Looking at the two of them with satisfaction, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were full of smiles.

Yang Sichang alone can't provoke the entire military department, but with Chen Qiyu and Li Banghua, there will be no problem.

Chen Qiyu is good at planning and co-ordination, which can not only dispatch military personnel to be responsible for logistics support, but also act as a staff officer at his side.

In addition, his people have commanded troops and fought battles, and they can also be used as a coach at critical moments, which can be described as multi-purpose.

Li Banghua is good at military affairs and internal affairs, and he has experience in rectifying the Beijing camp, so he can just enter the Beijing camp.

Of course, it is too late to rectify the Beijing camp now, but it is still very necessary to control the Beijing camp in our hands.

In view of the specialties of the two, Emperor Chongzhen quickly helped them with a specific division of labor.

Chen Qiyu and Li Banghua naturally had no opinions, and happily accepted the task assigned by Emperor Chongzhen.

It's just that when they heard that Emperor Chongzhen planned to drive the expedition in person, the two were shocked, and knelt down and begged bitterly, saying that they were willing to go on the expedition on behalf of the king.

However, Emperor Chongzhen was unmoved, and analyzed the current situation and various ills of the imperial court, which could not be solved without the imperial conquest.

After listening, the two pondered silently, deduced carefully, and finally had to admit that His Majesty's military was dangerous, and it was really the best plan for Daming to get out of the quagmire and regain his prosperity.

There is no substitute for any general in the Ming Dynasty.

The only thing to worry about is that there is a certain amount of risk on the king.

However, how can things in the world be perfect?

At the same time, they were also greatly moved, Your Majesty is so trusted, only the king's grace is like the sea, and the courtiers are like a mountain to reciprocate.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggests that it is imperative to reduce the unnecessary generals in the Beijing battalion, merge and divide the ranks in other places, and count how many available troops there are in the Beijing battalion?

Then build the enemy platform, set up garrison soldiers in Changping, and build a city wall to ensure that the situation of the capital is foolproof. ”

Now that His Majesty has made a decision, Li Banghua didn't talk nonsense, and turned to planning with all his might.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, this is the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country.

For a long time, how many people and horses there are in Beijing will always be a mystery?

Emperor Chongzhen vaguely remembered that Chongzhen paid salaries for the Beijing camp in the ninth year, and the military department had checked the number of soldiers in Beijing once, which was the responsibility of the governor of the Beijing camp, Gongshun Hou Wu Weiying and Wang Chengen.

After the counting, it was found that the officers and men of the three major battalions of the Beijing battalion were about 130,000 men of the Jiannai Zhiban Army, 12,400 men of the Yongwei Battalion, and about 18,000 men of the 16 Men Battalion.

Excluding the Yongwei battalion managed by the inner court, it does not count, which means that the Beijing camp still has nearly 150,000 troops.

It's just that Emperor Chongzhen knows that if he believes this number, he probably doesn't even know how he died.

Numbers on paper, not real combat effectiveness.

Back in the day of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, there were 48 guards in the Beijing camp, each with 5,600 guards, and a total strength of 270,000 troops.

Later, after Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, due to the proximity of the Beijing division to the front line, the Beijing battalion army was expanded to 72 guards, with a total strength of 500,000 people.

Moreover, it is really an elite unit that can be pulled out and fought.

How magnificent!

Alas, think too much.

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head, put aside this unrealistic fantasy, turned his head to Li Banghua and said, "Li Aiqing is fully responsible for this matter, with the assistance of Liu Wenbing, Marquis of Xinle. ”

"Obey! I will live up to His Majesty's trust. ”

At the critical moment, Li Banghua took on this thorny task and did not make any requests.

The famous hall of Jingying, Li Banghua is naturally no stranger.

Among them, the cows, ghosts, gods and snakes, none of them are easy to deal with.

However, for the sake of His Majesty, what is he afraid of Li Banghua?

"Your Majesty, please order the Governor to guard the direct army, follow Your Majesty in person, and protect Your Majesty!"

Here, Chen Qiyu also automatically asked for help.

In addition to the troops of the capital camp, as the emperor, there is also a pro-army under the direct command of the emperor, that is, the guard Shangzhi army.

At the beginning, there were a total of 12 guards in the Shangzhi Army, so it was also called "Shangshan 12 Guards".

They are: Jinyi Guard, Banner Guard, Jinwu Guard, Jinwu Guard, Yulin Left Guard, Yulin Right Guard, Government Army Guard, Government Army Left Guard, Government Army Right Guard, Government Army Guard, Government Army Guard, Government Army Guard, Tiger Benwei.

Later, after several expansions, the guards were expanded from 12 to 26.

Compared with the Beijing camp, the soldiers in the guards are the elite of the elite.

Their duties included keeping the Emperor safe, carrying out secret missions, patrolling and guarding the Imperial City, and ensuring that nothing was lost.

Historically, in the Songjin Battle of Chongzhen's 14th year, the 130,000 Ming soldiers led by Hong Chengchou were composed of a large number of guards.

This is also why, later Li Zicheng's troops besieged the capital, and the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was so scummy.

The elite have been exhausted with refueling tactics, and their morale has also been lost, how can they still have combat effectiveness?

"Quasi-play! Everything is up to Chen Aiqing. ”

Regarding Chen Qiyu's request, Emperor Chongzhen agreed.

These specific affairs, as an emperor, how can Emperor Chongzhen have the time and energy to take care of them?

For a while, with the arrival of Chen Qiyu and Li Banghua, the matter of the royal driving expedition had already begun, and the three of them continued to discuss some of the details.

At the same time, the royal relatives and nobles in the capital were also discussing how to deal with Emperor Chongzhen's anger.

Shiwangfu Street, the most popular in recent times is undoubtedly the Chengguo Mansion, as evidenced by the tall plaque and the busy traffic in front of the door.

In the lobby of the Guogong Mansion, the Duke and Earl are all together, crowded with people, and it seems to be very lively.

It's just that the atmosphere in the lobby is a little depressed, and everyone's faces are not very good-looking.

Are you deceiving?

His Majesty's angry rebuke of the emperor's nobles rang in everyone's ears.

Among them, everyone has different moods and ideas.

Some people don't understand, if His Majesty rejects the royal relatives and noble families, how can he sit on the throne?

Could it be that those Wenchen who only know how to play tricks can be trusted, Your Majesty is really confused!

To put it mildly, Your Majesty is destroying the Great Wall!

However, some people are asking themselves, how can they act like this?

Of course, there are still some people who are staring at the three dukes of the capital and Zhou Kui in the hall, waiting for their decision, just follow the trend.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any suggestions?"

After a moment of silence, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, who was the master, slowly opened his mouth and asked everyone.
