  Chapter 2175 Guizi scroll grasps military power and establishes prestige

  Sun Yijie's closeness was expected by Feng Ziying, but he was not very satisfied.

  It came a little too late.

  This guy is indecisive, unable to see the situation clearly, or he still has some thoughts of wanting to ask for better conditions, but this is not very smart.

  But as long as it comes, Feng Ziying is still willing to give it a chance. After all, the other party is the person he wants to win over, and there is no fundamental conflict with him.

  The problem before Feng Ziying, or the task, is to solve the problems in Xi'an as soon as possible.

There are more than 20 prefectures and counties in Xi'an Prefecture. Xu Liangyan is still at the top of the list. Even Feng Ziying is still thinking about how to deal with it. Needless to say, the Four Guards of Xi'an are an important starting point for Feng Ziying to control the military power in Shaanxi, and it is also a delay. no.

"The problem of the Four Guards in Xi'an is well known throughout the city, and even the inside of the Four Guards are aware of it, but the key is that it is easy to abolish the old, weak and redundant personnel, and how to restore their combat effectiveness is the most important thing. The guard is the most important military force in the Guanzhong Plain. I need to transform it into a guard army that can fight at any time within half a year. Even if it cannot be compared with the frontier army, it must at least reach the level of the Tongguan Guard Army. "

Feng Ziying paused, looked at the three of Zheng Chongjian, "I plan to hand it over to you, the Yueshan camp, the assault camp, and the destroying camp have already achieved certain results, so let's wait for them to practice in battle. "

The three of Zheng Chongjian were recruited non-stop by Feng Ziying. For the three of them, they learned a lot in the process of reorganizing the three camps of Yueshan Camp, Tufeng Camp and Destroying City Camp. Compared with the reorganization of the Minzhuang Camp in Shanxi, it is much more difficult and challenging. Much sexier.

  During the past two months, all three of them lost a lot of weight. Seeing that they had achieved some results, they were recruited to Xi'an by Feng Ziying, and when they were thrown over, the four guards involved tens of thousands of guards.

  The four guards of Xi'an are the main guards of the entire Shaanxi capital. Except for the guards directly under the jurisdiction of the border towns in the three borders and four towns, they basically account for half of the rest of the guards.

Guards like Hanzhong Guards, Ning Qiang Guards, Yan'an Guards, Suide Guards, Qingyang Guards, and Qinzhou Guards all had only one battalion. There are more than 30,000 horses in a battalion, which is more than all other guards combined.

"Ziying, the Yueshan camp, the assault camp and the destroying camp are far from finished training. Maybe it's okay to fight with ordinary rebels, but to be honest, if the people in Boyan village and Baitang village want to suddenly counterattack, they may not be able to fight back. Can win." Zheng Chongjian couldn't help but persuade: "Now you have changed your mind and want to reorganize the four guards of Xi'an, let alone half a year, it may not be possible to complete the training in one year, and according to what you said, all the existing staff of the four guards of Xi'an will be eliminated. , we set up the training with bare hands, how can we have such a great ability?"

For the three of Zheng Chongjian, what they have to do is to organize personnel, materials and funds to make overall arrangements, arrange and plan the training plan, promote the implementation of the plan, and strive to achieve the training effect, but the actual training is still left to the officers and veterans of.

  What they have to do is to firmly control the movements of the officers and supervise the implementation of the training in place, but Feng Ziying wants the Xi'an Four Guards to start from nothing, which is too challenging.

Even the Yueshan camp, the assault camp and the destroying camp are at least not lacking in the hands of soldiers, and many of these rebellious soldiers are fugitives from the three sides and four towns. Less, so as long as you comb it clearly and push it up, the effect will rise immediately.

  But the Four Guards of Xi'an cannot be compared.

  The four guards in Xi'an are comparable to the Beijing camp back then.

It can be said that the Four Guards of Xi’an have basically never been out of the city to fight since the reign of Yuanxi. According to Xie Zhenye, the Guanzhong Plain itself is the most affluent area in Shaanxi, and the Four Guards of Xi’an exist as the reserve team of the Shaanxi capital. I haven't fought a war for 20 years, and basically I'm slowly getting old.

The four guards of Xi'an, from generals, guerrillas to garrison, and general manager, are basically occupied by the original Wu Xun's children. These people are pampered and pampered in Xi'an city. Even Dianmao went through the motions and asked the commander to follow the servants, and the soldiers below followed suit. Later, they simply left the army without permission.

From the second year of Yonglong to the present, the Four Guards of Xi'an should have registered about 35,000 soldiers, but in fact there were only 17,000, which is more than half, or they were directly out of the registration, or they were registered. If you are not on duty, you will not be paid.

  These escapees have to pay a sum of money if they want to quit their nationality, and they have to pay a sum of money if they want to settle in various states and counties in Xi'an Prefecture after they quit their nationality.

  So from this point of view, officials from the capital of Shaanxi Province and the prefectures and counties of Xi'an Prefecture all benefited a lot from it.

  Even among the remaining 10,000 people, most of them are old and weak, and have not practiced training for many years. It is a joke to say that they will fight on the battlefield.

Because of this, what Feng Ziying meant was to transfer these 10,000 people directly to Tunwei and drive them to Gongchang Mansion to cultivate wasteland, or spend money to redeem themselves, buy out their military status, and transfer them to Gongchang Mansion. The Four Guards of Xi'an were recruited from refugees or soldiers from the rebellious army, and adopted a recruitment system.

  This involves a major military system reform, which is no small matter, but Feng Ziying still intends to try it. At least under the pressure of the rebellious army, if he reforms at this time, the pressure on the court will not be so great.

"Da Zhang, this is also a last resort. In such a big Shaanxi, we can't just rely on the three mobile units of the Yueshan Camp, the Stormtrooper Camp and the Destroying Camp, right? They also shoulder the heavy responsibility of chasing and suppressing the rebel army. Tongguan Guard I was sent to cross the Jinhe River. The situation in Pingyang Prefecture is dangerous. If there is no accident, I think Pingyang Prefecture and Zezhou are very dangerous. I must plan ahead and form a guard army with a large enough scale and strong enough combat effectiveness as a reserve team .”

Feng Ziying looked at Zheng Chongjian, "Dazhang, I remember that you are from Ningxiang, Hejin, Jishan and Jiangzhou have all fallen into the hands of the rebels, and it is only one step away from your hometown, and now the rebels are all thinking about Linfen Now, if they realize that Linfen may have Shanxi border troops going south, they might turn around and attack Ningxiang and Jizhou, are you not worried?"

  Zheng Chongjian's expression changed slightly, "Ziying, don't be joking."

"Da Zhang, do you think I'm joking? Linfen is so easy to fight? The rebellious army is not stupid. If they realize that Linfen is not easy to fight, they must turn around. The chaotic army on the front line is in full swing, Linfen is not easy to fight, but there must be a target, Xiangning and Jizhou, Quwo and Yicheng, I am afraid they will all be their targets."

   Zheng Chongjian actually knew what Feng Ziying said was true, he just subconsciously did not want to accept this cruel truth.

"Bo Ya and Yuxuan's hometowns are in northern Shanxi, but Dazhang's hometown is in southern Shanxi, and Qiao Youdu Yushi, Sun, and Han's hometowns are all in southern Shanxi. If all Jinnan falls, I'm afraid they will It’s a little hard to accept.”

Seeing that the three were silent, Feng Ziying said again: "To be honest, I am sure that the situation in Shaanxi will settle down, but it is difficult to guarantee that the situation in southern Shanxi will deteriorate and spread. Shanxi Town is too weak. It is also very weak. Seeing that there is only one battalion of the guards in Puzhou, and they are unable to deal with it at all. At that time, no matter whether the rebellious army in southern Shanxi will eat back our Shaanxi, or continue to spread east to south, the court will When there is no free hand, will we let Shaanxi support Shanxi?"

The three of them were a little shocked, and after a while, Sun Chuanting hesitated and said, "Shaanxi guards enter Jin? Ziying, it is impossible for Tongguan guards to enter Jin. The guards can only stay in the local area. This is the order of the imperial court. You use it temporarily." You can do it all at once, but if you use the guards to enter Shanxi without hindrance, it will destroy the ancestral system and will not be allowed."

   "Then Shanxi falls and can sit back and watch?" Feng Ziying shook her head, "It's really not possible, the Four Guards of Xi'an will be transferred to Guyuan Town, and Guyuan Town will send troops to Shanxi, that's okay, right?"

Feng Ziying's unconstrained ideas made them unable to keep up with the rhythm. None of the three of Zheng Chongjian thought that Feng Ziying would not care about the court's customary rules at all, and would disrupt and change at will without restraint, and did not worry about the imperial court's actions. Attitude, even if you are the governor of Shaanxi, you shouldn't be so unscrupulous.

   "Even if it is possible, the personnel can solve it in this way, but the court may not be able to satisfy the food, weapons and armor." Chen Qiyu also felt that the difficulty was too great.

"Food and weapons and armor, I'll figure out a way. The more than 30,000 establishments of Xi'an Four Guards have been made so dilapidated by them. Shouldn't someone be responsible for it?" Feng Ziying smiled lightly: "There is no Eat idle food, they have a lot of evidence pointing to the fact that more than 10,000 people have left their citizenship and had no salary for more than ten years. For me, as long as there is evidence to back it up, then it’s just right. Returning stolen goods is a matter of course, right? There should be punishment, too? In addition, the guards themselves also have food, but it’s a little lower than that of the frontier soldiers, it’s better than nothing at all.”

  Feng Ziying has thought about this issue many times, Haitong Yinzhuang and Shanxi Merchants have to join in, otherwise he would not be able to achieve his goal in such a short period of time.

  Seeing that Feng Ziying’s attitude is very firm, for these three Shanxi people, if the Shaanxi Guards or Guyuan Town can be used to quell the chaos in Shanxi, they certainly wish for it, so it is only natural for them to make some contributions.

   "Ziying, since you have made up your mind, of course we are willing." Zheng Chongjian finally expressed his opinion on behalf of the three of them, "It's just that half a year is too short, and you won't be able to gather all your supplies in a short time."

   "This is my business." Feng Ziying said firmly, "Just do your own thing well."
