Chapter 68 Small Station Training

"Who is this Liang Zheng?"

After going to the imperial case in the study, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but raise his head and ask with the report on the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in Yongning forwarded by the Ministry of War.

He is now being overwhelmed by the war in Shaanxi, Li Zicheng is very cunning, out of the Qinling Mountains, he got rid of Hong Chengchou's officers and soldiers in one fell swoop, and the urgent reports from all over the country pressed on his case like snowflakes.

It also weighed on his heart......

The emperor, who was in his twenties, had gray hair on his sideburns......

Suppressing bandits and bandits, since they ascended the throne, have been suppressing, in order to ensure the army on the front line, the household salary is like wading through the sea. But the more it is suppressed, the more prosperous it becomes, and it can't be finished, and the Henan disaster relief is carried out, and the court can't get any money.

So what he was most worried about was that the famine in Henan would lead to a civil uprising, and when he saw the rebellion of the Yongning White Lotus Sect written in front of the song, he couldn't help but feel a burst of shock:

Rebellion again! Henan is also reversed...... This, where did the money come from to transfer the army??

But on second look, the rebellion had subsided......

This time, I was relieved, and I couldn't help but notice the name mentioned in the recital-Liang Zheng.

"Back to Your Majesty, this person is a student of Henan." Yang Sichang said, "I have suppressed the bandits in Jigong Mountain before, and the military department has issued an order to commend him and entrusted him with an errand for regimental training. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Youzhen's eyes jumped, "You tell me in detail." ”

So, in the next few minutes, he heard a legendary story about the Qingshi Col Force Xiangma, the Jigong Mountain Wisdom Capture Reverse Canal, and the Yongning County Suppression Lesson Plan, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

This, this is really a Confucian general who is both civil and military!

I can't imagine that in Henan, there are such pillars of the country buried in the people!

For example, if there are bandits everywhere today, and Huang Taiji commits crimes every year, he needs such a general too much, but who are the people around him?

It's all a group of ministers who can only brag, today this one says "five years of Pingliao", tomorrow the other says "three years of......

Take Yuan Chonghuan at the beginning, for example, he kept saying that he would promise himself "five years of peace", but what was the result? The Qing soldiers have all hit the city of Beijing!

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were busy attacking this and that all day long, that is, impeaching this, and really asked them to get some ideas, either without a voice, or patting their chests to ensure how "a few years" would be.

So......

"With such a talent, how can you only give a nominal regimental training commander!" Without waiting for Yang Sichang to finish speaking, Zhu Youzhen involuntarily took the case, "What are you doing in the military department, isn't this a pearl covered with dust?" Immediately transfer him to Beijing. ”

"But Your Majesty ......," Yang Sichang said, "he's just a showman......

"What's wrong with Xiucai?" Zhu Youzhen disagreed, "Don't you understand the truth of reducing talents without sticking to one pattern?" Scholar...... Xiucai gave him a Jinshi background, isn't it over. ”

"Your Majesty......"

"Hurry up and transfer people to the military department, I think...... Well, let's put it under your command first, let him be in the middle of the military department, and then I will appoint him to a Hanlin attendant, so ......"

"Your Majesty......" Yang Sichang had to raise his voice slightly, interrupting Zhu Youzhen's self-talk, "This is a step to the sky, the ministers are only afraid of ......"

He didn't say anything more.

Zhu Youzhen didn't need him to say any more, he already understood.

The ministers will not agree to such a one-step promotion......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh......

Although he is the emperor, he can't actually go out of the court, he can't order the place, and he has to be tied up to do something......

"Has Your Majesty forgotten the matter of discussing peace with the Manchus a few days ago?" Yang Sichang also couldn't help but sigh heavily.

On the same day, he was inspired by the letter from the student Wu Dalie, and entered the palace that night to the Son of Heaven to present the national policy of "the outside must first be at ease", the emperor agreed, and he also instructed the governor of Liaodong Fang Yizao to send the blind Zhou Yuanzhong to Shenyang to test the tone, and the attitude of the emperor Taiji was also very positive, and he said on the spot: "If there is a definite discussion, then withdraw the troops and return to the east." ”

After receiving Fang Yizao's report, he immediately suggested that Fang Yizao and the chief eunuch Gao Qiqian should be engaged in it cheaply, and make peace. Unexpectedly, this matter soon spread to the court, causing an uproar. Driven by Shao Zhan Shi Huang Daozhou, the impeachment of himself overnight pressed on the emperor's desk like a mountain.

"Alas......" Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Yang Aiqing, is this weird?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Yang Sichang hurriedly knelt down and said, "How dare the ministers be resentful when they receive the grace of His Majesty's knowledge?" The ministers also know His Majesty's difficulties, and now there is a miasma in the court, officials are corrupt, and the party is constantly fighting, and they all regard themselves as direct ministers and loyal ministers, and they don't know how to work around at all. ”

Zhu Youzhen was also silent for a while after listening.

Yang Sichang is a person who was single-handedly raised, and he is also one of the few people in the court today who is unbiased and non-party, and really wants to do practical things.

But because he is impartial and non-party, he is a lonely minister, so his political views are hardly supported by any minister, although he is the emperor, but he does not dare to risk the world's great inaction, rashly use a student to participate in national affairs.

"These yellow-mouthed children are really damned!" He couldn't help but curse in his heart.

But what else can be done besides a few words of slander?

"Then in Qing's opinion, what should this Liang Zheng do?" He asked.

"In the opinion of the minister." Yang Sichang groaned, "It's better to build a guard for him alone." ”

"Alone in the guard?"

"Yes, Jianwei, entrust him with a command position, but only three products, the Qing army attacked Datong a few days ago, Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong and other areas of the rout of the army gathered, let him supervise military affairs, if there is a achievement, and then promote, so that not only block the mouth of the Manchu Dynasty ministers, but also can train a new army of iron cavalry, in the future Your Majesty will command this army to level the thieves, and reject the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the world can be determined in the near future."

"Supervising the new army?"

"Not bad. According to the report from Yongning Zhixian County, Liang Zheng supervised the regimental training in Yongning, which was unheard of, but he was able to achieve an elite division with one hundred, which shows the benefits of the regimental training he organized. ”

"But where does the money come from?" Zhu Youzhen frowned, "Now that the treasury has no silver, is it for the sake of the new army, will it be levied again?" I'm afraid that if this is the case, the courtiers will be in trouble again. ”

"Your Majesty may confer on him the formation, number, and rank of the First Army. In the case of power, it is necessary to be responsible. Yang Sichang pinched it and said, "Let him raise his own food and salary, make his own weapons, and when he can become an army, he will be included in the regular military system of the imperial court, so that everyone will have nothing to say." ”

“………… That's fine. Zhu Youzhen pondered for a long time, and finally sighed, "Just do what you want, and grant him the new agricultural camp 70 miles southeast of Tianjin to drill the new army, as for the number...... It's good to be loyal to the military guard. ”

"Yes. Obey the order. ”
