Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 334

Emperor Chongzhen had two completely different attitudes towards the group of generals he selected and the group of civil servants in power.

Rewards and punishments are clear.

Emphasize the task.

It is what Emperor Chongzhen has been doing.

Since Mao Chenglu and Huang Degong were all recruited into the Xiyuan Lecture Hall, the Emperor Chongzhen must clarify a thought and truly treat everyone equally.

Even though deep down in his heart, he relied more on the loyal generals Zhou Yuji and Cao Wenzhao, but in terms of demeanor and attitude, he must not show it.

It is not easy to create a new army of Ming Dynasty.

If due to its own reasons, the new army of the Ming Dynasty did not establish a good military spirit, it would undoubtedly be shooting itself in the foot.

"The last general is waiting...to take orders!"

Facing the emperor's resolute attitude, Mao Chenglu, Huang Degong, Kong Youde and others clasped their fists and shouted.

"This is my tiger general."

Emperor Chongzhen put away his serious expression, smiled again, and said: "Okay, get up, there are no outsiders here, between the monarch and his ministers, there is no need to be so restrained."

Emperor Chongzhen recognized the abilities of Mao Chenglu and other generals, otherwise he would not have spent a lot of effort to obtain their allegiance.

"The business is over, now I have to talk about other things."

Emperor Chongzhen walked forward slowly. Seeing this, Mao Chenglu and the others hurriedly leaned over and followed behind him, "How do you feel about these days of training in the Xiyuan Lecture Hall?"

In response to the continued corruption of the Ming army, it performed extremely unsatisfactorily in the matter of suppressing rebellion and building captives, and suppressing rebellion and thieves.

In the heart of Emperor Chongzhen, he showed a strong enthusiasm for the creation of the new Ming army and the development of the martial arts hall.

After all, this is the only chance to change Daming.

If you want to call the Ming Dynasty's new army to achieve cornering overtaking, in the future on the battlefield, you can crush the Jianlu Eight Banners, suppress the bandits, and shock the entire Ming Dynasty, you must move closer to the hot weapon sequence.

With full-time professional soldiers as the backbone, emphasizing military regulations and discipline, emphasizing ideology, and emphasizing system supervision, the new Ming army created will surely become the strongest in this era.

On the other side of the Weapons Institute, firearms and artillery are being developed.

On the other side of Xishan, the military industry system is being prepared.

The two front lines in Shaanxi and Liaoqian are planning a troop training mechanism.

Now Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu and the others have also begun to leave the Xiyuan Lecture Hall, and are about to rise gradually.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had a strong family background, had absolute confidence to train a group of professional military officers and create a new army with a scale of [-] during the established three-year temporary stabilization period!

"As far as... the feelings of the junior generals, in the martial arts hall, we attach great importance to the training of middle and low-level generals." Mao Chenglu glanced at the few people around him and said first.

"Especially the detailed subjects, so that the students of the martial arts hall who are studying in different fields can practice and master various techniques and tactics in this field in a more detailed way."

Emperor Chongzhen, who was listening, nodded slightly and did not interrupt.

Since it is to listen to opinions, it is necessary to let go of your figure and tell the tiger generals under your command to dare to speak out what is in your heart.

This not only brings them closer together, but also deepens their loyalty.

"What I feel the most at the end of the day is the item 'post-war summary'."

Huang Degong thought for a while, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "In my Ming army, there was no such mechanism before. The battle... is over, and it has nothing to do with the middle and low-level generals.

But summing up this mechanism after the war, it allowed all the generals and schools under his command to gather together and express their opinions on the wars that were unfolding, even the wars that were won. "

The military power of the Ming Dynasty was strong for a period of time, and then declined for a period of time, and the general trend was to continue to decline.

The fundamental reason for this is that there is no continuous inheritance.

Once the generals who were able to fight were all killed or old, and the newly promoted generals performed unsatisfactorily, or they were simply out of money, which led to the failure of the Ming army.

"There are also seven special departments set up by His Majesty, especially the establishment of the General Staff Section, Gendarmerie Section, and Teaching Section. In a sense, it makes up for many shortcomings of our Ming army..."

"Your Majesty, the general thinks that the literacy campaign is also a very good thing. In fact, for my Ming army, I can command the troops..."

With the tacit encouragement of Emperor Chongzhen, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming expressed their opinions one after another. This special experience made everyone very excited.

"I am very pleased that you can tell this."

Emperor Chongzhen stopped in his tracks, smiled gratifiedly, looked at Mao Chenglu and the others, and said, "And some of what you said was beyond my expectation, what does this mean?
In the past Xiyuan Lecture Hall, you have lived up to my expectations.

Just like what you said, I will tell you why I called you to the Siwei Camp and Xishan Firearms Camp, and even Cao Wenzhao and the others to go to the Shenji Camp. "

"Crack~"

The few people who heard this remark hurriedly leaned on their feet and raised their chests, looking at Emperor Chongzhen with a resolute expression.

"I am very dissatisfied with the existing army of the country, whether it is Liaoqian, Shanshan, or other border towns."

Emperor Chongzhen's expression was cold and stern, and he said loudly: "With the rations allocated by the imperial court, you have achieved such a shameful record.

Even under the influence of the bad atmosphere, the situation of eating empty salary, drinking blood, and treating the soldiers under his command harshly is extremely serious.

You generals and schools who are studying in the martial arts hall, including the Tianxiong Army, the Zhongyong Army, and the Yongwei Battalion, are all groups that I trust.

Whether Daming's army can be changed in the future and whether it can suppress the rebellion depends entirely on you. I have no hope for those mediocre people who are in their positions and do not seek their own political power. "

"Loyal to Daming!"

"Loyalty to Sheji!"

Hearing what the Son of Heaven said, Mao Chenglu and the others couldn't hide their excitement, and they all shouted loudly.

"I know my loyalty to you."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "So...after you take up important positions, I will ask you to do one more thing."

"Please show your Majesty!"

Mao Chenglu and the others raised their heads and said loudly without thinking.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

To gain the trust of the emperor, for Mao Chenglu and other generals, they have no other way to demonstrate their abilities other than loyalty.

"I want you to set up a lecture hall for the army in the teams you lead." Emperor Chongzhen looked at Mao Chenglu and the others with firm eyes, and said seriously.

"According to the standard, refer to the Xiyuan Lecture Hall, discover more talents under your command, train middle and low-level generals, and reach a certain scale after half a year.

Can it be done? "

"can!!"

Mao Chenglu and the others shouted immediately.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about the matter of teaching martial arts with the army for a long time. It is definitely not enough to create a new army of Ming Dynasty and expand the scale of the new army.

So he wants to expand the scale and volume of the martial arts hall.
