The training of the naval soldiers was very hard, and the rectification movement was also very bloody, among them, especially the pirates brought back by Zheng Zhilong and Yan Siqi made serious mistakes, and there were also a lot of mistakes.

The bloody slaughter lasted for a whole week, but the effect worked well, and the atmosphere of the soldiers in the entire naval fleet was completely new, as if it were a different person. After that, the coastal city defense troops in various places sent the recruited recruits one after another.

At this time, in addition to the reading tide set off by the Imperial Daily, there was also a wave of conscription, and countless people flocked to the military departments of various counties to enlist in the army. Military salary, welfare, honor, status, and future are all reasons why countless young people want to join the army.

In this case, it is not very difficult for the naval fleet to recruit 100,000 people. It lasted for about a month, and the coastal city sent 100,000 good families to Tianjin. The influx of 100,000 people brought about a period of continuous prosperity.

Countless grains, clothes, meat, grain and oil, etc., are consumed very much, and every day, Tianjin Port is a ship that transports countless ships. But fortunately, Zhu Youxiao's family is rich, and he can support it.

He spent a long time in Tianjin, from November to December, and did not return to Beijing until the eve of the government holiday. If he hadn't seen that the training of the navy soldiers had been on the right track, he would have stayed longer.

As for the hussar general Li Tu, he did not come back with him, but stayed in Tianjin, serving as the general person in charge of this recruit training and rectification movement, and will continue to advance, and this time, Zhu Youxiao is expected to be about a year, and if he does not lay a good ideological foundation for the navy, he is not at all worried about the expansion of the scale.

Anyway, there are enough cavalry of 20,000 in the northeast, and with Xiong Tingbi, the city defense army has already been formed, and the combat effectiveness is quite good, and there is no big problem.

"Orb, I'm back." After arriving at the palace for a while, Zhu Youxiao rushed to the harem to visit Zhang Yan and his daughter.

In Kunning Palace, Zhang Yan was pushing a cradle, babbling and humming inexplicable children's rhymes, coaxing her daughter to sleep, and when she saw the emperor coming back, she stood up happily and greeted her, "Your Majesty is back, change your clothes quickly, be careful that the anger in the army rushes to your daughter." ”

"Haha, Baozhu is right, I was careless." Zhu Youxiao laughed, immediately went down to bathe and change clothes, and came over again when the whole person washed away the dust and looked new.

Soon, he came to the side of the cradle, leaned over and looked inside, inside, a small ball of flesh was lying down, his eyes were wide open, flying white and distinct, looking very pure, Zhu Youxiao could see his reflection from the eyes of this little man.

The villain didn't know if he was not afraid of life or felt that the big face in front of him had a special relationship with him, and he didn't feel scared at all, so he grinned at Zhu Youxiao, and stretched out his chubby little hand and touched Zhu Youxiao.

"Haha, baby girl is so cute." Zhu Youxiao was made to laugh heartily by her actions, and took the initiative to lean his face over and let her touch it.

"Baozhu, you see that our daughter is so cute, and she knows how to say hello to me." Zhu Youxiao smiled at Zhang Yan, who was waiting next to him.

"That's Your Majesty's talent, and the daughter she gave birth to has been smart since she was a child." Zhang Yan saw that the emperor loved his daughter so much, her face was full of joy, and her heart was also full of joy.

In this palace, the most important thing is the emperor's favor, whether it is the queen, the concubine, or the princess or the prince, it is the same, which emperor likes, which status is high. Therefore, seeing that the emperor was so fond of teasing his daughter, how could Zhang Yan not be happy.

Just when Zhu Youxiao was enjoying the joy of his family, Liu Ruoyu suddenly came to report, "Your Majesty, most of the governors ask to see you." ”

"The Grand Duke?" Zhu Youxiao paused, and immediately said, "Pass him in." ”

Sun Chengzong asked to see him at this time, and something big must have happened. Sure enough, as soon as he came in, he handed over a military report and said, "Your Majesty, the war between the Jurchens and Transkhalkha has broken out. ”

"Great." Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed and immediately looked at the military newspaper carefully. The reason for the outbreak of the war is very simple, some people within the Jurchens are dissatisfied with Huang Taiji's rule, but Huang Taiji has a skill, these people have no chance to resist, but Zhang Shize, who has been waiting for an opportunity to provoke the conflict between the two tribes, detected this loophole, so he deliberately created an opportunity to use the caravan walking on the steppe to let these rebels get in touch with the tribes of Transkhalkha.

These rebels are not others, they are the Taijitou people of Horqin in the past, they have lost their subordinates, they have gone to their own wealth, and they have to follow Huang Taiji to trek through mountains and rivers and go to other places, how can they be willing.

Now, when I arrived in Mobei Mongolia, although this is not my hometown, it is not a problem to unite with each other to deal with Huang Taiji.

And how can the tribes that have lived on the grassland for generations have good people, they have long been dissatisfied with the fact that Huang Taiji's tribe came over and occupied a part of their grassland, but because they couldn't figure out the details of this migrating tribe for a while, they didn't do anything.

But now, the other party has taken the initiative to contact Neiying, and told the details of the inside and the truth one by one, and several Great Khans of Outer Khalkha, Chechen Khan, etc., were immediately overjoyed and ready to start after the New Year.

Of course, Huang Taiji is not a vegetarian, although he did not find out these secret deeds, but the internal control is still in place, and these people do not have any real power. Then, under Zhang Shize's deliberate leakage, he attacked in advance and directly launched a purge of these rebels.

Huang Taiji is very smart, this purge was chosen in winter, the grassland was snowy, outside the tent, the white death was raging, even if a few people escaped, they would be cleaned up by nature.

However, he thought well, but in the end, there were still a few people who successfully ran, and they ran with supplies, although these people had no rights, but they were not without clusters, with their years of deep accumulation, how could Huang Taiji be deprived of them all.

So a chase happened, but this time Huang Taiji was unfamiliar with the terrain, so he let these people Taiji run away and ran to the tribe of Chechen Khan.

So the war broke out, of course, due to the weather, the scale of the outbreak was not very large, but it was a battle of one or two thousand people, but from the species, Chechen Khan found the Jurchen Void and the Truth, there were 300,000 people, but there were no warriors to guard. Such a tribe is a huge piece of fat on the grassland.

However, due to the raging wind and snow, this doomed war was postponed, and Chechen Khan decided to wait until the beginning of spring to wage war.

This gave Huang Taiji time to ask for help, and the target of his help was naturally Zhang Shize, who was fighting in Hulunbuir. Although he guessed that Da Ming had played some bad role, he was unfamiliar with the place, even if he was poisoned wine, he could only drink it first to quench his thirst.

For such a major matter, Zhang Shize did not dare to make a decision on his own, so he immediately flew off and reported to the Beijing Division, hoping that the Dadu Governor's Mansion and the emperor could make a decision.

And it just so happened that this military report arrived at the General Staff of the Dadu Governor's Mansion today, and it happened to be seen by Sun Chengzong, who knew that the emperor was back today, and he didn't care about what His Majesty was doing at the moment, so he hurriedly ran over to report.

After a general understanding of the whole story, Zhu Youxiao closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and then immediately decided, "Let Zhang Shize support some supplies for them, including food, armor, weapons, etc., but not too much at a time, take your time, and the follow-up support will be controlled according to the opponent's record. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister will pass the resolution back to Zhang Shize." Sun Chengzong nodded, immediately left the palace, returned to the Wuying Palace, and then drafted the order, stamped the big seal, and ordered the herald to set off immediately and go to Hulunbuir.

About a week later, Zhang Shize, who was sitting on the prairie, received a letterhead military order from Jingshi, and after carefully checking the authenticity, he opened it and looked at it.

After reading it, he closed his eyes and pondered, carefully understanding the meaning inside. He knew about the entire Jurchen westward migration that was later known as the Great Wall Plan.

The emperor's meaning was to take the Jurchens as the vanguard, sweep through the grasslands, let them open the way, and the Ming army picked up the cheap behind. And if you want to achieve this, you must arm the Jurchens, so that they have relatively strong combat effectiveness, and can defeat the Mongol tribes, but you can't make them too strong, otherwise it will be difficult to control, and you can't let him execute according to Daming's ideas.

The degree of this is very important, and when Zhu Youxiao gave the order, he did not stipulate a specific number, and it was all up to Zhang Shize, who was on the front line, to grasp it himself, and the difficulty of it can be seen.

However, for such a task, Zhang Shize did not feel difficult, but after thinking about it for a while, he had an answer for a hundred years.

"Someone, call the Minister of Equipment." He shouted at the orderly. Soon, the chief of equipment of the cavalry army came.

Seeing that people were coming, Zhang Shize didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered, "Pick out 1,000 sets of old iron armor, 3,000 steel knives, and 10,000 loads of grain from the treasury and send them to Huang Taiji." ”

"Yes." The Minister of Equipment was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied that as a senior in the army, he also knew the task of the Xiao Cavalry.

Subsequently, Zhang Shize issued a series of orders, from now on, cancel the vacation, everyone entered the stage of combat readiness, and he contacted the local Dongchang Fanzi, asking them to actively cooperate and deliver any news on the Mobei grassland in real time.

The scouts of the cavalry themselves are also everywhere, scouting day and night, so they don't stop.

"It's up to you, I hope the fight is fierce enough, and my British dukedom will depend on you to get it back." Looking at the busy and nervous army on board, Zhang Shize muttered to himself.
