At the end of the Jiashen year, Mu Hu, the servant of Gao Mengji, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, traveled south from the north, and met a young man on the way and traveled together. When he went to bed at night, he found that the young man's underwear was woven with dragon patterns, and he was shocked to ask about his identity, and the young man claimed to be the crown prince Zhu Cihong.

After arriving in Nanjing, his people swaggered in public, revealing the appearance of nobles, attracting people's attention and whispering behind their backs.

Someone with a heart arrived in Beijing as the crown prince to succeed to the throne and mobilize public opinion in society.

However, no one in the officialdom responded publicly.

Yan Dashao's cancellation of the right of the official to "hear about the matter" is very timely!

Officials must be held accountable.

Yan Changwu learned about it, and took the juvenile into custody, so that Hou, Bo, Jiuqing, Hanlin, Ke, Dao and other officials went to examine it together. Wang Duo, a university scholar, had served as an instructor in the East Palace for three years, so he was naturally familiar with the appearance of the prince, and he could see at a glance that it was a fake of the traitor Wang Zhiming.

The rest of the officials who have seen the prince also said that they are fake, Liu Zhengzong and Li Jinglian, who once served as lecturers in the East Palace, "all said that the prince's eyebrows are longer than his eyes", and they didn't know each other after seeing the pseudo-prince; Yan Changwu also ordered the old East Palace to accompany the eunuch Qiu Zhizhong to confess, and deliberately mixed in a group of people, but the result was that he saw Zhizhong and did not know it.

The accompanying eunuch is a person who is very close to the prince, and that Wang Zhiming can't recognize it, so it must be fake.

Yan Changwu cut through the chaos with a quick knife, and quickly beheaded the pseudo-prince for the crime of "impersonating the imperial family".

Whether it's true or not, all have to die, politics is what it's all about.

This matter directly involves the legitimacy of the Yongming Emperor's throne, and those who are dissatisfied with Zhu You's succession take the opportunity to stir up trouble and spread rumors.

Fortunately, Yan Changwu was crooked, and the emperor's relatives, nobles, civil officials, soldiers, merchants, landlords, etc. were all rectified by him, and the matter was forcefully suppressed by him, and everyone whispered behind their backs at most, not daring to openly oppose Yan Changwu's disposal, and did not cause a political turmoil.

……

On the south gate of Xuzhou City on the north bank of the Huai River, Gao Jie silently watched a long line of coal trucks on the avenue to the city gate!

The old ox panted and dragged the heavy coal cart, while the donkey and mule foamed at the mouth, pulling the smaller coal cart into the city of Xuzhou.

"Report!" The voice alarmed Gao Jie, it was the general Cheng Qizhuang, and he reported happily: "Report to the chief officer, all the 150,000 catties of coal have arrived!" ”

"Good!" Gao Jie was slightly happy.

Since the restructuring of the Ming Army, many changes have taken place, and the materials given to the troops have not been delayed, not discounted, and there is no need to open up the joints.

Before the Ming Dynasty was an official, even if it was a general in commanding the army, when supplying, it was often handled by the officials and officials of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and you went to dredge it, and the silver was in place, and it still delayed your date and deducted your materials, so that you know who the uncle is!

After Yan Changwu came, the atmosphere of the Ming army was very different, even with the military department and the household department, the newly established General Staff Department was responsible for military orders, the General Logistics Department was responsible for logistics supply, and the General Political Department was responsible for supervising the army.

The military orders issued are the responsibility of the General Staff Department, and the commanders inside are all soldiers who have fought and fought old wars, have rich experience, and are no longer commanded by civilian officials, which is a huge leap!

In the past, the imperial court liked to lead the army with civilian officials, and its beautiful name was "Wenchen Doing Military Affairs", in fact, it was a dog P, and the Wenchen who did a good job in governing the army was just a few people such as Wang Yangming and Sun Chengzong.

The level of those civilian officials is not good, the key is that they feel good about themselves, so that the generals are under their command, which is really laughable.

The General Staff Department is different, with orders in place, and they do not overstep their responsibilities, but give full play to the initiative of the commanders of the troops, and let them make combat arrangements according to the combat arrangements.

After the general rear, the transportation of materials was by no means ambiguous, vigorous and resolute, and the military order said that the number of shipments was as much, and the transportation was sufficient.

The style of the logistics officers was very good, they did not dare to blackmail the troops, and the commanders of the troops were very comfortable.

There are also political officials sent by the General Political Department, and the collar on their military uniforms has a red set of gold edges, indicating that they play the role of supervising the imperial army, but they are also soldiers, comrades, and they can also lead the charge and go into battle as well!

This is one of the four irons in life, and the friendship that has passed through the gun and passed the life is by no means comparable to those civil officials who talk and only talk about cannons and TJ who have no eggs!

Relatively speaking, the monitoring of the army by political officials is far stronger than that of the previous civilian officials and TJ, Gao Jie was a little unaccustomed to it at first, but soon figured it out, he didn't want to rebel and secession, just concentrate on fighting.

Compared with the former Ming army, the current army has a strict professional division of labor, and in addition to combat personnel, there are also staff officers, engineers, medical personnel, propaganda teams, and so on.

The coal transported is for the army to roast the fire, the use of processing food, which was unimaginable in the past, the Ming army said that the ugly point is the beggar soldiers, the military salary is in arrears, there is no food useless, and even in a state of hunger and cold, now the Ming soldiers are paid enough, and the supply of materials is sufficient.

When the reorganization south of the Yangtze River, Gao Jie's troops carried out strict training, and at the same time, Yan Changwu brought the glorious tradition of the Southeast Army to the Xinming Army ----- food!

If you want to capture the hearts of the military, you have to grab their stomachs!

Even if he supplied the Xinming Army according to half of the standard of the food of the army in the Southeast Prefecture, Yan Changwu received the loyalty of most of the officers and soldiers at once!

In the past, the officers and men said that what they ate was "bitterness," and the quality of the rice and noodles they ate was very bad, and there were sand, gravel, insects, moldy rice, coarse chaff, weeds, and rat feces. There is very little oil and water, the non-staple food is often zero, it is good to have melons and vegetables to eat, sometimes simply eat wild vegetables, there is really nothing, I have to use pickles to boil a pot of soup, everyone makes do with a spoonful to eat, this is still good, in most cases there are no pickles, it is salted rice.

Now at least half of it is sifted refined rice and flour free of impurities, and as long as they can get it, they buy meat to eat---- and the army has money for meat, and there is a lot of money.

The new Ming army came into contact with toffee, salted fish, and salted meat, which would not have been imagined before!

According to the fellow Southeast Army, the treatment on the warship is the best, and the salted fish and salted meat are eaten until the brothers in the navy want to vomit!

"The navy on the ship was idle, and even carved hard salted meat to make a ship model." A Southeastern Army said that he had brothers to do a good job in the navy.

"Isn't that a waste?" A Ming soldier asked stupidly.

"You stupid, the navy has too much salted meat to eat!" The Southeastern Army said with a smile.

"Scared!"

Let the Xinming army yearn for it, some people have a calculation, they can't be a navy, but they can also let their brothers try their best to join the navy and apply for the enrollment of the naval academy in Daming---- now the two sides of the strait are one, and the Southeast Naval Academy has started more enrollment in various places.

Even if you can't be a navy, it's not bad to become an army, and the way out is much brighter than the previous Ming army.

It is of great significance to give good food, which represents a kind of respect, the health of the soldiers is taken to your heart, and you try to make the soldiers eat well, and the army is full, and the military heart will naturally belong to you, which is stronger than shouting any slogan!

After all, it is a very simple life principle to be a soldier and eat food, and to work for you with your salary.

……

Guarding the river must defend Huai, Gao Jie asked Ying, and led his 30,000 people with high morale to go out of Xuzhou together with 3,000 southeast troops.

Xuzhou was originally guarded by the Ming army, the Dashun army came, the Ming army surrendered, fled and fled, after the Spring Festival of the first year of Yongming, Gao Jiebing went to Xuzhou, the Dashun army fled without a fight, Gao Jiebing did not cut blood, and entered Xuzhou.

Preparations for war were immediately launched, the walls were cleared, the population of neighboring prefectures and counties was transferred, the city fortifications were repaired, materials were stored, drinking water was ensured, and various departments were divided into defense areas.

The Qing army that drew Li Zicheng from Xi'an and ran into Xuzhou headlong!
