golden scales

"I'm still the emperor of Ming Dynasty! I can't decide where I'm going!" Chongzhen was so angry that Zhou Hou in the backyard couldn't listen anymore. .

On July [-]th, the holy driver of the Ming emperor arrived in Tai'an Prefecture. After staying in the East Palace at the foot of Mount Tai, he refused to travel south again.

At this moment, Wu Xuan, Sun Chuanting and a group of courtiers are standing on both sides of the emperor, watching the 34-year-old emperor lose his temper, while other book friends are reading:.

Ever since he arrived at Qingshiguan, Chongzhen felt something was wrong, and tentatively proposed to go to Dezhou.Xiao Donglou, who was in charge of taking over the security work, was very happy, but none of the courtiers agreed.They used the firmest tone, the most perfect logic, and the richest examples to dispel the illusion of the emperor's personal conquest.

"Your Majesty, the world is in turmoil. It is time for Your Majesty to return to the court as soon as possible to stabilize people's hearts. How can he personally take risks?" Jiang Riguang successfully welcomed the emperor to go south. Every day he went south, his status would be higher, of course not. Ken let the emperor go north.And after finally leaving the "control" of the crown prince, wouldn't he become a puppet again if he went to Texas?

"I just want to see with my own eyes how the soldiers fought bravely, what's wrong with that!" Chongzhen shouted.He shook off his messy hair, looked at the guard outside the door, and shouted: "Xiao Donglou!"

"The last general is here!" Xiao Donglou strode forward, his iron armor rustling.

"I order you, I order you to lead my troops immediately to escort me north to Dezhou!" Chongzhen was so angry that he could hardly breathe.

"Your Majesty," Xiao Donglou raised one eye, "the last general must not leave the place of faith."

"You are afraid of death!" Chongzhen shook his hands heavily, and rushed out the door in two steps: "This is a big day, but there are still loyal people who are willing to follow me to the north!"

The guards of the second battalion in the yard stood upright and stood still, as if they hadn't heard anything. .

"Isn't there a warrior!" Chongzhen stomped heavily.

Sun Chuanting and Wu Tong looked at each other.He had no choice but to step forward and say, "Your Majesty, even if General Xiao is willing to go north to kill the enemy, he might not be able to take a single soldier with him."

"Nonsense!" Chongzhen turned around abruptly, staring at Sun Chuanting: "Isn't it just Wenyi of the Ministry of War? You give it to him!"

Sun Chuanting lowered his head to hide his wry smile.What is the use of Bingbu Wenzhi?Would the military judges and training officers in the Donggong guard camp watch a general mess around without a military order?Even if they are all reckless, is it possible for the Ministry of War to provide food and supplies without the prince's military order?

"I want His Highness's warrant." Jiang Riguang never let go of any opportunity, and always wanted the emperor to realize that he was actually imprisoned by the crown prince.The imperial power has already been trampled into the soil.And myself.And the ministers in the south of the Yangtze River represented behind them are the loyal ministers who truly defend the imperial power and defend the emperor!

It is impossible for the courtiers to impeach the crown prince unless they intend to kill the net.but.If the emperor himself is dissatisfied with the crown prince and proposes to change the crown prince... the civil servants only need to look decent.Although the Ming Dynasty did not have an abolished crown prince, there are many allusions in the history before the Ming Dynasty.

Wu Tong lowered his eyes slightly, and went out of the class to play: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince protects the holy driver with his own personal guards, and his filial piety can be an example for the world. If His Majesty refuses to appreciate it, I am afraid that His Highness will be chilled."

"Hehe," Jiang Yueguang said with a smile, "Mr. Wu's words are very true. Your Majesty. I think that Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, should be transferred to escort Nanxing. His Royal Highness's guards are all masters of hundreds of battles. They can be transferred to the north to guard The enemy fought hard and regained the lost land. As long as we reach the boundary of Xuzhou, the world will still be peaceful."

Luo Yukun occupied Xuzhou and set up a coal and iron factory.This is already a well-known public news in the East Palace system, but it is unheard of for Jiang Riguang, who has no news.Moreover, Gao Jie's death was also said to be a mutiny in the battalion, and he died at the hands of the rebels. If Luo Yukun hadn't been there, there would have been no longer the Great Ming Red Flag on the city of Xuzhou.

Wu Tong smiled at this, and thought to himself: With Luo Yukun from Xuzhou around, Ma Shiying would not be able to bring many soldiers.His Highness asked the emperor to go to Yanzhou because he wanted to improve the situation of the royal family, but he had no intention of letting the emperor out of control.It is a great good thing that the emperor is making such a fuss now.

"Your Majesty, I think you can send an order to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, to send troops to Jinan Mansion to be stationed in King De's Mansion." Ni Yuanlu said after leaving the class: "Or drive to Yanzhou from now on and stay in Lu King's Mansion. How can the Holy Son of Heaven be honored with the honor of ninety-five years?" Living in the grass for a long time?"

Wu Xuan was secretly happy, the water became more and more muddy.

"I'm going to make an order now, other book friends are reading:!" Chongzhen's tone remained unchanged, but his momentum was no longer there.

……

On July [-]th, the imperial decree arrived at the Dezhou camp.

Zhu Cihong did not arrange the incense case to receive the order, but just took it and watched it because of the tense military situation on the front line.Seeing that the emperor wanted to come to Dezhou with all his heart, he was not reluctant, and as an emperor, seeing these brave men who worked hard for him could correct some wrong ideas.It's just something on the battlefield, no one can say it well, Feiya and stray bullets always like to make some historical jokes.

If something happened to the emperor in Dezhou, several provinces in the south of Ming Dynasty might change drastically within ten days.Those warlords must have prepared their vassal kings long ago, and they came out one by one to supervise the country.

After Wang Zhixin went to Nanjing, at least part of the grain and regular taxes in Jiangnan could be collected.

"Let the soldiers have a good rest." Zhu Cihong announced the end of the meeting, "General You, General Li, follow me to patrol the camp and then rest."

You Shiwei and Li Changling took orders immediately.

The generals and schools returned to their garrison defense areas. Zhu Cihong led the veterans of the general staff to patrol the battalions, visiting the wounded and sick in the hospital, and comforting them.After this set of work was completed, the night was already dark.

"Generals, please rest earlier, the battle ahead still has to be fought." Zhu Cihong himself was a little sleepy, but seeing these veterans' faces still flushed and not showing signs of tiredness, he couldn't help admiring them.

"Your Highness," You Shiwei said, "the general will have a word in his heart for a long time, and he will never utter it."

Zhu Cihong cheered up and said: "The general is in charge of remonstrance, how can you not talk about it?"

"Your Highness," You Shiwei said, "What Guan Pingzhou, the staff officer of the First Battalion said that day, was not all childish words." He looked at the expression on the crown prince's face, and said: "Our army has always been based on elite soldiers. It is heavy, but actually it is a bit too refined. If we can shorten the training time for new recruits, and expand the scale with a period of one full moon, we will be able to achieve greater results."

"Your Highness," Li Changling also interjected, "our soldiers practice day and night, and the training for one month is enough for the three months of the past, enough for the battle."

Zhu Cihong nodded slightly, took two steps under the starry sky, and said: "You two generals, if you only train for a month and your courage is not yet strong, can you survive today's battle formation?"

"Your Highness, I am afraid that there is only one soldier who can defend the iron cavalry without retreating." Li Changling has a bad temper and usually doesn't talk much. Once he opened his mouth, he would not let go.

"So, if we train a group of soldiers who are afraid of cavalry and turn their heads when they see the cavalry, two more battalions will be useless. Not only will a month's rations be wasted, but a major event will also be missed." Zhu Cihong said: "When I first came out of Beijing to aid Sun Du, the guard battalion also tried to use two months of soldiers to fight, and the battle damage was obviously greater than now. After careful calculation, it was still a loss."

"Your Highness, the number of our army is too small to bear the burden." You Shiwei said earnestly.

"That's right," Zhu Cihong shook his head and said, "Suppose our soldiers train for one month, and their combat power is one; after two months of training, their combat power will be two; if they train for three months, their combat power will be three? No? , It’s four! If it’s to save time, isn’t it a loss? Think about it, the two generals, is this the truth?”

Both You Shiwei and Li Changling have carefully studied the training syllabus and know that the first month of training for recruits focuses on queues, physical fitness and discipline, and other training is just embellishment.On this basis, the second month is biased towards marching and camping training.In the third month, the actual combat training of various combat skills and changing formations against the enemy will be intensified.Without the foundation of the first two months, the third stage of training cannot be carried out.Without the intensive training in the third stage, these recruits are not enough to complete the transition from peasant soldiers to professional soldiers.

"Don't worry, the two generals," Zhu Cihong reassured: "After our army is equipped with muskets, the training speed will be much faster. Our army's combat effectiveness will probably be able to recover to the level of Qi's army."
