Chapter 644 Launch

Yang Ting and Nian Xu nodded and said, "Sure enough, they are well thought out. People who commit crimes are generally desperate. These tens of thousands of people have a way out, and naturally the world is peaceful; but how much money will these three measures cost you calculate? What kind of reserve status alone is one taels of silver a month, nearly 50,000 taels, 600,000 taels a year, and 1.8 million taels in three years. Who will pay for this money?

Song Nan smiled and said, "Can't I come out? Lord Yang should make it clear that the so-called reserve status is just to calm the anger in the hearts of the demobilised soldiers. A taels of silver every month is actually equivalent to the relief money of the court, ensuring that they have food before they find a way to make a living. Three years later, basically everyone has integrated into society and is used to making a living. At that time, the goal was achieved.

Yang Tinghe smiled and said, "In this way, the household department should pay this money."

Song Nan said, "This silver household department is out, and the dismissed silver military department is out. Lu Shangshu, don't stare at it. You must pay this money, because after disarmament, the regimental camp will consume nearly one million taels less money every year, which is clear."

"Well, the first problem has been solved, so the second problem, the number of Beijing battalions has been sharply reduced to less than 100,000 after disarmament. Who can guarantee the safety of Beijing Normal University? Don't tell me that a big man beats a hundred old women. Although we are not the leading generals, we still understand some simple truths. This is not as simple as adding and subtracting. The reduction of the regiment camp is actually more due to the consideration of discipline. Can 40,000 to 50,000 people be better than 40,000 to 50,000? Don't lie to us."

Song Nan laughed and said, "What Yang Shoufu said is that Yang Shoufu is a clear person and does have an impact on the strength of the regiment camp. It is an indisputable fact that the regiment camp has dropped from 10,000 to more than 6,000 people per battalion. However, the emperor has agreed to a suggestion for me, which is about making up for the lack of defense forces in the capital.

Yang Tingyu frowned and said, "Oh? What's the suggestion?

Song Nan bowed to Zhengde and said, "Your Majesty, can you say it in front of everyone?"

Zhengde waved his hand and said, "Say, sooner or later, it will be announced, and you should also let you talk about it."

Song Nan bowed to the promise and turned her head and smiled, "In view of the excellent performance of the officers and soldiers who participated in this competition, especially the Weizhou Guard and Xuanfu Zhongwei, who were brave and good at fighting, repeatedly overturned the Beijing camp and showed good combat effectiveness, and the emperor also praised it. The rectification and disarmament of tens of tens of thousands of the regiment battalions caused the Beijing Central Defense. Due to the decline of the defense force, I suggested that the emperor transfer the two armies of Bazhouwei and Xuanfu Zhongwei into one battalion, which is called the outer two barracks and stationed in the suburbs of Beijing as a supplement to the defense of the Beijing camp. What do you think?

"What?" Yang Ting and his gaffe shouted. Lu Wan and others, who understand the key points, are also pale. Song Nan will indeed not miss this opportunity. The so-called foreign army does not seem to belong to the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp. In fact, his identity is more free. He is not only independent from the Beijing camp, but also breaks away from the identity of officers and soldiers of the guard station and becomes an independent military camp.

"What? Is there anything wrong?" Song Nan asked with a smile.

Yang Ting and Heran said, "Then who will command this army?"

Song Nan shook his head and said, "I don't know. Why didn't Yang Shoufu ask the emperor in person?"

Yang Tinhe looked up at Zhengde, who was playing a debt on the throne and asked in a low voice, "Do you dare to ask the emperor who wants to lead the foreign army?"

Zhengde said, "I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, and I still think it is appropriate to let Song Nan hold the same position. The big competition has shown that the Shenshu Camp is good at training, and Song Nan is also a general. In fact, this foreign army is similar to the Beijing camp, and I am more assured that it is handed over to Song Nan."

Yang Tinghe's face was gray and arched his hand and said, "Has the emperor made a decision?"

Zhengde said, "Basically, it's settled. Does Yang Shoufu have other ideas?"

Yang Tinhe shook his head and said, "I have nothing to say."

As a minister of the Ministry of War, Lu Wan actually knew nothing about this matter. He was extremely angry and shouted with some gaffes: "Isn't this taking off your trousers and farting? What's the point of disarmament and sending more troops?

Song Nan shouted, "What's wrong with Lu Shangshu?" Please pay attention to your words. What does it mean to take off your pants and fart? The disarmament is the Beijing camp, and the foreign army is transferred. Where has there been an increase?

Lu Wan said coldly, "So what about the food and supplies of this foreign army? Who should pay for the extra hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year?

Song Nan said, "Joke, of course, it is from the money allocated by the Ministry of Household to the Ministry of War. Is there any need to ask?"

Lu Wan shouted, "Don't think, I refuse to pay this money. My military department has no money to pay for the foreign army."

Song Nan shouted coldly, "Lord Lu, are you stupid? The foreign two armies are originally the soldiers of Weizhouwei and Xuanfuwei. No matter where they are transferred, their military pay is a part that must be allocated by the Ministry of War. Even if they are not transferred to the capital, the Ministry of War also needs to be transferred; but you say what's the extra money, what's more? The silver that came. If they return to the local garrison, won't your military headquarters pay? It's ridiculous."

Lu Wan was completely confused and forgot that these two soldiers and horses were actually the officers and soldiers of the guard in active service. There was no reason to refuse to pay at all. Not to mention, he was confused and thought that these were two extra soldiers and horses.

Yang Tinghe was silent with a cold face. Song Nan really did not miss this opportunity. On the occasion of disarmament, he mobilized two guards to station in the capital. One of the two guards was Weizhou Wei, which was the place where Song Nan made his fortune, which can be said to be a direct line. Jiang Bin, the current regimental marquis, has also stayed in Weizhou for more than ten years; and the other soldier and horse is the squad of the central guard of Xuanfu, and Xu Tai, the other marquis under Song Nan, was born in Xuanfu. It can be seen that these two soldiers and horses were selected to become the defense force in Beijing after careful consideration.

That is to say, these two soldiers and horses are absolutely obedient to Song Nan, and I'm afraid no one can dictate them. Although Zhang Lun is in charge of the governor in the Beijing camp, the marquises can't dictate them casually. If there is any abnormal behavior, the marquis will never blindly follow them, but will choose to defect. In the same direction. In other words, the regiment camp could not be fully controlled, so Song Nan chose to establish a new Beijing camp team.

With the Shenshu camp and the foreign army, as well as the two Beijing battalions led by Xu Tai and Jiang Bin as the main force, and Song Nan's nearly 20,000 Jinyi guards in Beijing, roughly calculate that Song Nan can mobilize up to 50,000 soldiers and horses at any time in the future, which is incredible.

Yang Tinghe increasingly feels that the situation is dangerous. If Song Nan is loyal to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, it doesn't matter, but if he has any intention to hold heavy troops, almost no one can suppress him, and no one can stop him, especially when the regiment camp has been greatly weakened, With a full calculation with a magic machine camp, only more than 50,000 people can be useful, which is not an overwhelming advantage.

Yang Tinghe lowered his head and meditated anxiously, and Song Nan's question came to his ears: "Yang Shoufu has asked two questions, but has a third question? It's good to solve the puzzles and make a decision as soon as possible.

Yang Tinhe looked up at Song Nan's young and handsome smiling face and carefully thought about what he could see from the simple white flower-like eyes under the thick eyebrows, but he found nothing in his eyes.

"No, there is no doubt. Lord Song and the British Duke are very considerable. There should be no big mistakes in this matter. On behalf of the lords of the cabinet, I agree that on the day the regiment camp began to rectify, the foreign court must cooperate.

Yang Ting and agreed that others could only express their consent or reserve opinions. The disarmament and rectification of the regiment camp was officially approved, and the imperial edict was issued after Zhengde's permission. At the same time, another imperial edict announcing the establishment of the foreign military camp was also issued, and Song Nan was appointed as the admiral of the foreign two armies to increase the same guard. The soldiers and horses were stationed in Weizhou to fill the vacancy of Weizhouwei and mobilized one guard from Henan to fill the vacancy of Xuanfu Central Guard.

Before the arrival of the fifth New Year of Zhengde, more than a month, the wind and clouds surged, the Beijing camp and the regiment changed greatly, and the composition of soldiers and horses inside and outside the capital also changed greatly. For a while, Song Nan was in the limelight and showed more honor, and everyone in the court looked sideways.

In the face of such a situation, Yang Tinghe finally began to take action to deal with Song Nan. He had already prepared a way, but he didn't want to launch it too early. Now that Song Nan is more powerful, Yang Tinghe, who is calm on the surface, finally has a fear in his heart.

......

On the twenty-eighth night of the twelfth lunar month, Yang Tingyu quietly entered the palace and rushed to the Renshou Palace in the name of giving gifts to the empresses of the harem before the annual leave.

Empress Dowager Zhang was playing a sparrow card with several imperial concubine sisters under the lamp. Hearing Yang Tinghe's request for a meeting, she quickly put the card in her hand to call him to see him. It was a little surprised to see Yang Tin and dressed in an ordinary cotton robe. Yang Tinhe entered the warm pavilion to ask An to bow, so they were silent. The female officials of the imperial concubines knew that Yang Shoufu had something to discuss with the empress dowager, and they all left knowingly.

When the doors and windows of the warm pavilion were closed and there was no one in the room, Yang Ting and the corners of the robe knelt down and kowtowed to Empress Dowager Zhang. Empress Dowager Zhang hurriedly said, "What's wrong with Lord Yang? There is something wrong when you enter the door. Is there anything to say to the mourning family? Last time, the princess chose a son-in-law, I didn't blame you. You'd better take care of the family. If there is a suitable person..."

Yang Ting and his deep voice interrupted: "Empress dowager, I am extremely incompetent. I can do nothing in the court, so I can only turn to the empress dowager; I beg the empress dowager to protect my Ming society."

Empress Dowager Zhang frowned and asked, "Why is it so serious?" What the hell happened?"
