"Tell me, who the hell am I going to find reason for?" Zhang Shize said cursingly.
"His Majesty has issued an order for the entire army to assemble. The school grounds look very dark. If you look carefully, you will see that they are either old gangsters or little kids. And then there are the hired ones."
"I really can't choose among these ten thousand people. Let whoever has the ability choose."
Yang Fan was also speechless.
"Since His Majesty has explained this matter, no matter how difficult it is, it still needs to be done." Yang Fan tapped the table with his fingers and said.
The three major battalions of the Beijing camp are not three battalions, but three arms. The actual number of soldiers is organized according to "guards". There are a total of seventy-two guards, about 400,000 people.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Those old army chiefs, no matter what, will still keep some combatable soldiers in their hands. They certainly don't have 400,000, but the actual strength of the three battalions is still 160,000 to 70,000. The soldiers in the hands of the army chiefs are estimated to be
There are at least 50,000 elite soldiers. Let's find a way to get these low-ranking soldiers. Let's deal with His Majesty's affairs first." Yang Fan said in a persuasive way.
Zhang Shize's expression was a little uncertain. He knew that Yang Fan always liked to use damaging moves, and he was simply a model of immorality and smoking.
But he had to consider whether it would push the nobles into a hurry.
Everyone knows that these hidden elite soldiers are the lifeblood of the nobles.
If a dog is anxious, he will jump over the wall. If a person is anxious, he will risk his life with you.
Besides, the British government is the biggest noble, and this is something that offends the entire noble family.
"If nothing else, if your old man doesn't have this number in his hand, I will write the character Yang backwards." Yang Fan stretched out a finger.
Zhang Shize knew that his family had at least 10,000 elite soldiers. He was the eldest son and direct grandson, so these things would not be hidden from him.
"Old man, he summoned me the night before yesterday. He said he could give me a thousand servants. That's probably it. If you want to use the elite soldiers in his hands, there's probably no chance."
Yang Fan thought for a while and said: "We brothers don't have to deal with things that offend people. There is a person who can do it."
"Who, who is willing to offend so many noble people?" Zhang Shize asked in confusion.
"Li Banghua"
Zhang Shize was stunned, and it turned out that Yang Fan had his idea.
This Li Banghua is a hard-core leader. This guy is generally classified as a Donglin Party member. However, in fact, he is a lonely minister whose political views are consistent with those of the Donglin Party.
Li Banghua, courtesy name Meng An, was born in Gu Village, Pangu Town, Jishui, Jiangxi Province. When he was a student, he was employed by Tongli Zou Yuanbiao (one of the leaders of the Donglin Party).
Together with his father's advice, he took the rural examination in the 31st year of Wanli. Father and son worked hard on each other, and walked to the bus in common clothes.
After Bang Hua became a Jinshi, he was granted the title of Magistrate of Jing County. However, he had different political views. He decided to grant him the title of Censor.
At the beginning of the party debate, many scholars in the court slandered Gu Xiancheng and Banghua, who were in conflict with each other, so they pointed out that Li Banghua didn't want to get involved in the party struggle, so he took a two-year break and took office after the dust settled.
After taking office, the first thing he did was to write to Chongzhen to reform the cabinet. At that time, it was really a stone that caused a thousand waves. The government and the public were shocked.
He severely criticized the biggest unspoken rule of the Ming Dynasty: "No one who is not a Jinshi will be admitted to the Hanlin, and a non-Hanlin will not be admitted to the cabinet." He advocated that the cabinet should be selected based on talent rather than family background.
"This guy is a boss who dares to speak and act." Zhang Shize touched his chin and said. "But, how to fool him."
Li Banghua had just been promoted to Minister of War by Chongzhen and was gearing up to rectify the Beijing camp. After taking office in August this year, he proposed to clean up the army and find out the actual situation in the Beijing camp.
But in the past few months, he has made little progress. All officers are resisting him.
"In this way, this time the troops are sent out, His Majesty is using internal funds as military expenses. Because the Ministry of Revenue has no money at all. You told him that the Ministry of War will organize a long-distance running event. The name is to keep fit. The third camp of Beijing Camp
All soldiers can participate. The top 10,000 will be rewarded with 2 taels of silver. The top 100 will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver. The top ten will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver. The top three will be awarded the titles of Ruijian, Mengshi and Champion. Each will be rewarded with 1 tael of silver.
One hundred taels, two hundred taels, three hundred taels. At the same time, the top ten soldiers passed over the corps commander and team leader and were raised to small flags. The top three were directly raised to the general flag. I paid this money from the silver approved by His Majesty.
"
Zhang Shize nodded, as long as he had money, it would be easy. The most difficult thing in the Ming Dynasty now is money. If you don't have money, you just stare. As for being appointed official, that's not a problem.
Generally, for Yang Fan, who bears the seal of General Xi and is ordered to go on an expedition, the Ministry of War will give a stack of blank letters of appointment. For lower-level officers, as long as they have meritorious service, Yang Fan can be promoted directly by filling it out, and then report it to the Ministry of War.
Already.
This is also one of the personnel powers that a general must have when he is on an expedition. The promotion of mid-level and high-level officials requires the general to apply for the approval of the Ministry of War, the Cabinet, and the Emperor.
Zhang Shize asked: "Long-distance running, how to run, from where to where. What is the use of long-distance running?"
Yang Fan said: "For soldiers, physical strength comes first. Don't worry about anything else. A strong man cannot deceive others. Those who can run are good soldiers. As long as they have physical strength, we can find a way to train them. It will not be difficult
.The first step is to select elite soldiers."
Zhang Shize gave a thumbs up and praised: "To be honest, I don't obey anyone in the civil and military affairs of this dynasty, so I will obey you. This move of yours is simply pulling the plug on the fire. All of a sudden, all the elite soldiers in their hands were taken out. Li Banghua was dizzy.
I have been working with those military leaders for several months. So far, there has been no progress in the affairs of the Qing army. It is still your ruthless tactics."
Yang Fan continued: "Ask those who signed up to gather at Yongding Gate at noon, then close the city gate and strictly prohibit entry and exit. Let them run around the city and back to Yongding Gate. As long as they run, they won't need to run too much, and they will soon be able to distance themselves.
At that time, we will directly drag the first 10,000 people to Nanyuan in the name of receiving the reward. Once the palace gate is closed and the imperial edict is read out, these people will belong to us. For Li Banghua, all of a sudden the capital camp will be destroyed.
After finding out the true and false, he will accept it. In other words, our brothers will support him in the Qing army. After passing this village, there will be no such store."
Zhang Shize said: "Yes, what a good opportunity this is. He doesn't need to pay for it. He will not do it unless he is a fool. But what if those military leaders locked the soldiers in the barracks and refused to let them out? Those soldiers
He is not a fool either."
There seems to be something obviously wrong with this matter. How could the Ministry of War be so kind and pay the soldiers on behalf of the military leaders? In all likelihood, they would order the camp gates to be closed to prevent the soldiers from going out.
Yang Fan sneered: "At that time, Emperor Chengzu had banned military orders and the military leaders refused to leave the camp. It is estimated that no one would dare to leave the camp. What age is it now? If these military leaders can control their own soldiers, Beijing
