The guards who were responsible for guarding the seventy-six gates inside and outside Beijing heard that there were 5,000 taels of silver to take, so of course they would not hide and not come. When they arrived one after another, it was just the time for the opening of the camp.

Ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty had two meals a day, and the first meal was called Chaoshi, which was generally used up before the end of the day. The second meal is called the evening meal, and it is eaten at the unitary time, and the army is no exception.

However, Zhu Cihong's Kenan camp is now three meals a day, and as soon as the soldiers of the Kenan camp entered the camp this morning, it was immediately a breakfast of white flour steamed buns and meat, and Prince Zhu ate with everyone.

After breakfast, the soldiers entered the camp. The tents had already been set up by the Jing Army, and the military jackets and robes were all taken out of the net army treasury, so the entry into the camp and the distribution of military jackets and robes were quickly completed. Then Zhu Cihong visited the camp tents one by one, distributed silver rewards and canonization orders, and at the same time it was the lunch time of the soldiers, and it was a meal of white noodles and meat.

In the afternoon, a part of the troops of the Kenan battalion moved, Wu Sanfu led people to take over the defense of Chaoyangmen, and a team of people followed Zhu Cihong to Deshengmen for a walk. For most of the soldiers, Wu Xiang was responsible for distributing weapons and armor to them. They were all looted from the camp of the Pure Army, and everyone had weapons, most of them were spears, and the rest were swords, shields, and firearms.

Among them, there are only 300 firearms, all of which belong to the firecrackers who were transferred from the pure army to the Kenan battalion. They are formed units and do not require additional time to integrate. However, on the afternoon of the 16th, this group of fire eunuchs was also quite busy. Busy making fixed ammunition, that is, wrapping gunpowder and lead in stationery, rolling them into a long strip, and then packing them in a small cloth bag—these are all methods that Zhu Cihong gave them at breakfast. These 300 fire eunuchs are the strongest force in Zhu Cihong's hands! Without them, the camp would be a toothless tiger that can only scare people. Therefore, the tactics formulated by Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu father and son for the Victory Camp revolved around 300 fire gun eunuchs!

Their guns and gunpowder are all high-quality goods, and they are not much better than the equipment in the Guanning army. Eunuchs with guns can also be proficient in loading and shooting because of their long training time. But the problem is that these eunuchs have never been on the battlefield and lack courage, so it is inevitable that there will be indiscriminate shooting.

Wu Xiang's response was to form a special supervision bureau. It is composed of veterans who have been on the battlefield, and some of them have also been charged with fire guns, and can be used as a substitute for the eunuchs at any time. Their task was to supervise the Torch Eunuchs one-on-one to prevent them from shooting or escaping, and they were also tasked with protecting the Torch Soldiers.

In addition to these two bureaus, Wu Sanfu and Zu Dashou's second son, Zu Zepu, also successfully sorted out a cavalry bureau of about 300 people, which is now stationed in Wengcheng, Chaoyangmen, and is personally controlled by Wu Sanfu - this cavalry is the guarantee of fleeing as a last resort!

A fire bureau, a superintendent bureau, a cavalry bureau, plus some officers of the division and bureau flag team that control the troops, and Zhu Cihong's personal guards, a total of only more than 1,000 people, is the main combat strength of Zhu Cihong's battalion. There are also 2,000 people, but they are just strong beings.

And at night on the 16th, whether it was the elite soldiers of the three bureaus who acted as the main combat force, or the remaining soy sauce soldiers, they were all eating and drinking happily around a pot of steamed buns, big fat meat and wine jars.

These foods and drinks were not prepared by the eunuchs in the palace, but Zhu Cihong asked Huang Dabao to go to the fried beans alley outside the palace walls to buy them. There is a Cantonese-owned sauce garden in Fried Beans Hutong, which not only sells a variety of sauces, but also sells steamed buns, braised pork and rice wine. Because the shop is very close to Bei'anmen, the eunuchs and maids in the palace are frequent customers there, and the supply is very large. The owner of the sauce garden is also surnamed Huang, and no one knows his name, so everyone calls him Soy Sauce Huang. Because he has the same surname as Huang Dabao, the two are quite familiar with each other, and they also recognize their godson. Therefore, the food of the Kenan camp was contracted by Huang Dabao to soy sauce yellow.

And the reason why Zhu Cihong handed over such an important matter as the army food to Huang Dabao was not because he trusted Eunuch Dabao much, but because he had made it clear to Eunuch Dabao before that he himself would eat with the brothers in the Kenan Camp from today on.

Whatever the soldiers of the Kenan Battalion eat, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will eat! There was no need to prepare it alone, and the prince would immediately eat with the soldiers of the various bureaus in order to connect with each other.

Huang Dabao wants to eat kickbacks, although he goes to eat, but Zhu Cihong doesn't have to ask Shang Fang for his head.

When the gatekeepers of the 16th Gate of Beijing City arrived one after another, Zhu Cihong was eating white-flour steamed buns with fat meat with the eunuchs of the Fire Gun Bureau.

And he sat on the ground in the open air, eating and talking about life and ideals with a group of eunuchs.

Eunuchs also have a life and ideals!

In the same way, there are human rights!

Zhu Cihong's body can contain a soul from the 21st century, so he does not discriminate against the "third gender".

Therefore, the eunuchs of the Fire Gun Bureau are the same as the soldiers of other bureaus, everyone is a "hero of overcoming difficulties", they also get the same military salary, eat the same food, and also get the "option" of Jiangnan land.

In addition to this, the fire gun eunuchs had other benefits, as they were all eunuchs who had fought with Zhu Cihong.

"You and the palace together to escort Nan Xing, not only my Ming heroes, but also the palace comrades, to Nanjing, the palace does not believe who else can you believe? So you are now a pure army, and when you arrive in Jiangnan, the twelve eunuchs, the fourth division, and the eighth bureau will all be selected from you and other meritorious eunuchs of the difficult battalion. You are now a pure army, and you will be the eunuchs of the palm seal, the eunuch of the pen, the eunuch of the admiral, and the eunuch of the chief in charge in the future......"

Listening to Zhu Cihong's promise, the eunuchs of the fire gun were so happy, everyone had a feeling that the dick was about to counterattack.

In the court system of the Ming Dynasty, the pure army has always been the lowest level of existence. Generally, eunuchs who do bad things, as long as they don't die, the heaviest punishment is to purify the army. Although the Nanhaizi Pure Army is more advanced than this kind of "Pure Army", it is not their turn to do it to the Da Jue of the Twenty-four Yamen.

This time, the prince can speak, so he believes them as fire eunuchs!

When you arrive in Jiangnan, you will be developed!

"Thank you, Master!"

"The little one is willing to die for the Chitose Lord!"

"The little one swears to follow ......"

I don't know who took the lead, but anyway, the cheers suddenly got up. Not only were the eunuchs cheering, but the soldiers of the Victory Battalion who were in good health around them were also shouting together.

The sixteen guards who had just arrived happened to encounter this scene, and they were all dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Li Zicheng is coming, why are these rabbles so happy? What benefits did the prince promise them?

But the Ming Dynasty is over, what benefits can be promised?

Zhu Cihong also got a report from the guards and knew that the guards of the Sixteen Gates were coming. He did not see them alone, but had them taken to the circle of people who had been surrounded by the eunuchs of the firearms.

"The last general will wait to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The gatekeepers all saluted Zhu Cihong.

"Sit, sit, haven't eaten, have you? Eat a bite to eat...... Steamed buns and braised pork with soy sauce are full. ”

What the? Just eat here? Sitting on the ground? With a bunch of stinking pure troops?

The generals guarding the gate are either Beijing camp officers or Jinyi Guard's officials, all of whom have status, and many of them are from noble families, when will they eat and drink with a group of soldiers? Not to mention being with the Pure Army.

But the prince's decree cannot be disobeyed! The chamberlains who came to give the order just now all said that the prince is now out of the palace to raise the army, the governor is directly subordinate to the military, the commander is the nine gates, and there is a murderous Shang Fang sword!

Who wants to try the Shang Fang Sword?

I didn't want to be beheaded by Shang Fang's sword, so I could only sit with my nose pinched, but I couldn't get too close to the Jingjun, and they all crowded to Zhu Cihong's side.

Zhu Cihong didn't pick up anyone, but just announced with a smile: "Everyone, there is good news!" ”

Good news?

The imperial tombs of Changping have been burned, can there be good news?

"This palace is going to take a concubine!" Zhu Cihong said, "The female family is the younger sister of Pingxibo Wu Sangui. ”

What the? The big guys were all shocked, how did they marry Wu Sangui's sister? This is not in line with the ancestral system!

Zhu Cihong glanced at a group of gatekeepers around him, raised his voice and said: "Wu Sangui has led an army of 40,000 people in Guanning, and he has come day and night!" ”
