Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 239 The Lonely Brave

No one is born loyal. The so-called loyalty is influenced by the general environment and gradually realized in the process of growing up step by step.

The problem existing in the Ming Dynasty at this stage is that the promotion channels that have been built are controlled by a group of privileged factions. There are relatives, officials and gentry, and landlords. Talents struggling at the bottom have no hope at all.

This fundamental core cannot be resolved, and it is absolutely impossible for Emperor Chongzhen to gain the loyalty of more people.

"Old Kong, you're so fucking shady, you're playing this trick with me." Huang Degong was a little panting, staring at Kong Youde with shining tiger eyes, and said, "We are both the leaders of the vanguard army. It means to have a contest, but you can't play tricks on me."

"Why did I play tricks on you?"

Kong Youde glared and shouted: "Why don't I just kill a few bandits and ask them to form auxiliary soldiers to help me transport some of the luggage, you bastards can do the same.

Let's make this clear. I made a bet with you at the beginning, but I never said anything else. You didn't remember it yourself. It's my fault. "

When Emperor Chongzhen was busy inspecting and condolences, the Daming Yulin Army, which belonged exclusively to him, the Yongwei Battalion and some Tianxiong troops who were ordered to leave Beijing, under the leadership of the senior generals, secretly marched towards the Zhangjiakou area under the rule of Xuanfu Town. .

"you……"

Huang Degong, who was choked and speechless, stared at Kong Youde, even though he felt a lot of aggrieved, he couldn't vent it, after all, he lost the bet.

"What are you, you are willing to bet and admit defeat." Kong Youde smiled slightly, looked at Huang Degong and said, "If you don't have eggs, just treat what you said earlier as farting."

"You don't have any fucking eggs!"

Huang Degong stared and said: "Isn't it just that after his mother returns to Beijing, he will serve you for ten days, what a fart, I will do what I say."

"Ha ha……"

Kong Youde looked up to the sky and laughed, and told the proud Huang Degong to serve him for ten days. Thinking about it, he made his mother happy. If it weren't for the time when he was leading the army, he would have had to drink a few jars of strong wine.

"Okay, stop fucking laughing."

Seeing Kong Youde like this, Huang Degong rolled his eyes at him, frowned and said, "I'm telling you something serious. You said that His Majesty told me to leave Beijing secretly and go to Zhangjiakou area. What's the matter?"

In fact, from the moment he was ordered to leave Beijing and secretly rushed to the Zhangjiakou area, during the march, whether it was Huang Degong who had thought about it, the generals of the other senior generals also thought about it.

If it was really just a special assessment, why did you ask the Yuma Supervisor to supervise the eunuchs, and Fang Zhenghua, who supervised the Xijishi Factory, led a large number of Xichang factory fans to follow them?
All the way from the capital to the administration of Baoan Prefecture, doubts like this were completely fermented in Huang Degong's and his group's hearts.

"I can't say for sure."

Kong Youde frowned slightly, looked at Huang Degong and said: "Your Majesty's thoughts, who can guess, even the Lord General Zhou and Deputy General Chen probably don't know much.

It is unrealistic to send out so many elite soldiers and ask me to dispatch all the senior generals' squad just for special assessment, consume so much military rations, and carry a large number of ordnance and firearms.

His majesty is so wise and mighty, he will definitely not do meaningless things. "

Huang Degong was silent. What Kong Youde said was indeed very true, and his thoughts were similar to Kong Youde's.

"Old Kong, do you think there is a possibility?"

Huang Degong glanced around, and said to Kong Youde: "Your Majesty wants me to lead the army from Zhangjiakou to Shanshan and Shaanxi, and launch a corresponding offensive against the bandits who are raging under the rule of Shanxi."

Regardless of the situation in the Gyeonggi area, it has gradually stabilized now, but in other places in Daming, many are in an unstable state.

Kong Youde fell into deep thought. It's not that he hadn't thought about this possibility, but based on his understanding of the emperor and the accompanying Xichang Fan, he felt that this possibility was unlikely.

Through the martial arts lecture hall created in Xiyuan, they are gathered in the senior general class. In addition to perfecting and practicing various subjects, they also need to take into account the training of the middle and low-level general classes.

Kong Youde understands a truth, that is, in today's world, he wants to train more reliable generals through these powerful generals.

Combined with what the emperor had done recently, Kong Youde had an intuition that the emperor wanted to clean up the Beijing camp, but Kong Youde didn't know exactly when.

"Probably not."

Kong Youde restrained his mind, frowned and said: "Just because of Dongchang Fan and Fang Zhenghua who accompanied him, His Majesty would not ask me to go to another place.

Alright, let me tell you, instead of racking your brains here and trying to figure out the holy will, it's better to go to the Zhangjiakou area as soon as possible, the weather is getting colder and colder now.

The group of elite men under our command are all athletes that His Majesty values ​​very much. Don't tell them to suffer from frostbite or freeze to death. What we need to do is bring them to Zhangjiakou. "

"Right."

Huang Degong rubbed his chin, nodded and said: "Why do you think about these things, you are so troublesome, and when we get to Zhangjiakou, we will know what your majesty wants.

By the way, it's interesting for me to talk with you for such a long time. This time, the time I spend serving you in Beijing will be halved.

gone! "

"You bastard!!!"

Seeing Huang Degong who got up and walked away quickly, Kong Youde, who was sitting, stared and shouted: "Huang Degong, you are a fucking profiteer!! You are playing this trick for me, right?"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Huang Degong, who laughed and left, stretched out his hand and waved to Kong Youde, and replied without any hesitation: "This bastard is called a soldier who never tires of cheating."

During the time we got together in the Xiyuan Lecture Hall, this group of titans from all over the world gradually became able to work together after confrontation and collision in the early stage.

However, there is still a big gap from Emperor Chongzhen's standards. After all, the experience of these brave generals is completely different, especially the former generals of the Dongjiang Army like Kong Youde. It will take a while for them to really put down their guard. The grinding of time.

This time all the senior generals were dispatched to the Zhangjiakou area in secret. In addition to eradicating the eight major Shanxi merchants, Emperor Chongzhen had another deep meaning.

By participating in one thing together, fighting side by side during the period, and conducting healthy competition, they can let go of their guard against each other, and can truly begin to integrate into the group of the martial arts hall.

Before the echelon of talents that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to cultivate had not yet been cultivated, how to make good use of these existing talents was what Emperor Chongzhen had to do.
