Chapter 87: Patience in the Battlefield

"Hong'er, I saw it. This is what Guang Shiheng calls a loyal minister. Before Li Zicheng besieged Beijing, I summoned the world's soldiers and horses, but no one responded. Li Banghua and other ministers persuaded me to move the capital to Nanjing, and at this time, Heng advised me that the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and the king died in Sheji, and advised me not to be the first king to flee in the Ming Dynasty. I couldn't move south, Li Banghua and others persuaded me to let the prince go to Nanjing, if I have an accident, you can also rule Nanjing, but this light Shiheng said that he would like to tell the story of Lingwu for Tang Suzong. I have no soldiers, no food, no money, and there is only one way to die in the capital, what do you say Heng'an's heart is in this light? Fortunately, I woke up in time, made dangerous moves, and broke into the thief camp alone to analyze the pros and cons, so as to protect the Ming Dynasty. When you inherit the throne in the future, don't listen to other people's provocations, and have your own thinking. ”

Zhu Cihong was deeply shocked and said, "Father, the son has been taught!" ”

"I will send troops on November 16, and there is still some time, you can go back and prepare for the school, if there is any problem, I can give you some advice."

"Yes, Father. The minister retired first. ”

"Well, go ahead."

After the prince left, Chongzhen also immediately rushed to the camp of the Son of Heaven. Tianziwei has been standing for a morning.

Chongzhen ordered the commander of Tianziwei last night to let Tianziwei gather at the school today, and the emperor would personally select the five most elite soldiers.

Today was originally a matter for him to choose the most elite Tianziwei to go on the expedition, and when Guang Shiheng killed such a thing halfway, he had to clean up Guang Shiheng first, otherwise when Guang Shiheng reacted, there would be no chance, and it was difficult to guarantee that Guang Shiheng would provoke the prince again after he went on the expedition.

A morning is a morning, and compared to marching and fighting, it is considered easy. If you can complain all morning, then you can't fight any battle with these soldiers.

It's a test of your patience!

Speaking of this Tianziwei, after Bailice recruited soldiers from Shanxi, Chongzhen divided Tianziwei into twenty guards. Chongzhen adopted the forbidden army system of the Song Dynasty, and the twenty commanders took turns to train the troops, so that the soldiers of the Tianziwei only recognized the emperor, not the commander. Chongzhen doesn't have to worry about having examples like Zuo Liangyu's self-respecting rebellion.

Of course, Chongzhen is not worried that someone can lead Tianziwei to rebel, because this army is recruited by the emperor, and all of them are from ordinary people. And when Chongzhen defended the capital, he ate and lived with Tianziwei, and Chongzhen often went to Tianziwei's various guards to patrol the camp.

For this Tianziwei, the emperor is the only general in their army!

When Chongzhen arrived at the school grounds, the commanders of the Tianziwei guards were already waiting at the gate of the school grounds.

After waiting all morning, I couldn't see the gloom on their faces, but when they saw the emperor coming, they all came over happily to greet them.

"The commanders have armor on them, excuse me!"

The commanders and envoys were all wearing armor, and the emperor said that there was no need to kneel, but they still had to salute.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Hmmm! I'm going to pick out the most elite Five Thousand Heavenly Guards today, and you're all doing well! ”

Well? The performance is good, the emperor, you let us come to the school early to gather and wait, although you came over for most of the day, but we who are courtiers should wait for you, what is the good performance?

"Your Majesty, this is the duty of the last general!"

"Let's go to the school stage, I want to speak to the whole army."

"Your Majesty, please!"

"Hmm."

Chongzhen looked at these Tianziwei commanders, among them, Chongzhen's impressive commanders were Wang Dahu, Liu Feng, Yang Yuanyong and Ma Chengqian.

As for what kind of people they are, Chongzhen doesn't quite understand.

Historically, these people were originally peasants who did their duty or were forced to go to be rogues because they couldn't eat enough, but because Chongzhen raided the eight Jin merchants and recruited troops in Shanxi, these people couldn't survive to be soldiers, and they were directly selected by Chongzhen to be the commander, it's as simple as that.

After the defense of the capital, Chongzhen only got to know these people generally, the big tiger has a hot temper, extremely brave, Chongzhen designed the sheep intestine urn city when the pass is not opened, the person who is the pass is Wang Dahu.

Liu Feng, Yang Yuanyong and Ma Chengqian, Chongzhen don't know much about them, just because they are loyal and burly, and they are more prominent among everyone. When killing the enemy, he also took the lead, and Chongzhen promoted them to be commanders.

Chongzhen did this just to tell the other Tianziwei that there are no airborne generals in this army, the emperor is in the army, you bravely kill the enemy, make military achievements, the emperor will promote you, and you can be promoted!

"Your Majesty, how do we get started?" Liu Feng asked as he walked.

He only received one order, that is, to let him lead the Tianziwei to gather in the school field, and the emperor wanted to select the elite among the elite. There were no other orders, and they waited on the school yard until the end of the day.

"My first test, patience, you have done. Next comes the second step, courage! ”

Patience? Guts?

The other commanders are puzzled, I look at you and you look at me, when will you test your patience? And courage, what test of courage? Killing? We are not afraid of killing, we have all killed people in the defense of the capital!

"Several of you commanders have done well, and when I speak to the soldiers, you will understand."

Chongzhen walked to the school platform and said loudly to the Tianziwei in the audience, "Soldiers, today I want to select the most elite 5,000 people among your 100,000 people, carry the heaven-sent artifact, and fight the world with me!" Pacify Li Zicheng, Zhu Yousong, Zhu Changshu and the Qing Demon, a group of chaotic ministers and thieves! The first test of mine is patience, which is not only a test of your soldiers, but also a test of you commanders, and I am very satisfied, you have passed the test! ”

Standing there in the morning without any orders, this is a test of patience? This test of patience is inevitably too simple.

"Tang Taizong Li Shimin once defeated Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong's 100,000 allied army with 3,000 cavalry, why did Li Shimin win? It was because Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong's coalition army was impatient, they were rushed by Li Shimin's cavalry, their command was interrupted, and they became lambs to be slaughtered on the battlefield! The first level of my patience test is to tell you that the battlefield is ever-changing, no matter how it changes, as long as you have patience, the formation will not be chaotic, you can survive on the battlefield, and you can achieve victory! ”

Oh, I see. The commander and Tianziwei suddenly realized! It turned out that by standing there all morning without any orders, it was a test of our patience.

Fortunately, although I was hungry all morning, I didn't ask the commander when he would eat.

No wonder so many brocade guards are here today, it turns out that they are testing us.

Seeing that the emperor is so happy, our performance is very satisfied!
