The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 36
"Your understanding of musical instruments still needs to be deepened."

With a calm expression, Li Yunze gently stroked Liu Rushi's beautiful hair, "But don't worry, you can take your time."

Liu Rushi, who was hesitating while speaking, managed to hold back a sentence, "The concubine knows, and she must practice more in the future."

"Okay." Li Yunze nodded approvingly, "Keep working hard~~~"

"It is important to pay attention to exhalation and breathing, and the way you play the instrument."

"The concubine knows."

After some oral education, Li Yunze casually asked, "You guys have nothing to do, what do you do on weekdays."

Liu Rushi, who came back after drinking tea and rinsing his mouth, responded softly, "It's mostly to play some leaf operas, or go to Yuxi Palace to listen to music and watch operas."

"Playing mahjong is good, this is the quintessence of the country." Li Yunze was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "I have time to wait, and I will also play leaf games with you."

After resting for a while, Li Yunze felt that he could do it again, and said with a smile, "I recently learned a new set of stick techniques, and I want to use it with my concubine."

Liu Rushi covered her mouth and chuckled, "The concubine is waiting."

Li Yunze, who has been free recently, doesn't have much to do every day.

Deal with memorials in the morning, go out to ride horses and run laps in the afternoon, and practice archery when the weather is bad.

After dinner, study musical instrument theory with the girls.

For him, this is a rare leisure time.

It's just that if you want to be a good emperor instead of a foolish emperor, this kind of leisure time is bound to be short-lived.

On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, a few days before the New Year's Day, Man Gui finally came back.

Man Gui, a character who is not very famous in history books.

The reason why his reputation is not obvious, on the one hand, is because he died too early. When Jin entered the Kou Pass for the first time two years after Chongzhen, he died in battle near the capital.

In addition to this, there is another reason that Man Gui is of Mongolian origin.

The ancestor of his family originally moved to Yanzhou during the Yuan Dynasty. Later, he joined the Ming Dynasty and made military achievements, and moved to Xuanfu as an official with the army.

By Mangui's generation, the family has long since fallen.

Although Man Gui himself is of great strength, he has repeatedly made military exploits after joining the army.But it was almost 50 years old before he achieved the rank of chief soldier, that is, the position of a chief soldier.

In addition to having no backer in the court, his identity of Mongolian origin is also an important reason.

It wasn't until Li Yunze promoted him to transfer to the capital that he really made his fortune.

Man Gui was grateful for the emperor's kindness, and when he was ordered to recruit people, he did his best.

Seeing Li Yunze coming out of the city to greet him in person, Man Gui hastily got off his horse and stepped forward to salute, "Your minister, what can you do? Long live to greet him personally. Death penalty."

"Aiqing, please get up."

He untied the fox fur cloak on his body and put it on Man Gui. Li Yunze helped him up with a sincere expression, "The Qing family is not bullied by the Tartars for the people of the Ming Dynasty. It is a great contribution to the country to work hard. It is only natural that I came to welcome you." because the Qing family is the pillar that protects the people of Ming Dynasty."

These words really elevated Man Gui to a very high position, but none of the generals around showed any displeasure.

First of all, Mangui's qualifications are high enough, and under normal circumstances, his qualifications will increase as he gets older.

On the other hand, it was because Man Gui had solid combat exploits.

Man Gui was one of the main commanders of the Ming army in the Battle of Ningyuan and the Battle of Ningjin, which were known as the most important victories during the Tianqi era.

With qualifications and military exploits, Zhao led the way to teach Cao Bianjiao and others, of course, there is nothing to say.

"Long live~~~"

Having been a soldier all his life, he was already a veteran who couldn't express his emotions and anger, and he was also moved to tears at this time.

For a general like him, the greatest pursuit in his life is to meet a suitable king.

Wei Qinghuo Qubing met Han Wu, and their names will last forever.

Feng Tang and Li Guang didn't get along well with Han Wu, and they only got the reputation of "Feng Tang is old, Li Guang is difficult to seal".

It is really difficult to have a king who can understand himself.

"Ai Qing doesn't need to be like this." Li Yunze with a gentle smile supported Man Gui's shoulders, "Let's introduce the recruited warriors to me first."

"According to the order."

"Long live, I have recruited more than [-] people from the grassland this time, and they are all warriors who are willing to die for Daming."

Ever since Sapphire wiped out the small Mongolian court in the battle of Yuerhai, Nuoda's Mongol Empire has completely disintegrated.

Afterwards, although the various tribes continued to rise and fall, and there was even a brilliant victory in Oala's capture of the God of War, the situation of disunity did not ease in the slightest.

Up to now, although the nominal boss on the grassland is Lin Danhan, what he can really master is the Chahar Department.

Horqin and other tribes took refuge in Houjin.

Duoyan Sanwei and other tribes defected to Daming.

In addition, it is more of grass on the wall, whichever side is windy, it will fall to whichever side.

They don't have the concept of a country, and whoever can give enough benefits will work with them.

Man Gui was very well-known among the tribes. When he went out to recruit cavalry with his personal guards and a large amount of food, herdsmen from all tribes came to vote one after another.

Because of the quota limit, Man Gui spent a lot of energy and time on strict selection.

As he said, those who can be recruited with high salaries are all warriors from various tribes.

Proficiency in arching horses and so on, those are the basic qualities.

Accompanied by Man Gui, Li Yunze inspected these warriors from the grassland.

Most of them are powerful and powerful, with bright eyes.

Looking at their bowed legs, you can tell that they all grew up on horseback since childhood.

What a good cannon fodder, it can definitely play a huge role when used on the battlefield with the Tartars.

Standing in front of a group of tribal warriors, Li Yunze asked, "Are you willing to serve me?"

Many warriors all looked at the leader of the strong man, and the strong man responded in stuttering Chinese, "As long as the food and pay of the Heavenly Khan are enough, the lives of the warriors will be the Heavenly Khan's."

What a pure person, as long as the money is in place, he can do anything.

Li Yunze smiled in satisfaction, the most important thing he lacks now is money and food.

"Long live, I have recruited more than [-] cavalry from various military towns in the north." Man Gui then introduced that the cavalry he dug from the foot of the wall on the nine sides "are all brave men who have seen battle with the Tartars. "

The reason for recruiting the warriors of the grassland tribes is to serve as cannon fodder, to use the old to guide the new, to have a guide who knows the inside story when going north to the grassland in the future, and so on.

But the real core strength must be selected from the Ming army.

The more than 3000 riders from Manguila are almost at the level of servants among the military towns in the North.

To be able to recruit so many, on the one hand, Man Gui's face is big enough, and the emperor's prestige is strong enough.

On the other hand, the money, food and salaries paid out far exceeded their current income.

There are benefits and reputation, and Sun Chengzong coordinated and guided them to give some compensation to those generals, so things went smoothly.

Of course, this number is the limit, and it is impossible to make more moves.

For the generals, the servants are the real capital.

Under the pressure of various reasons, it is no problem to throw out a part, but if you throw too much, it will be fatal.

Looking at the Ming army cavalry on tall horses, Li Yunze asked casually, "How many of them are Guanning iron cavalry?"

"Mostly."

The Guanning iron cavalry, which was forced to spend several million taels of Liao's salary every year, has good combat effectiveness, and it is even no problem to hedge against Houjin.

The real problem is that they are no longer the court, not the emperor's soldiers, but the private army of various military leaders.

Man Gui was able to get so many elites from Guan Ning's iron cavalry, Li Yunze still admired him very much.

This is face, this is the ability.

"That's right." Li Yunze nodded satisfied. "In addition to the manpower drawn from the Beijing camp, various guards in Beijing, and various military towns in the pass, and the newly recruited recruits, there are enough 2 troops to rebuild the Fifth Army Battalion."

Looking at Man Gui, who was full of wind and frost in front of him, Li Yunze said sincerely, "Your Majesty will grant you the right governor of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, lead the Fifth Army Battalion as the Chief Military Officer, and add the Prince's junior division."

Man Gui, who was so grateful, immediately saluted, "Thank you for your kindness~~~"

Turning his head to look at Zhao Liaojiao and others, "Zhao Qing's family was appointed the former governor of the five armies, and Prince Shaofu was added. The Huben army merged with the Shenshu camp. The Qing family led the Shenshu camp's chief soldier. Lu Qing's family led the Shenshu camp. Battalion Deputy Commander."

"Longxiang Army merged with Shenji Battalion, Cao Wenzhao granted Zuo Dudu, Commander-in-Chief of Shenji Battalion, commander of Shenji Battalion, and Prince Shaobao. Cao Bianjiao led Deputy Chief of Shenji Battalion. Before Cao Qing's family returned, Commander Xiao Cao will lead the Shenji Battalion."

"I want to rebuild the three major battalions, you must not lose the prestige of the Beijing battalion!"

"Also, Qin Liangyu was given Shizhu Consolation Envoy Qin Liangyu to lead the five armies to the governor's mansion, and added the prince and Taifu to supervise the military affairs of Sichuan and Guizhou. The inner government allocated 200 million taels of silver, 80 shi of grain, and [-] shi of salt to the army. Order him to put down the extravagant rebellion as soon as possible."

Ma Qiancheng was Shizhu's consolation envoy. After his death, because his son was too young, his wife Qin Liangyu took over the post of husband.

Qin Liangyu's ability is outstanding, and his reputation is also extremely high.

When the history books of the Chinese dynasties were compiled, female celebrities were all recorded in the female biographies.

The only exception was Qin Liangyu.

She is the same as a man, a heroine who was passed on as a famous general and recorded in the biography of the official history.

This is a treatment that Hua Mulan, Mu Guiying and others do not have.

As for the She'an Rebellion, it was a local chieftain's rebellion that had lasted for almost ten years.

In the first year of Apocalypse, soldiers from Sichuan went north to Liaodong to fight against Jin after the war. Yongning Xuanfu envoy She Chongming took advantage of the emptiness of Sichuan and Shu troops to launch a rebellion raid, and there was a lot of trouble for a while.

After that, he was defeated and fled south one after another, and joined forces with An Bangyan, the envoy of Shuixi Xuanfu, to continue fighting against Daming.

The rebellion initiated by the chieftains has consumed a lot of time, manpower and material resources of Ming Dynasty, and it is time to resolve it as soon as possible.

Looking around at the many generals, Li Yunze raised his whip and said in a loud voice, "Gentlemen, I intend to send troops to Liaodong next year."

There was a sudden commotion all around.

Starting from the Battle of Saerhu in the 47th year of Wanli, the Ming army has been defeated repeatedly in the face of Houjin for many years. It has completely lost its strategic initiative and can only be passively beaten.

Now that the emperor is actually going to send troops, many people already want to persuade him.

Wielding his horsewhip forcefully, Li Yunze shouted sharply, "My will has been decided, you don't need to say more!"

"What you have to do is to reorganize the troops as soon as possible and practice them strictly. When the time is right, I will personally lead you to go out and suppress the rebellion."

"Do things with your heart, and I will never be stingy with rewards when things are done!"
