『Chapter error, click here to report』

If you want to ask how to repair this city, Zhu Cijiong really doesn't know, he can't even pile up the earthen walls, but it doesn't matter, Daming has experts in this area, the original Liaodong Army is the leader in this area, they are all trained under the leadership of Sun Chengzong, everyone has practiced the ability to repair the fortress, and the city wall is scary quickly. Fastest updates

Now that the Liaodong Army is far away in Guanning, it is naturally impossible for Zhu Cijiong to transfer them over, but the Dingliao Army is guarding the prisoners in Fengyang, the central capital, and it is the same to transfer them over, because the Dingliao Army was formed in Liaodong, and the grassroots generals in the army are basically the old men of the original Liaodong Army, and building a city wall is simpler for them than drinking porridge.

Moreover, there were nearly 300,000 rebel prisoners in Fengyang, the central capital, and Zhu Cijiong originally wanted them to stay there to build a railway from Kaifeng to Fengyang, but now it seems that it is important to expand the capital, so Zhu Cijiong directly issued an edict ordering the Dingliao army and the Wuwei army to quickly escort all the captives of the central capital Fengyang to the capital.

This Fengyang Mansion Wu Pingwei to the capital can be thousands of miles away, even if Qin Gongming and Li Mingfu are desperately hurrying, it is estimated that it will take half a month to arrive, such a long time our Chongzheng Emperor Zhu Cijiong will naturally not be idle, he has long wanted to carry out a comprehensive reorganization of the Ming army, but the peasant uprising in the northwest has not been resolved in the past few years, and a certain number of defenders must be retained in various places, and it is impossible to carry out the reorganization, and now the northwest is finally completely pacified, and the reorganization can be put on the agenda.

According to the establishment of the Ming army at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were about 2.8 million in total, and in order to save expenses, they were basically changed to tun guards, leaving only a few border troops to guard the nine sides. Zhu Cijiong asked Sun Yuanhua to check, and there was no one missing!

It's been more than 300 years, why aren't there any of them? In fact, it is not surprising at all, although the tunwei does not have a salary, but there is no need to pay taxes, and the land is provided by the imperial court free of charge, that is to say, as long as you are diligent, it is not a problem to support your family at all, so the quota of military households is very popular in the local area. In the Ming Dynasty, there was no moderation in childbirth, and there was a lot of life in life, and there was naturally no problem with the inheritance of this military household, even if it was a military household, there were definitely various relatives competing for the scalp to grab this place, so the military household of the Ming Dynasty has not been reduced for more than 300 years, and I don't know if there is actually a reduction, at least on the books.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhu Cijiong to reorganize all the 2.8 million garrisons into regular legions, in that case, the annual military expenditure will be astronomical, and even if he makes money faster than grabbing money, he will not be able to support so many troops, and he is ready to expand two legions on the existing basis, and then form three reserve corps.

The two legions that expanded were actually the original garrisons of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, and the central capital of Fengyang, and other places, and the defenders in these places ranged from 30,000 to 50,000, adding up to almost 250,000.

Why did these 250,000 only form two legions, but don't forget that there is also a First Legion of the Expeditionary Force in Mysore in the South Asian Subcontinent, which is the first-class legion of the Ming Dynasty, but now there are only 50,000 people, Zhu Cijiong is ready to select among these 250,000 people, and select the most elite 50,000 to supplement the First Legion of the Expeditionary Force.

He also thought of the names of the remaining two legions, which were called the Second Legion of the Expeditionary Force and the Second Legion of the Frontier Army, as for the candidate for the main general, he was ready to transfer Qin Yiming as the chief general of the Second Legion of the Expeditionary Force, Shi Weila complained more than once, Ceylon is not very peaceful, and the rubber saplings planted are afraid that they are in danger of being destroyed, so simply let Qin Yiming take the Second Legion of the Expeditionary Force to defend it for two years, and when the saplings grow up, it will not be so easy to be destroyed, and at the same time, it is also a kind of exercise for Qin Yiming, at least he can familiarize himself with the colonial environment as soon as possible.

The chief general of the First Legion of the Frontier Army, Zhu Cijiong is ready to promote Cao Bianjiao to serve, this kid is a little younger, but the title of the first fierce general of the Ming Dynasty is not boastful, both qualifications and military exploits are enough to be the commander of the corps.

As for Zhu Cijiong, the chief general of the Second Army of the Border Guards, is optimistic about Ma Xianglin, the battle in Kuizhou Mansion directly let Zhu Cijiong see the ability of this cousin, he was able to beat Zhang Xianzhong's 100,000 army with 30,000 ordinary defenders, and his ability is beyond doubt, as for his loyalty, he has already passed the test of history, Chongzhen led a lone army to defend Xiangyang, fought until the ammunition and food were exhausted, and the soldiers under him were killed and wounded, and finally died in the country, what kind of loyalty is this, just by virtue of this, he is qualified to be the commander of the army.

In other words, Zhu Cijiong is a bit overdone by using Qin Liangyu's family so much? You must know that Qin Liangyu is already the chief general of the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard, Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming are also the chief generals of the legion, and now he has promoted his son to be the chief general of the legion, this family of four fully controls the army of 400,000, what if they rebel?

This worry is completely superfluous, in history, all the men of her Qin family, including her son and daughter-in-law, have sacrificed their lives for the country, she is also unswervingly fighting against the Qing army, until the end of regret, to the country, to the nation, to the Ming Emperor's loyalty is beyond doubt, as for some people say that she is to protect the interests of her Tusi, this is pure nonsense, her husband, brothers, sons, daughters-in-law, nephews did not die to protect the interests of Tusi.

Her husband, Ma Qiancheng, was wounded while suppressing the rebellion of Tusi Yang Yinglong for the imperial court, and then was framed by eunuchs and died of illness in prison;

Her elder brothers Qin Bangping and Qin Banghan fought against Houjin in the Hunhe River and sacrificed their lives for the country;

Her younger brother Qin Minping was killed in battle while suppressing the Rebellion of Hao'an for the imperial court;

Her son defended Xiangyang alone and sacrificed his life for the country;

Her daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi led the army to pursue and suppress the anti-thief king for her own use and died in battle;

Her nephew, Qin Gongming, was killed in battle while suppressing the Shapu Rebellion for the imperial court;

This seems a bit incomprehensible, in the chaotic times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, everyone was protecting themselves, but they went forward one after another, rushing to reincarnate and sacrifice their lives for the country, what is this for? What makes them so loyal to the country? The sporadic accounts in the historical sources may explain why they were for:

According to historical records, Qin Liangyu's father, Zhongzhou Gongsheng Qin Kui, said to his sons: "There will be something going on in the world, and Er Cao can do it as a social leader, and my son is also." ”

According to historical records, her son Ma Xianglin wrote a letter before sacrificing his life for the country: "My son swears to live and die with Xiangyang, and I hope that my mother will not think about the safety of my son!" “

Qin Liangyu's reply was only one sentence: "Okay! Good! Good! Loyal to the country, true Wu'er! “

It can be seen that the Qin family has a tradition of loyalty and patriotism, and such a family with loyalty to the country as its family motto and a family full of loyal martyrs cannot be reused, so who else can use it!
