Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

"The relocation of the Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenshu Battalion, including the abolition of stragglers, you have done a good job in these things."

Emperor Chongzhen walked forward with his hands behind his back, and praised the accompanying Mao Chenglu and Kong Youde and his party: "This reduces the heavy burden on the country, and it also directly or indirectly promotes the implementation of some plans.

For example, the establishment of the nine-door admiral's mansion.

For example, the military aircraft department is in charge of abolishing the Beijing security affairs.

So in your hearts, you are always tightening a string. As a leader in the Beijing camp, you have to do more and talk less in everything. Your words and deeds will be watched by many people. "

"I would like to obey the edict!"

Mao Chenglu and Kong Youde responded immediately.

Mao Chenglu and the others could clearly feel the concern for the emperor, which was completely different from the previous one under the command of Dongjiang Town.

This also made Mao Chenglu and the others understand that the emperor was unaware of the various discrimination and injustice they had experienced before, let alone secretly instigated it.

From the transfer of the Dongjiang Army to the capital as a general, the vigilance that Mao Chenglu and the others had in their hearts has long since disappeared with the passage of time.

What they think now is to do their job well and live up to the high hopes and expectations of the emperor.

"Let's talk about it, what do you think about the future development of Beijing Camp?"

Emperor Chongzhen stopped in his tracks, turned to look at Mao Chenglu and the others, and said seriously: "Whether it's the rebellion against the bandits or the suppression of the rebellion by the Jianlu, the situation is more stable than before.

However, if these rampant rebellious forces are not completely suppressed and eradicated, the stability of the Ming Dynasty will not subside for a day.

Although the main duty of the Jingying is to defend the stability of the capital, in my eyes, if it is time to go out to fight, then go out to fight. "

"Your Majesty is wise."

Mao Chenglu looked serious, bowed his head and said: "I do have some thoughts about the future development of the Fifth Army Battalion. Can Your Majesty allow the Fifth Army Battalion to restore more cavalry?

In view of the overall trend of the Ming Dynasty's current rebellion, in order to gain a dominant advantage on the battlefield, in addition to developing firearms troops and enhancing the power of artillery, more attention should be paid to the construction and development of cavalry.

From the perspective of the three battalions, the Shenji Battalion tends to kill with firearms, and the Shenshu Battalion tends to defend against the enemy. The positioning of the five battalions should be inclined to the mixed formation of cavalry.

In this way, if a rebellion in a certain place needs to be suppressed, corresponding soldiers and horses can be drawn from the three major battalions and mixed to form a joint army. Under coordinated operations, the combat power can be brought to the extreme. "

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he nodded in approval. In fact, even if Mao Chenglu didn't talk about it, he was going to redefine the focus of the three camps.

Fighting on the battlefield in this era is not a single-armed battle. Cavalry, pikemen, shield soldiers, chariot soldiers, crossbowmen, musketeers, artillerymen, etc., the subdivision is very clear.

At the time of the Royal Conquest, he fought with the invading Jianlu Eight Banners, so that Emperor Chongzhen knew better than anyone else the necessity of coordinating the development of the new army of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I also have some ideas."

Kong Youde followed closely behind and said, "Now the Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenshu Battalion are beginning to screen for new recruits, although they are supported by the backbone of the Four Guards Battalion.

However, when it comes to the supplement and development of middle and low-level general schools, it cannot be underestimated. …

So, on the side of the three battalions, can we build a Jingying lecture hall with reference to the system of the Xiyuan lecture hall, so that we can train more middle and low-level generals faster and more. "

"Both of these things are necessary."

Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and said: "In this way, when you go back, you will write a memorial and submit it to the imperial court. Write down in detail how it should be clarified and how it should be developed step by step.

Now that the Shenji Battalion is ordered to go to Shaanxi to fight, you are here in Gyeonggi, and you should play a role in checking for omissions and filling vacancies for the overall development of the three major battalions. "

The construction of the Ming army should be done by professionals. For example, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty interfered in military affairs, and Emperor Chongzhen gradually restricted it.

Separation of government and military is the way to go.

"Your Majesty, I still have an idea." Shang Kexi stepped forward and said, "The overall standard of the artillery team under Shenshu Battalion is still relatively low.

I know that the Xishan Firearms Battalion has a large number of elite soldiers who are proficient in artillery. Can you transfer a group of elite soldiers from Xishan to supplement the Shenshu Battalion? "

Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with the current performance of Mao Chenglu and Kong Youde. These are talented generals. If they can really serve the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely play a decisive role in the construction of the new Ming army.

"My lord, Sun Dushi has submitted the secret performance."

Just when Emperor Chongzhen was about to say something, Cao Huachun hurried over holding a secret melody.

"Bring it up."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Emperor Chongzhen took the secret memorial.

Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and the others looked at each other with some doubts in their expressions. At this time, Liaoqian submitted the secret memorial. Could something have happened?

"Haha, this Jianlu is nothing more than that."

Just when everyone was puzzled, Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen in southern Liaoning. Well, I really saw Li Zicheng right.

All of you, take a look. "

With that said, Emperor Chongzhen handed the secret play in his hand to Mao Chenglu and the others.

"There is a large-scale rebellion in the south of Liaoning?" Mao Chenglu looked astonished when he saw the content of the secret memorial. "Even the Jianlu mobilized a lot of soldiers and horses, but they couldn't suppress it?"

"Who is this Li Zicheng?"

Kong Youde said in surprise: "In such a short period of time, such a storm can be caused, and Xiuyan City can even be taken down. This is really unimaginable."

As former generals under Mao Wenlong's command, Mao Chenglu and Kong Youde knew the situation in Liaodong very well, and they also knew the Jianlu Eight Banners very well.

The secret report submitted by Sun Chengzong clearly stated the current situation in Liaodong, but Mao Chenglu and the others did not expect that the opportunity to stir up the situation in Liaodong was actually someone who had never heard of it before.

"It's enough to know these things in your heart." Seeing that everyone was confused, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "It seems that the deployment for Liaodong should be increased.

In the eyes of the world, Jianlu is invincible, but the hidden dangers hidden behind it are ignored by Jianlu's victories again and again.

Now the situation in Liaodong has changed a lot, you all must hurry up and practice the Fifth Army Battalion and Shenshu Battalion as soon as possible, and submit the memorial to the imperial court as soon as possible if you have any thoughts in your mind.

At that time, I plan to solve some rebellions, and I want you to fight, and I will lose the chain at the critical moment. Go, I still have some things to deal with. "

"The ministers obey the order."

Mao Chenglu and Kong Youde responded immediately.
