Chapter 416: Royal Horse Superintendent Tiger Camp

The Imperial Horse Supervision sent people to the Ministry of War to inquire about the ownership of the Huwei Army. Since Guo Pingguang, the doctor of the Fangsi, returned from the Tianjin Wei investigation, this matter has been delayed.

There is a secret in the officialdom called "dou", which found out the conclusions that were very beneficial to Wang Tong, but it is absolutely impossible to let the Ministry of War under the direct jurisdiction of Grand Secretary Zhang Siwei be included in the organization. Everyone thought that this was not the case and ignored it at all. Wang Tong sent someone to ask questions several times, but they all fooled it.

Anyway, as a local military soldier, Tianjin Wei had no way to urge the Shangfeng Ya to the lungs, so he could only drag it on like this.

Wang Tong urged him several times and understood what the Ministry of War was. He was too lazy to continue to care. He had been so unclear for several years and was not afraid of having more days.

The Ministry of War thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, the Imperial Horse Supervisor in the palace sent someone to ask. The officials in charge were very surprised and had to ask for some questions. After they found out, they were the eunuch Lin Shulu, the eunuch Lin and the eunuch Chu Zhaoren, who agreed to say that the Huwei Army was included in the Imperial Horse Supervisor, were shocked.

Lin Shulu is a cold-faced character, but the admiral Chu Zhaoren had such a big conflict with Wang Tong in Tianjin. Ju Bao still did such a good thing for Wang Tong. Is his head broken?

However, the military command of the Imperial Horse Supervision Department could not get involved at all, and Yetan could pinch his nose and tell the actual situation, and the news spread.

"When Emperor Long Sui laughed, Wang Qianhu trained the Huwei Army in Tianjin Wei. Although it was not in compliance with the regulations, it was also for Emperor Long Sui. After all, it was also added more strength to the Ming Dynasty. If it was not included in the organization, it would be alone in Tianjin Wei. People in the world would see it. Instead, they would say that the court was unfair. I discussed it with Chu Zhaoren and asked the seal where the seal was held. Everyone felt that since the Huwei Army was temporarily placed under the Imperial Horse Supervision, it would be better to be officially included today. I would like to invite the Queen Mother to the Holy Tribunal."

Empress Dowager Li sat on the chair, Lin Shulu and Chu Zhaoren knelt respectfully in front of him. Empress Dowager Li looked at Zhang Jing standing beside him. Zhang Jing just lowered his hands and lowered his head. This attitude signaled that he had already known this side.

No matter how many words or actions in the palace are, we cannot see the superficial phenomenon. Empress Dowager Li naturally understands this truth. She pondered for a while and said slowly:

"Your Si Ai family also understands it. Wang Tong worked hard to make money in the palace in Tianjin Wei, and he still bears such a big reputation. Chu Zhaoren, what you encountered there is a small matter. Why do you want to bring other people's troops? You are so old, how can you be more concerned about the young man?"

After hearing this, the eunuch Chu Zhaoren kowtowed three times and raised his head and said anxiously:

"Empress Dowager, I must not have this idea. The winter clothes purchases of several subordinates this year have used gold, flowers and silver sent by Tianjin Guards. I thought Wang Qianhu was good, so I remembered this. Moreover, Wang Qianhu has a complicated business in Tianjin Guards and has a lot of care. There is also a need for a military force to garrison there. At that time, I will ask the Emperor Long to issue an order to let the Huwei Army guard the Tianjin Guards.

The matters in the Imperial Horse Prison require Empress Dowager Cisheng Li to take charge, but the big move still requires Emperor Wanli to issue an order to implement it. This is also the rule in the palace. Once the order is issued, everything will be clear, and even if you want to do anything, it is impossible. Since that's the case, Empress Dowager Li nodded, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Everything is out of public intention, and it is good to do this badly."

The matter of the Huwei Army entering the Imperial Horse Supervision was settled. After Emperor Wanli dispersed his dynasty in the afternoon, he received news from Cining Palace. He heard that it was Chu Zhaoren who proposed to let the Huwei Army join the Imperial Horse Supervision. Emperor Wanli's first reaction was:

"I don't believe that Chu Zhaoren would have any good intentions. Do you want to transfer the Hu Wei army from Tianjin Wei? Then swallow it one by one?"

Zhang Cheng knew more about the news, and he spoke up on the Q&A from Ciningdong. Seeing that Emperor Wanli was still full of doubts, he persuaded:

"Long live, I feel that if Wang Tong's men are always so nameless and unfair to deal with Tianjin Wei, if they encounter any storm, when they are involved in the principles and rules, they will be abolished. Now there is such an opportunity to be subordinate to the Imperial Horse Prison and have a status quo. This is a mess. Although I don't know what Chu Zhaoren thinks, as long as the organization is set, even if there are any plans in the future, the Imperial Horse Prison and Zhang Jing will look at it. Besides, they are all in the palace. You can also take action." "What you said makes sense. I have issued an order, but you must add one to it. The Huwei Military Barracks officer is Wang Tong, and he must be stationed in Tianjin Wei." Emperor Wanli added, and Zhang Cheng bowed and said, "Long live, I will definitely write it in the will."

In early November, the Huwei Army was about to become the Huwei Camp under the Imperial Horse Supervision. The news that the Tianjin Guards were stationed in Tianjin began to spread in the capital. Those who really knew the inside story knew that the news would soon become a reality. Everyone had no concern about this, because in the past, the news that the Huwei Army was under the Imperial Horse Supervision had been circulating. Some people were worried that the inner court's military power was too heavy, and it might affect the balance between the inside and the outside, but this could not be said. The matters in the palace were particularly concerned about their own interests. It would be best to intervene less and speak less.

The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and Minister of War Zhang Siwei is said to have become angry in his own residence and discuss with the Qingke staff how to submit a memorial to stop this matter. However, the Cabinet assistant Zhang Juzheng had no objection to this matter, and he did not even mention it at the court meeting, so everyone did not see Zhang Siwei opposing this matter in any public occasion.

I don’t know what the palace was thinking outside, but there was a guess that Wang Tong went to the palace so often, and finally moved the whole house.

Chu Zhaoren, the governor of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, was originally laughed at for the incident in Tianjin Wei, but after this incident, he was repaid with kindness, and his evaluation of him inside and outside the palace gradually increased.

He believed that this person was not worried about past grudges, could do his job fairly, and did not let down the promotion and attention of Empress Dowager Cisheng and Long Live. In November, Chu Zhaoren also proposed that the various battalions of the Imperial Horse Supervision would be lazy for a long time, and they would not be able to deal with anything. They should take advantage of the autumn and winter season to practice instead of fighting.

If all the bigwigs inside and outside the capital had any doubts before, they would be gone now. They all think that Chu Zhaoren has to make a hard work.

As usual, the Admiral was the Minister of War or the Right Censor of the Censorate. If he saw the inner court's imperial guards practicing like this, he would probably be considered incompetent or useless. He had to urge the army to practice hard, and talk about slogans such as fighting instead of training and living up to the holy grace.

After a while, the imperial guards and soldiers from inside and outside the capital were trained hard. The soldiers seen by the royal family, officials and the people in the capital were all rich and idle people. It was rare to see such diligence. They praised them for a moment. It is said that Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli praised Chu Zhaoren.

The fact that the Huwei Army became the leader of the Imperial Horse Supervisor was nothing more than a few words in the capital, but when it came to Tianjin Wei, there would be lightning and thunder.

After receiving the news, Yu Jiyong, the Tianjin Guard Preparatory Road, hurriedly negotiated with Wang Tong. The supply of food and equipment in the camp stationed in this camp must be determined.

Qi Jiguang, the general general of Ji Town, sent someone to send a letter to Sun Zhibin, and the general of Tianjin guarding Sun Zhibin also came to visit him. Now Wang Tong has the responsibility to defend the territory. Both sides led their troops to station in Tianjin Guards, and they must discuss a scope of coordinated defense to avoid unclear rights and responsibilities.

These things like processes and details are the most troublesome. Wang Tong was patient and determined like them. Fortunately, everything was already arrogant, and it was nothing more than an official article.

Everything from military commanders to soldiers, from barracks to supplies is complete, so I don’t worry about it.

But now Wang Tong is not concerned about this, but what the Portuguese who were collected in the Bromide Gate can do. The dozens of craftsmen who were called out for the second time have been busy in the craftsman's workshop.

The Westerners' skills are indeed better. The artillery used by Tianjin Wei was cast the day after they were first drawn, but this artillery was not the "field artillery" that they had asked for at the time to move and carry it very troublesome.

However, if you want to build facilities such as gunfire craftsmen, the tools in the firearms workshop are not enough. If you can make useful things, you can get silver rewards. After casting artillery like Tianjin Wei, each person has already received five taels of silver, which is far from the two small boxes of silver ingots they saw in the isolation area.

If you can create something better, you will get more rewards. Shao - a nobleman and a craftsman leader explained that these people were busy.

Wang Tong and Ren Yuan, the person in charge of the Fire Organs Square, were originally a civil servant who likes engineering technology. It really made him very happy that so many Portuguese craftsmen who knew different things came over. After some of the guesses and thoughts in his mind, he finally found an opportunity to verify it.

Wang Tong only took a few occasions to see him, but Ren Yuan didn't even go home and was busy here every day. He was busy with iron melting furnace, clay, straw, wood, boring knives, drilling rigs, and a large number of materials to be collected, and many tools need to be manufactured again.

According to Ren Wan's return, it is not difficult to build a cannon itself. What takes time is to create various handy tools. When Chen Zi's soldiers went to search, they just took away some of the houses they carried with them. Many large devices thought they were useless decorations and threw them on the side of the bromine gate. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Wang Tong understood this principle, so he transferred a large amount of money.
