After talking about Yang Siwei and Li Rusong, Wu Dui and Liang Menglong talked about Cao Yun.
Cao Yu is the one with the highest position among the local generals who are still in Liaodong. He is also the general whose strength is second only to Li Chengliang in Liaodong. Since he was rescued from the cell by Gao Jingshi, he has become Gao Jingshi's role in balancing Li Chengliang in Liaodong.
A powerful and important person.
But according to Zhu Yijun's decision today, although Li Chengliang resigned as Liao Commander and returned to the capital to be recuperated, the Li family army itself was not directly weakened. On the contrary, it was strengthened by Li Rusong's return to town - Li Rusong had five men under his command that he had been taking with him.
Thousands of cavalry, these troops returned to Liaodong, which actually allowed the Li family army to recover from the defeat of Hetuala, and still maintained a direct lineage of about 34,000 to 5,000 in the main town of Liaodong.
There are about 8,000 direct servants of the Cao family at the moment, but not all of the Cao family's troops are in the hands of Cao Yun himself. His younger brother Cao Jian also has 1,000. This time, Cao Yun was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Ji Town. According to the general's custom, he should not
After taking all the servants away, it is expected that at least one thousand more will be left for his brother Cao Jian to use as a "housekeeper", and there may even be two thousand left.
Based on this calculation, Cao Yu may have taken five to six thousand servants to Jizhen. In this case, the strength of the direct troops of the Shi School in Liaodong will be significantly reduced. As one goes, the strength of the Li family army actually overwhelms the Shi School.
Although they are highly pragmatic, Wu Dui and Liang Menglong would not regard the Li Jiajun as an imaginary enemy, and Liaodong's direct troops from Shixue were not deployed to intimidate the Li Jiajun. However, the objective reality is that whoever has the strength in his hands will have the confidence to speak.
The number of direct descendants of Shixue in Liaodong was only about 30,000. Once Cao Yu took away five or six thousand, it would be about 10,000 less than the Li family army. This would definitely affect the right to speak. Although Jinghua has a large number of armed servants in Liaodong, that is not
The imperial army will not be put on the table.
Both Wu Dui and Liang Menglong believed that we should continue to add sand to Liaodong, and at least ensure that the number of Shixue's direct troops was equal or basically the same as that of the Li family army.
Gao pragmatic frowned and asked: "Who can be transferred to make up for the shortage of 10,000 troops? Whether it is Ma Jiajun or Ma Jiajun, how many can bring 10,000 troops and horses? Ma Dong is already in Liaodong.
Ma Lin doesn't have 10,000 servants. As far as I know, he only has about 3,000 servants (the Ma family servants are pure cavalry and are relatively small in number. After all, there are very few generals who can make money like Li Chengliang).
There is a Ma family, but the only one who can bring 10,000 yuan is Ma Gui. But Ma Gui is already the commander-in-chief, so we can't let him be the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong, right?"
Wu Dui said: "Actually, the Ma family is not the only one with 10,000 soldiers. The Liu family of the Southern Army can get them. I just don't know if Rixin, you have any other purpose for keeping Liu Wei in the southwest. Otherwise, Liu
Now he can be the deputy commander of Liaodong, and his servants can be transferred to the north as the Sichuan squadron."
When Liu Wei entered Myanmar to fight, he was a Tengchong guerrilla. After the war, he was promoted due to his merit. Now his position has been promoted to the post of General Chemeng of Yunnan Province. This position was newly created after the war. The defense area under his jurisdiction is quite large.
On top of the car are the Military and Civilian Propaganda Department, Meng Ding Yu Yi Mansion, Meng Gen Yu Yi Mansion and Meng Lian Chief Sui Sui, basically occupying most of northern Burma.
At the same time, Liu Wei's department also had the responsibility of monitoring Myanmar, including supervising the payment of compensation by the Taungoo Dynasty in Myanmar.
Although the Toungoo dynasty at this time was forcibly split up by Gao Pangshi, the Bago dynasty in the south had become independent and was controlled by Beijing, and established the Bago Garrison. The Toungoo dynasty itself was actually under military control by Beijing, but in name the Toungoo dynasty
The dynasty still exists, so Liu Wei's troops still exist as a deterrent force.
Of course, from the perspective of defense alone, the Toungoo Dynasty now has no armed forces at all. Liu Wei's troops can be transferred at any time. Yunnan only needs to allocate the troops to guard northern Myanmar. However, Liu Wei remains in the south.
It was Gao Yingshi who prepared for the possible rebellion of Yang Yinglong. It would not be safe to transfer him now.
"Liu Wei stayed in the southwest because I was worried that the Southwest Xiaoxiao would take the opportunity to cause chaos after the war against Chahar. The current situation in Liaodong did not force Liu Wei to go north. Moreover, Liu Wei and his troops had been in the southwest for a long time, and they suddenly moved north to the northeast and crossed over.
Thousands of miles may not be suitable."
Wu Dui thought for a while and said: "If it is inconvenient for Liu Wei to go north, then I have another candidate: Xiao Ruxun."
Before Gao Pragmatic could speak this time, Liang Menglong asked: "Xiao Ruxun is now the deputy commander-in-chief of Ningxia. It is natural for him to be transferred to the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong, but he does not have ten thousand servants."
Of course, although Ningxia can trade with the Ordos tribe, the local economic level is not high, and the economic level of the Ordos tribe is also not as good as that of Tumote, so the generals in Ningxia are not rich. And Xiao Ruxun, the deputy commander-in-chief, is still the leader in the northwest
The great achievements of defending a city in chaos did not last long, so naturally there was no possibility of having ten thousand troops.
In fact, although he is called the Deputy Chief Soldier, he has less than 2,000 servants under his command. This strength is actually not bad in Ningxia Town, but it is obviously not good if he is sent to Liaodong, and he cannot control the scene at all - Ma Dong, Ma
The three generals of the Practical School, Chengxun and Qi Jin, all had more servants than him.
At this point in his calculations, Gao Pragmatic suddenly wanted to understand an issue that he had ignored before: in the original history, from the time Li Chengliang left his post and returned to Beijing to the second time he went to control Liao, it was basically exactly ten years, and during these ten years, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong actually
Eight were replaced.
Among them, only Yang Shaoxun, who was the first to take over Li Chengliang's position, and Ma Lin, the last, worked for two years. The rest basically only worked for about a year, or even less than a year.
Among them, Yang Shaoxun could do it for two years because he was Li Chengliang's trusted general, and Ma Lin could do it for two years because the Liao affairs had become very complicated at that time, and it can be said that the situation was quite special.
Among the remaining people, not to mention brothers Li Rusong and Li Rumei (written about in previous chapters), You Jixian, Dong Yiyuan, and Wang Bao, why can’t they last long? Naturally, it’s because the Li Jiajun doesn’t cooperate, and if the Li Jiajun doesn’t cooperate, they can’t do it.
They went down because the servants they brought with them could not suppress the Li family army.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! What should be noted here is the tenure time of the three of them. Their three terms are counted together from November of the 21st year of Wanli to Wanli
December twenty-five.
In other words, it was the period when Li Rusong was fighting in Korea. In other words, it was the period when the Li family's army was still relatively strong.
After Wang Bao, Li Rusong took over. A few months later, Li Rusong died in battle, and Li Rumei took over. Li Rumei was dismissed because of "fear of the enemy", and his successor was still Sun Shoulian, a close confidant of the Li family army.
But a strange thing happened. Sun Shoulian, a direct general of the Li family army who was born in the Tieling Guards, was unable to stabilize the situation in Liaodong. He only served for half a year before being dismissed and returned to the guard. Immediately afterwards, the imperial court appointed Ma Lin, a general of the Xuanda line.
Ma Lin was the second son of the famous general Ma Fang. He was the kind of person who had his own halo at the time. Moreover, because Ma Dong was not well-known in the original history, Ma Lin was regarded as Ma Fang's actual heir. Almost all direct descendants of the Ma family were in the army.
In his hands, he persisted in Liaodong for two years before being replaced by Li Chengliang, who controlled Liao for the second time because the situation still did not improve.
Gao Pangshi discovered that among the eight generals, Li Rusong was the dividing point.
Before Li Rusong became Commander-in-Chief of the Liao Dynasty, the Li family's army was so powerful that they did not pay attention to the general soldiers from other places and refused to cooperate with the work. As a result, the general soldiers from other places did not last long.
The situation changed after Li Rusong. The strength of the Li family army declined greatly. Although the imperial court successively appointed generals directly from the Li family army as commander-in-chief of Liao Dynasty, the situation in Liaodong was unable to be stabilized at this moment. As a result, after using Ma Lin from the Xuan family, the situation was somewhat calmed down, and the army persisted.
for two years.
But Ma Lin could only do this one step, and could not go further to reverse the situation. Therefore, the court still felt that it was insufficient, and finally had to let Li Chengliang go back.
Unfortunately, at this time, because of the decline in strength of the Li family army, Li Chengliang himself felt that the court was seriously suspicious of him. Therefore, after returning to office, he did not replenish the power of his direct lineage, and also adopted a conniving attitude towards the Jurchens. He only wanted to save face without causing chaos.
The overall situation in Liaodong then irrevocably slipped into a situation more favorable to Nurhachi.
Gao Pangshi suddenly had an idea at this time: If the general troops transferred to Liaodong from other places in the early stage had enough power to suppress the Li family army, would the situation in Liaodong still deteriorate to this point?
But this idea is not easy to realize even now: the Li family army has not experienced the losses of the Korean War, and its strength is still too strong. Now as long as Li Rusong returns to town, he still has about 35,000 servants. The combat effectiveness of the servants does not need to be repeated.
It shows that, simply put, this army can still defeat any powerful Jurchen chieftain.
And if Gao Pragmatic wants to realize the idea just now, the Practical School must be at least as strong as the Li Jiajun. However, among the generals of the Practical School, no general can gather so many servants - not even the Ma Jiajun, the whole family
The number of servants did not exceed 20,000, and the actual head of the family, Ma Gui, only had 10,000 people, and it was impossible for Ma Gui to be the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong.
In this case, the only way is to "the core is not enough, add more troops to make up". Although the real school can't find a general who can match the Tieling Li family, they can choose to send a few more generals to Liaodong. Each general brings thousands
When the servants took up their posts, the total military strength also increased.
Gao pragmatic proposed to transfer more generals to Liaodong. Wu Dui and Liang Menglong thought for a moment and both agreed in principle. However, everyone still had to discuss who to send.
This negotiation took quite a while, and the final result was that the Shi School selected Xiao Ruxun, the current deputy commander-in-chief of Ningxia, Yanhe camp staff general Ren Ziqiang in Jizhou, Gao Ce, the commander of the central army in Datong Town (with the title of guerrilla), and Datong joined the guard. Guerrilla Shen Dong, Xuanfu East Road guerrilla Jie Sheng (Mongolian), Datong Ninglu Fort defended Baosai (Mongolian), Ningxia Yuquan Camp defended Junjun, Yansui Shuangshan Fort defended You Shigong, Datong Shoukou Fort defended Yang When mountaineering to Liaodong to serve, all generals and officers are allowed to have their servants accompany them.
There are many generals selected in this batch, and they are of different levels, covering the four levels of deputy general, general, guerrilla, and garrison. The quota that the Ministry of War plans to give to the servants is quite generous - because the servants You can receive high military pay, so the Ministry of War will determine the number of positions.
Among them, Ningxia Deputy General Xiao Ruxun proposed to give an additional 5,000 yuan to his servants, Jizhou Yanhe Battalion Commander Ren Ziqiang proposed to give 2,000 yuan to his servants, the Chinese army in Datong Town took advantage of the camp, and Datong entered the guerrilla Shen Dong , Xuanfu East Road Guerrilla Jie Sheng three people planned to give 1,500 bonuses each, Datong Ninglu Fort guarded the game, Ningxia Yuquanying guarded Junjun, Yansui Shuangshan Fort guarded You Shigong, Datong Shoukou Fort guarded Yang Dengden It is planned to give each person a rating of 1,000.
If calculated based on the rated number of personnel, the Ministry of War mobilized them to Liaodong this time, giving them a full 15,500 servants. Even if Cao Yu took 5,000 servants to take office in Jizhen, the military strength of the generals of the Liaodong Practical Studies Department would still reach Forty thousand, exceeding the strength of the direct line of the Li family army.
However, posts belong to posts, and it is difficult to say whether Xiao Ruxun and the others can gather such a number. At least in Gao Pragmatic's view, Xiao Ruxun himself is almost dreaming of gathering five thousand servants, unless he brings all the Xiao family's servants. In Liaodong, there is no room for the three elder brothers (Xiao Rulan, Xiao Ruhui, and Xiao Ruzhi).
But this is definitely impossible. His three elder brothers have two generals and one guerrilla. How could he give up all the servants to his fourth brother? Judging from Gao Pragmatic's understanding of the difficulty of training servants, Xiao Ruxun doesn't know if he has two Thousands of people. If he is successfully transferred to the position of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Liaodong this time, it would be great to be able to make up to 3,000.
As for the other generals, most of them don't have the numbers given by the Ministry of War. According to Gao's pragmatic estimates, although these 15,000 personnel are placed here, it would be a blessing if they could bring 10,000.
Of course, it is not useless to provide more posts to the Ministry of War. They don't have so many on hand now, and recruiting more in Liaodong is allowed by the court system.
If it had been the original, it would have been easy to just pull in some people to make up the numbers, but this loophole was later blocked by Gao Jingshi and Liang Menglong - when Gao Jingshi was the left minister of the Ministry of War, he gave Liang Menglong an idea, and the Ministry of War Now, the servants of the generals in the Jiubian towns will be reviewed and tested. If they fail to meet the standards, they will be refused to provide positions and salaries by the Ministry of War.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, the Ministry of War itself does not have that many people to conduct the assessment, so the assessment task was handed over to two people: one is the town's patrol censor, and the other is the local military preparation road .However, considering that civil servants may not have an effective assessment method, Gao Pragmatic simply came up with the criteria for joining the Guards, slightly lowered the requirements, and handed it over to the Ministry of War for implementation.
Don't be surprised, the standards of the Gao family's Ding escorts are absolutely high and strict, because that standard was set by Qi Jiguang, and now it has to be promulgated by the Ministry of War for use throughout the nine sides. Of course, the standards need to be lowered.
For example, the servants of the Gao family even have height requirements, which is not suitable for the frontier army. Although some people in the frontier army are not tall (mostly due to poor background and malnutrition in their early years), they are actually very fierce in fighting.
Although there may not seem to be many senior generals among the generals selected by the three Gao Jingshi, in fact, none of them are simple. For example, the Yuquan Camp guard Jun Jun was the later Du Heizi, "Grand Master Du", and You Shi
Gong was born as a general in Yulin, Shaanxi, and was of the same clan as You Jixian, who was supposed to be the commander-in-chief of Liaodong later.
As for the rest of them, they have one thing in common: they are all generals who in the original history announced that the border army would enter Korea to aid Korea, and all of them have a bunch of medals for their military exploits.
It can be said that this transfer is a real transfer of elites from the direct lineage of the Xuanda (including Yansui, Ningxia) School of Realism to penetrate into Liaodong on a large scale. Once the transfer is completed, the Xuanda Department can at least compete with the Li family army in Liaodong.
However, Gao's pragmatic attitude has always been to do nothing or to do it safely. Therefore, on the basis of mobilizing the elites of Xuanda University, he also proposed to promote local non-Tieling generals in Liaodong to consolidate the basic foundation of the Shi school in the Liaodong army.
