Chapter 57

The next day, Liu Hongjian did not sleep in for the first time. This is a military camp. As a general, he should lead by example.

In the morning, Liu Hongjian was dressed in the military uniform of a thousand households, and led more than 1000 years to run around the Xishan Camp for half an hour. He hadn't exercised for a long time, and Liu Hongjian was also out of breath.

He also cheered up the teenagers from time to time. Almost all of these military children came from poor backgrounds. They had no land to subsidize their families. Most of them went to the mountains to cut firewood almost every day, and their physical strength was more than a little bit better than Liu Hongjian's.

Seeing Mr. Qianhu Guan being so "respectful and virtuous and corporal", the boys were all flattered and tried their best to suck up, but in the end Liu Hongjian couldn't hold on anymore.

There are still many young and strong men in the Xishan Camp who are participating in the recruitment and screening. The recruits from the Qianhu Office of Longevity Mountain ran around, as if they were demonstrating to the Beijing camp, and all the young and strong were eager to join the Beijing camp immediately. .

After the 5000-meter cross-country run, there were already left-behind soldiers making breakfast. Liu Hongjian never sloppy about eating. As long as it doesn't affect his training, he can eat as much as he can to keep himself full.

After the meal, there was a regular stabbing training. Since Liu Hongjian had greeted Li Banghua of the Ministry of War, several training generals came to the Qianhu Office of Longevity Mountain early in the morning.

These more than a thousand recruits will undergo a week-long assessment, and unqualified soldiers will be sent back with money.

Thinking that the time was almost up, Emperor Chongzhen should have finished his morning court. After explaining various matters, Liu Hongjian returned to the capital with a big stick. He was going to the palace to accept the emperor's nagging.

Emperor Chongzhen was really worried these two days. Half of the courtiers were newcomers from poor families. Although at first they thought that these new officials were not bad, and they were very motivated to work.

But it's too late to go too far, the enthusiasm is high, but because he is a novice, he always hits the pole in the east and the stick in the west, making trouble for Chongzhen without any rules.

Today I will go to Shandong to ask for the allocation of funds for the severe drought, and tomorrow I will go to Shaanxi to ask for banditry to send troops to eliminate thieves. work hard?

In the beginning, in order not to dissuade the enthusiasm of poor families and to show his glorious image of being diligent and caring for the people, Chongzhen always waved his hands and allocated funds amidst the compliments of officials.

Poor Chongzhen's money bag, 30 taels was allocated today, and another 50 taels was allocated tomorrow. In just one week, millions of taels disappeared.

And the conscription in the Beijing camp is even more costly. The recruitment of 100 soldiers only costs more than [-] million taels of armor per person, not counting the settling expenses, military salary, and food salary...

Yesterday Duke Cheng, Marquis of Funing, Marquis of Anyuan, Marquis of Lingbi, and Uncle Cheng jointly filed a complaint with him, saying that Uncle An caused the disturbance to the Governor's Mansion, and asked Liu Hongjian, who was in charge, to set the record straight, which made Chongzhen even more troubled.

The Governor's Mansion is full of nobles from the Ming Dynasty. They all shed blood for the Ming Dynasty more than 200 years ago. From Taizu to Chengzu, they have repeatedly emphasized to future generations that they should share weal and woe with the nobles.

But Liu Hongjian is Chongzhen's right-hand man, and his palms and backs are full of flesh. Don't you think it's troublesome?

"Your Majesty, please see Uncle An!" Bingbi eunuch Wang Chengen reported that now that the siege of the capital had been broken, he resigned from his position as the admiral of the capital to serve Chongzhen with peace of mind.

"Xuan!" Chongzhen put down his pen and frowned, the thing that should come still came.

"Your Majesty, did someone sue my humble minister again yesterday?" After saluting, Liu Hongjian went straight to the point.

"..."

"Aiqing listened to who said it, it's nothing!" Chongzhen was speechless for a while, and hurriedly comforted him. Now he needs Liu Hongjian to advise him, but adhering to the legacy of his ancestors, he doesn't want to touch these ancestors for Daming. blood relatives.

"I don't believe it, I saw that old bastard yesterday... Cheng Guogong entered the palace!" Liu Hongjian continued to show his demeanor as a straight man of steel.

"Anyway, I don't care about it, now Da Ming urgently needs to train troops, this army is related to the survival of Da Ming!" It is also related to the life and death of Lao Tzu, Liu Hongjian added in his heart.

"Your Majesty, some nobles are already rotten. If you make an order, I will send people from Jinyiwei to investigate immediately. Once they are checked, they will be sure. Do you believe it?"

Seeing Chongzhen's hand shaking, he seemed a little unhappy, Liu Hongjian realized that what he said was a bit too much, and then he made up the knife again.

"..." Chongzhen was speechless again, he had worked in this position for 17 years, and he never knew the virtues of those nobles.

"We'll discuss this matter later! Does Aiqing have other matters?" Chongzhen is always emotional, and it is the legacy of his ancestors to share weal and woe with Xungui, so what can he do?
"Oh, then when the emperor is short of money to spend, tell the humble minister to take care of you, and smile happily!" Seeing Chongzhen's bitter face, Liu Hongjian didn't insist, and in the end he sent Chongzhen to the army again.

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do. Is this my Wansui Mountain Qianhu Office just opened? At present, there is a lack of generals with military experience. I racked my brains and thought hard, and finally found a few suitable people.

I hope the emperor will make a decree to help the humble ministers recruit! "

“哦?都是谁?”崇祯现在对刘鸿渐真是又爱又恨,这人有才能不错,就是说话……太欠揍了!
"It's not a famous person either! It's just two canon historians and a training officer in Jiangyin County! They are called Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Dunhou!"

Liu Hongjian said without hesitation, two days ago he read the general history of the world in his spare time, and saw the part of Nanming's Hongguang regime and couldn't help being shocked!
It is said that in 1645, the Qing army went south and attacked Jiangyin County.

"Heads can be broken! Hairstyles can't be messed up!"

So the two joined forces with a Jiangyin instructor named Feng Dunhou, and the three of them gathered [-] righteous people to defend Jiangyin County to the death.

In the Ming Dynasty, Dian Shi was just a low-level official with no rank. He was a miscellaneous official of the county magistrate.

But it was these three unknown tough guys who led 81 righteous people to guard the isolated city for [-] days, making the wild boar skin of the Manchu Dynasty lose three kings and eighteen generals.

In the end, the distraught Dorgon brought in more than 200 heavy artillery pieces, and bombarded the small Jiangyin County town for a long time.

After being captured, Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Dunhou resolutely refused to bow their heads and kneel to the wild boar skin. In the end, they were pierced through the tibia and died heroically.

Regarding the tragedy of Jiangyin on the 81st, there are poems from later generations:

The battlefield is full of rotting bones and bones, and the lonely city of thousands of deaths is not willing to surrender.

Send a message to passersby not to cover their noses, the fragrance of the living is not as good as that of the dead.

……

There is such an animal called the honey badger in the vast prairie of Africa. The adult honey badger is about 90 cm long, 39 cm high at the shoulder, and weighs less than 10 kg. party.

Their catchphrase is "life and death are bearish, if you don't accept it, you will do it".

Society flathead brother, people don't talk too much!
In peaceful times, Yan Yingyuan and the other three might have been miscellaneous historians all their lives, but in troubled times, fierce men emerge!

Comrade Lu Xun also said that as long as it is gold, it will always be spent!

Such a fierce and ruthless person must be brought under the account!You must come to my Long Live Mountain, Qianhu, all wood!Liu Hongjian made an oath in his heart at that time.

 Thanks for the reward of 100 coins for watching the ax while drunk!Ask for an assist!Ask for support!
