"Chitose Lord, this is a piece sent by Shi Kefa and Gao Jie......"

Zhu Cihong returned to the Generalissimo Mansion of the Fu Army, which he had set up in Dengzhou Shuicheng, and his Marshal Mansion Shi Bijiucheng and his military advisor Li Yan came out to see him.

Bi Jiucheng held the two copies of the recital he had just received, and his brows were furrowed.

Now the wandering court is not very formal, there is no general political envoy department, and the uploading and distribution of reports, texts and wills are all carried out by the military department of the generalissimo's office.

And the Hanlin Academy, which was responsible for the drafting of the edict, was gone, and was replaced by the Chief History Division of the Generalissimo's Office. At the same time, the Department of the Chief History also concurrently has part of the responsibilities of the Chief Celebrant and is actually the "Secretariat" of the Generalissimo's Office.

The concerts presented by the six departments, Zhuwei, and various localities will be summarized to the Changshi Division of the Generalissimo's Mansion, first by Bi Jiucheng and Li Yan, and then given to Zhu Cihong.

However, under normal circumstances, Zhu Cihong reads the newspaper early in the morning every day. After reading the report, he went to the "noon court" or "afternoon court", discussed politics with the chief officials of the Yamen such as the commander's mansion, the six ministries, and the procuratorate, and issued instructions - his instructions were generally drafted by the Changshi Division, and then divided into two categories, one was drafted by the cabinet, Zhu Cihong approved the red, and then let the military department convey it.

There is also a kind of will to the guards of the Generalissimo's Mansion, which does not need a decree, and can be approved by Zhu Cihong.

And today's situation is a bit special, it's afternoon, if it is not an urgent military situation, the general recital should be given to Zhu Cihong tomorrow morning.

"How?" Zhu Cihong was a little strange, "Is it an emergency military situation?" ”

Bi Jiucheng shook his head and said, "Chitose Lord, this is Shi Kefa and Gao Jie's recital to the saint!" ”

"To the Holy One?" Zhu Cihong hesitated, "What did you say?" ”

Li Yan said with a smile: "Shi Kefa and Gao Jie reported that they have gathered 100,000 Qinwang troops and will soon go north to meet them. ”

"One hundred thousand?" Zhu Cihong snorted, "Why did you go earlier?" ”

"Master Chitose," Li Yan said, "I don't know who this Shi Kefa wants to be the king of Qin?" ”

"It should be my father, right?" Zhu Cihong smiled, "This is a good thing...... Shi Kefa is really a loyal minister, a rare loyal minister! ”

"A good thing? Chitose, are you serious? Bi Jiucheng was stunned and stunned.

Li Yan said: "Of course it's a good thing...... He made such a fuss, how many of those noble generals in Nanjing who have been in Nanjing for more than 200 years can get rid of it? ”

"Chitose Lord," Bi Jiucheng whispered, "The southeast can't be messed up!" ”

Zhu Cihong smiled, "It's not messy, a bunch of useless guys!" Wine City, go and gather the afternoon pilgrimage...... Call Su Guansheng, Wu Sanfu, and Zhu Chunchen as well, and the palace wants to listen to the opinions of the big guys. ”

"Commandment."

......

The lobby of the Generalissimo's Palace.

The elder and Shangshu of the wandering imperial court, the guard marshal of the guards of the Marshal's Mansion, Li Banghua of the procuratorate, Li Yan, the military advisor, Su Guansheng, the governor of Denglai, and Zhu Chunchen, who had just been appointed by Zhu Cihong as the commander of the capital of Bei, and Wu Sanfu, the commander of the new army, all gathered together and began to deliberate.

"What a Gao Jie, he actually dares to go against Chitose Ye! Before he came to the aid of the general army, he escaped from the battle and ran thousands of miles...... This sin has not yet been investigated! Chitose Lord, you give orders to your ministers! The minister led the troops to pacify him! ”

It was Uncle Wu Sanfu who shouted and shouted to kill!

He's awesome now...... The new army under his command had killed 3,000 real Tartars!

Gao Jie's strength is a fart! Can it be compared to 3000 tartars? Isn't it just a casual fight?

And it is now the end of May of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and the new army has trained soldiers in Dengzhou for more than 20 days, and has also replenished the soldiers, and its strength has reached a higher level.

At the time of Dagukou, the total strength of the new army had exceeded 20,000 people. Later, Li Yan and the Red Lady pulled over 3,000, Su Guansheng recruited another 3,000 in Dengzhou, and Zhu Cihong pulled 2,000 people from the accompanying nobles, ministers, officials, and righteous people.

Now the total strength of the new army has reached nearly 28,500 people!

These 28,500 men were organized into four divisions, each with more than 7,000 men in each division—including four 1,600-strong concords and a 600-strong direct team. In addition, there are hundreds of people directly under the Generalissimo's Office and the Command Department of the New Army.

While the number of people has increased, the level of equipment has also been improved to a certain extent. The number of guns equipped by the new army has now reached nearly 2,600 (Shen Tingyang bought some more bird guns and sent them to Dengzhou), including turtledove-foot guns and bird guns, all of which are equipped with spears.

The 2,600 muskets were distributed to eight battalions, two battalions each of the three divisions on the left and right, of which two battalions belonging to the middle division of the new army and two infantry battalions not equipped with guns formed an infantry battalion, all of which were stationed on Haisha Island.

However, here in Dengzhou, more than 26,000 new troops, including 6 battalions of firecrackers, 3,000 iron cavalry and 4 Hongyi cannons, are still strong enough! Gao Jie's 30,000 book soldiers can't eat and walk around!

Wu Xiang shook his head and interrupted his son: "There is not only one Gao Jie, but also Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, and Liu Zeqing...... They'll probably join in, too! ”

Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, and Liu Zeqing have not expressed their position now, but their position can be imagined - they will definitely make trouble!

Because it doesn't hurt them to make trouble...... The sky is falling and Shi Kefa is holding it up! And they can still sell Shi Kefa to make a profit, why not?

Zhu Cihong looked at the military advisor Li Yan: "Military advisor, what do you think?" ”

"They're not going to come to Dengzhou." Li Yan said, "It's here...... It's hard to talk about the conditions! I just don't know Shi Kefa now......"

"Shi Kefa is not worried," Hou Sui said with a smile, "He is a Xiucai rebellion, and he will not succeed in three years!" However, Ma Shiying, Lu Zhenfei, and Qian Qianyi need to pay attention. ”

"Qian Qianyi?" Zhu Cihong smiled, isn't the water too cold? Shandong side...... The water is cold!

Hou Sui said: "This person is not enough...... More than defeat! ”

"Whose business is it that you lose?"

Hou Sui smiled: "Of course it's Shi Kefa's business!" He paused, "Besides, Qian Qianyi has a disciple who needs to be pulled to our side!" ”

"Disciple? Who? ”

"Zheng Sen!" Hou Sui said, "He is the eldest son of Zheng Zhilong, the chief military officer of Fujian!" ”

Ah, Zheng Chenggong...... The son of the richest man in the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Cihong nodded, "This palace knows what to do." ”

Li Yan said with a smile: "Master Chitose, it's not enough to just plot...... Now it's time to get big! Aren't they just relying on the large number of people? It's been almost a month since we arrived in Dengzhou, and it's time to recruit soldiers from Denglai Qiwei! ”

Zhu Cihong set his sights on Su Guansheng and Zhu Chunchen.

In the past 20 days, Su Guansheng and Zhu Chunchen have been so busy that they are about to fly!

The two of them are "running at the grassroots level", and Su Guansheng has traveled all over the eleven counties in three states in more than 20 days! And Zhu Chunchen ran to Denglai Qiwei to convey the order of exemption. Both of them have improved a lot in their equestrian running.

And they didn't go out alone, they all took troops with them. At present, the three prefectures, seven guards and eleven counties of Denglai Second Prefecture have stationed new troops in Kenan, and the number is not large, and there are more than 80 people in only one banner.

Although the number of people is small, it is enough to deter the small night!

"Chitose Lord, the acropolis of the seven guards has been mastered!" Zhu Chunchen said, "As long as the ministers and the British Duke, Xiangcheng Bo, Dingguo Gong, Wuding Marquis, Taining Marquis, and Zhenyuan Marquis each lead a banner and a dozen people to join the army, and go to recruit troops with silver, there will be 30,000 people within 20 days!" ”

"One person will give 10 taels of settling-in allowance, and then give each guard 10 taels of reward!" Zhu Cihong said, "Be sure to bring all the strong people among the seven guards to the palace to Dengzhou City!" ”

This time, 600,000 taels of silver were thrown out! With 600,000 taels of silver, he bought 30,000 strong men and Denglai Qiwei, this transaction is really good!

He paused, "Are there enough weapons?" ”

"There is definitely no armor," Wu Xiang said, "the number of swords, shields, bows and arrows is also insufficient, but the spear should be able to match." ”

Li Yan smiled: "Just get enough people...... Weapons have their own history and law to equip us. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded, "That's right...... But when we go to war, we'd better not meet Shi Kefa's real soldiers. ”

"What Chitose said is extremely good!" Li Yan said, "We just need to make a big fuss and scare the four towns first, and then it will be easy to win over...... Among the four towns, as long as one town is wooed, Shi Kefa can only plead guilty to the Chitose Lord! ”

This is the benefit of having money and descendants! If the soldiers of the four towns want to move him, they will have to think carefully about the consequences...... Unless the four towns and Scofa are united, they have little chance of winning.

But how could these four towns and Shi Kefa have the same heart?
