best to kill these people without letting them react, so as to avoid any trouble.
After all, Zhang Fengxiang was a civilian with bad ideas. His idea was to summon Ma Ke and Bai Guangen to Miyun with their troops in the name of the New Army's upcoming withdrawal from the Miyun Defense Area and the transfer of some strategic materials.
Announcement of the restructuring plan and the new appointments of Tang Tong and others. They talked nicely, handed over military power happily, and then let it go. If they didn't comply, the new army would forcibly reorganize them on the spot.
In order to heighten the atmosphere, before reading out the adapted imperial edict, two to three hundred prisoners of the Qing army were killed to add to the fun and give the people below a sense of perspective.
"Immediately follow Zhang Shilang's plan. Before the imperial edict is read out, only you and Cao Ruohai know the details. Be fully prepared before taking action. No one else needs to know before taking action. They only follow orders.
Just execute it. Sir Zhang, don’t tell anyone in the Ministry of War about this matter. You can just go back to Miyun today, and then return to the capital when the matter is over."
"I accept your order. Your Majesty, I have a heartfelt request. After this incident is over, I would like to enter the general school to learn military knowledge so that I can lead troops."
"I have considered this matter. The Ministry of War cannot be completely separated from the military in the future. When the time is ripe, I will have a plan on how to let the Ministry of War reasonably participate in the military. The General School will definitely recruit people from the Ministry of War and let the Minister of War be an ordinary student.
There's something wrong with this."
It seems that Zhang Fengxiang was stimulated by this battle with the army. He actually wanted to put down his pretense of being a scholar and a minister of the Ministry of War and go to the general school to study military affairs. This man is a bit interesting. He is not as flexible as ordinary scholars who have high ambitions and low abilities.
I don’t know when it started to divide officials into civil servants and military generals. The two things they did seemed to be very professional and incompatible. Even now, Zhu Youjian still can’t understand how civil servants’ professionalism is reflected in their official duties.
You talk about being an official. In fact, the education level of a scholar is enough. For people like Juren and Jinshi, it may be more suitable for them to engage in academic research than to be an official. It is true that there are no mediocre people in Juren and Jinshi, but these people study
That knowledge and the ability to be an official are not necessarily compatible!
After this year, when we advance further, we will consider how to adjust the knowledge structure of civil servants so that they can use their efforts in the right places. It is useless to think about this now.
