In the barracks, as soon as Sun Chuanting arrived, the soldiers who were training everywhere quickly assembled on the school ground. During the whole process, in addition to the sound of the officer's command, there was only the sound of neat footsteps, as well as the sound of the collision of armor and weapons. There can be movement, only the movement of soldiers, and there are no other sounds.

Sun Chuanting on the stage sat on the main seat, and he didn't drink tea, but just glanced at the front of the stage with cold eyes.

It didn't take much effort for the 5,000 soldiers to be assembled. One by one, they held their heads high and looked straight ahead. Their method of training soldiers was not practiced according to Qi Jiguang's military book, but according to Sun Chuanting's own will.

Severe punishment, when this army had just assembled and reorganized, Sun Chuanting killed several soldiers who did not obey military discipline in front of the whole army. Most of these soldiers who do not obey military discipline are ruffians, military tyrants, and some are generals, or have backgrounds. They think that they are either very powerful and can be used as elites, or they feel that no one dares to do anything about their status or backstage. As a result, after Sun Chuanting received the report, he did not hesitate and cut it directly.

These heads, killing the whole army immediately remembered the nickname of this governor: the cold-faced Hades! Since this one arrived in the south, he has cut off a lot of heads, regardless of civil and military, there are ghosts under the knife.

In this way, these soldiers did not dare not listen to Sun Chuanting's orders, and did not dare not do it seriously. Otherwise, once the cold-faced Hades sees the mistake, it is possible to lose his head.

However, what they didn't expect was that Sun Chuanting's reward for those who performed well among them was also very generous. Some soldiers were directly promoted from small soldiers to generals; The reward that should be given is never overnight, and it is never deducted.

In this way, this army has the performance it has today, with an order, like an arm.

In this regard, Sun Chuanting privately taught his trusted general Liu Guoneng: These soldiers are all guards of the army, ancestral combat skills, and they are not ignorant people. For them, there is nothing more than clear rewards and punishments. If you can do this, you will be able to get an elite army!

At this time, after seeing that the assembly was completed, he didn't speak, just waved his hand. The guards on the side gave the order to go down and began to practice. In the process, Sun Chuanting finally stood up and walked to the front of the stage to watch. About an hour later, the soldiers were sweating profusely and began to assemble again.

Sun Chuanting strode off the platform, walked among the soldiers with a cold face, and looked over one by one, his eyes seemed to be like these were thieves in front of him.

The pennant was fierce, the war horses were snorting, and the school field was exceptionally quiet.

Suddenly, Sun Chuanting's voice rang out, still coldly: "This official thinks that if you can't just practice on the battlefield, you can't talk about the elite!" Soldiers, if you want to make meritorious deeds, seal your wife and son, and glorify your ancestors, you can only go to the battlefield! ”

Speaking of this, he paused, turned around and walked back to the general's platform, came to the front of the stage, looked at the dense soldiers below, and shouted coldly: "The value of a soldier is on the battlefield!" Go to the battlefield, fight for yourself, fight for the Ming, fight for the emperor! Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while, and after the official plays the emperor and sets aside the supervising army, you will go to the battlefield! ”

Don't look at Sun Chuanting, who is known as the cold-faced king of Hades, it seems that no one will give face, the iron face is cold-blooded, and the offended people are gone. But in fact, he is very measured. He knows who has the thickest thighs in the Ming Dynasty! He knows what can be unscrupulous and what must be done carefully!

For example, he collects taxes and kills people, and he is not merciless, because this is doing things for the emperor; In this Chongzhen Dynasty, the emperor is very wise, and he will naturally be fine; But this is a matter of military power, although he knows that the emperor trusts him, he does not dare to gain an inch. This army, he almost single-handedly operated, in the eyes of the outside world, it is estimated that it will be named "Sun Jiajun". And that's what he doesn't want.

The Beijing division in the north has already given a good example, taking the new army as a model and dispatching supervision troops at all levels, and the control of this army in the future is actually in the hands of the supervision army, not a supervision army, but a supervision army at all levels. In this way, this army is equivalent to the army of the imperial court, and it has little to do with his Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting estimated that in another month or two, after waiting for the Francophile from Guangdong to give an answer, or after bargaining, this army is estimated to be useful. So this time, he came in advance to say hello.

On the way back, he chatted privately with Emperor Chongzhen in the chat group and said: "Your Majesty, the military system reform of the guard here in Fuzhou has been completed, and the training of the soldiers, Weichen has just been reviewed, and he should be able to kill the enemy on the battlefield." Weichen asked His Majesty to send a supervisor to take office as soon as possible. ”

Emperor Chongzhen happened to be online, and when he saw Sun Chuanting's private chat, he couldn't help frowning.

There is one point that he underestimated in advance, that is, the manpower of the prison army is insufficient. On the Jingshi side, since the first batch of supervisors were elected to serve in the new army, the follow-up training of the supervisors has also been continuous. The eunuchs of the inner study hall have also graduated batch after batch. But most of these eunuchs were sent to the second batch of new troops to serve as supervisors.

Originally, Emperor Chongzhen also thought that if he relied on eunuchs to be the supervisors, it would definitely not be enough. Therefore, at that time, he planned to recruit some Xiucai and other scholars, and after training, he thought that he would supervise the army.

But in the process of implementation, it was not smooth. The first is that it is difficult to show talents; The second is that even if they are recruited, they are either too weak in physique or pedantic in their brains, and at most they will teach the soldiers to read and write, and the control of the soldiers' minds is really too far from the requirements.

Unexpectedly, the matter about the source of the prison army had not been straightened out, and Sun Chuanting's request came.

Of course, if it was just Sun Chuanting's 5,000-strong army in Fuzhou, it would be nothing, and there would be ready-made supervisors in the Beijing division that could be sent. But the problem is that Fujian alone is not just a 5,000-strong regular army in Fuzhou. There are two capitals and thirteen provinces in the country, of course, there are more than that, there are more Mongolia, Liaodong and Korea, and the number of supervising troops needed is a large number.

I couldn't think of a clue for a while, but he didn't delay Sun Chuanting's request, and immediately replied to Sun Chuanting, he would immediately send a prison army from Beijing, and he would be able to reach Fuzhou in less than a month.

After Emperor Chongzhen arranged this matter, he began to consider the matter of supervising the army. I didn't think it before, but now I already feel that this matter is imminent. I thought about it for a while, but I didn't think of it, so I walked casually and walked to the Imperial Garden.

Although it is an imperial garden, at this time, when the weather is cold, everything is withered, and there is nothing to see.

However, at this time, the imperial garden was not deserted at all. Emperor Chongzhen had only stepped into the imperial garden for a while, and he heard a faint voice, and there seemed to be cheers.

When he listened carefully, he smiled and walked over.

In an open field by the lake, silver bell-like laughter was heard from time to time, and two groups of women, cheering and shouting to each other, seemed to be trying something.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the ladies are comparing archery, and the slaves and maids will go and spread the word first." Fang Zhenghua, who was accompanying Emperor Chongzhen, had good eyesight, and had seen the situation clearly, so he said to the emperor with a little smile.

The sword has no eyes, let alone a bow and arrow. For the safety of the emperor, Fang Zhenghua was duty, and after the confession, Emperor Chongzhen did not say anything, so he turned his head and shouted: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, although he felt that he was making a little fuss, his duty was up to him.

When the crowd heard this, they immediately came to pick it up. Emperor Chongzhen saw clearly at this time that it was Tian Guifei and Hai Guifei who were competing in archery.

After seeing the ceremony, Tian Guifei smiled and said a little coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you come to be a middle-aged person and see who shoots the most accurately!" ”

Tian Guifei is among the concubines, who can play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, ride horses and shoot arrows, which can be said to be both civil and military; Although the slightly thicker Hailanzhu comes from the grassland, this ability to ride horses and shoot arrows is needless to say. The two of them will be trying to shoot arrows, and they will be different.

Hai Lanzhu listened to it, and also looked forward to it, obviously hoping that Emperor Chongzhen could also participate in the game together.

However, Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about something, so he shook his head and said with a smile: "The two concubines have played by themselves, I just came over and walked around!" “

Tian Guifei spent the longest time with him, especially when she went to Jiangnan, she was the only one who accompanied her. Therefore, she can be regarded as someone who knows Emperor Chongzhen's character better. As soon as she heard the emperor's words, she couldn't help asking: "Liaodong has been recovered, what else can bother Your Majesty?" ”

Hai Lanzhu on the side heard this, and quickly showed concern and said, "If Your Majesty has something, it is better to tell us about it!" ”

Hearing this, Tian Guifei couldn't help but be slightly stunned, turned her head to look at Hai Lanzhu, and gestured slightly, wanting to stop Hai Lanzhu who was talking a lot.

You must know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Obviously, Hai Lanzhu, who doesn't understand the rules, is from the grassland, and she doesn't know this, or she doesn't realize it, and she is likely to commit a taboo.

Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen didn't seem to take it to heart, and said to Tian Guifei with a smile: "I want to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty and bring the Ming Dynasty to an unprecedented height, recovering Liaodong is only the first step, and there are still many things to consider!" ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Hai Lanzhu, and then said, "The overseer in the new army, you have been in contact with it before. Now that the national military system is being reformed, and the new army will be formed one after another, there will be a lot of supervisors, and I am worried for a while, I am afraid that I will not be able to meet the needs of so many supervisors! ”

After saying that, he was about to say something like "it's fun" and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, Hai Lanzhu answered casually: "Your Majesty, what's so worrying about this?" The master taught the apprentices, and those people in the new army knew what the prison army should do? They must be loyal to the emperor! I think they can be in a hurry! ”

She accompanied Emperor Chongzhen to Liaodong, so naturally she often saw those new army soldiers. She is the daughter of the patriarch of the Horqin tribe, and naturally she has her experience. From her perspective as a bystander, she could see that the reverence of the soldiers of the new army for the emperor was something she had never seen anywhere else before. What I just said is definitely not flattery!

When Emperor Chongzhen heard Hai Lanzhu ask this, he suddenly woke up the dreamer with a word! He is naturally also aware of his weight in the hearts of the officers and men of the new army. As Hai Lanzhu said, the officers and men of the New Army usually stay with the supervisors at all levels, and the earliest batch have been together for two years. Among them, the duties of the supervising army, as well as their words and deeds, these new army officers and soldiers all see it. Let them go to other armies to do the work of supervising the army. Emperor Chongzhen dared to guarantee that these new army soldiers might be more qualified than those eunuchs who had been trained but had not yet experienced the baptism of war.

More importantly, there are nearly 20,000 people in the new army. Selecting a few thousand people, combining old and new, and sending them to all parts of the country, can at least effectively alleviate the shortage of the prison army, and can also ensure that they can be competent to supervise the army!

Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen was immediately overjoyed. I have been thinking about things without a good solution, but I was solved by Hai Lanzhu casually. Happy, he immediately stepped forward and kissed Hai Lanzhu, and then found that Tian Guifei was stunned on the side, so he also stepped forward, hugged Tian Guifei and kissed him, and then led Fang Zhenghua away in the continued sluggishness of the group of palace maids.

The matter of supervising the army is related to the new army, that is, it is also related to the things planned a year ago. You have to think about the situation. But now that you've found the right direction, there's not much of a problem left.

The trip to the Imperial Garden is an unexpected joy. However, Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect that sometimes, it was not just unexpected joy. What happened at the same time on this day was unexpectedly for Emperor Chongzhen. Of course, Schvera didn't expect it either.

After Svera conveyed the ultimatum of the Ming Kingdom to his subordinates, he was ready to pack up his things and withdraw to Nanyang. Because he knew that according to the requirements of the Ming Kingdom, it was impossible to be satisfied. However, when his men heard this, they quit.

At first, it was only a small complaint. Schvera knew about this and didn't care. This kind of thing, in fact, he has complaints in his own heart. What Annan did over there, he was asked to wipe his butt and complain about it.

But later, when his men went to the town, most of what they encountered were suspended, suspended, and suspended, and they became angry, and there was a conflict with the people of the Ming Kingdom who packed up their things and prepared to leave. However, at the beginning, this conflict was still restrained. After all, these subordinates of Svera have not been here for a day or two and know what the consequences of the conflict will be! At least here, it is impossible for the governor to shield his subordinates like in other places, otherwise the Ming government will not be able to explain.

But when these men returned to the camp with resentment, the complaints in the camp immediately boiled. On the third day, when the Portuguese went out into the streets, and saw that many shops had been closed in the streets, and others, such as the people who served the Portuguese barracks, had also gone a lot, causing them great inconvenience, the accumulated resentment always exploded.
