The first heavy snow in the land of Xuandae in Gyeonggi in the winter of the second year of Chongzhen fell all night and did not stop until the next morning.

A few nights before the battle under Juyong Pass, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't sleep well in the Yongsheng Building.

And since yesterday afternoon, after the end of the battle under Juyong Pass, Emperor Chongzhen, who was both excited and tired, returned to the tower on the Yongsheng Gate, wanted to take a simple rest, and then summoned all the civil and military generals, but soon fell asleep, and slept until the next morning.

After waking up, the world is completely different from before, and everything you see inside and outside Juyong Pass is covered in silver, ice and snow.

After the war, the matter of rewarding the whole army has already been decided, and at this time, there are ministers such as Bi Ziyan, Bi Maokang, and Nan Juyi who are specially responsible for the preparation of food and salary mobilization to handle it, and the emperor himself naturally does not need to worry about it at this time.

And the nearly 40,000 soldiers in the entire Juyong Pass were also elated by the victory and rich reward in yesterday's battle, and there was an atmosphere of celebration up and down.

Nearly 40,000 soldiers, in addition to slaughtering pigs and sheep and a more sumptuous horse meat feast, the silver yuan reward promised by Emperor Chongzhen before the war was also fulfilled early in the morning.

Each man was to be given six months' salary according to his rank.

Among the officers, those with higher positions can get hundreds of silver dollars at a time.

And the more ordinary soldiers, each of them can get at least twelve Chongzhen silver yuan rewards.

For today's Emperor Chongzhen and Bi Ziyan, the head of the household department, this is not a huge amount of money.

But for the 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers in Juyong Pass, it is a lot of income.

And it was when he received such a reward with almost no casualties, and the morale of the army went without saying.

After the heavy snow stopped, Emperor Chongzhen wrapped a thick mink fur, took Chen Zhuoting, Deng Tianhe, Yang Zhen and other imperial attendants and military attachés, and followed by Gao Wencai, Liu Zhaoji, Lu Hualin and other personnel of the Tiance Guard Gong Guard, along the right wing of the city wall in Juyong Pass, all the way to the Great Wall of Watergate, which was the fiercest battle yesterday.

The thick snow that fell last night covered the piles, patches, and corpses on the river surface below the city, but there are still traces of the cruelty of yesterday's bloody battle.

Some frozen corpses, left on the ice of the Wenyu River, under the thick layer of snow in various strange shapes, show the fierce scenes of war.

Due to the heavy snowfall, the entire battlefield yesterday has become a world of ice and snow.

Because of this, the results of the battle outside the city could not be counted for a while, but looking at the battlefield within a radius of several miles full of dead enemies, Emperor Chongzhen and others knew that yesterday's harvest must be not small.

When the figure of Emperor Chongzhen appeared on a platform, the shouts of the officers and soldiers of the Guards soon resounded on the Great Wall of Watergate.

After this battle, the people of Juyong Pass will sit back and relax, and Emperor Chongzhen, who insisted on coming to Juyong Pass to defend against the enemy, has reached a new peak in prestige.

At noon that day, the battle report from Zijing Pass was finally sent to Juyong Pass by the Chinese army messenger from the second town of the Guards Army and to Emperor Chongzhen.

The death of Chen Hongfan, the chief soldier of Baoding, and the heavy casualties of the Baoding soldiers under Chen Hongfan, made Emperor Chongzhen slightly surprised, but also inexplicably had a feeling of losing his burden.

On the one hand, the hereditary noble generals of the Jingshi family did not have the opportunity to occupy and exploit the military households under their jurisdiction, nor did they have all kinds of restrictions on the military households engaged in other industries, so they were welcomed by many low-level military households.

On the other hand, this has also created a new account for the payment of food.

All of a sudden, many of the guards in the area of North Zhili were transferred to the state capital, and the commanders and commanders of the guards were also transferred to the Tongzhi or the general judgment of the state capital in accordance with the orders of the Zhili Governor's Office, while the thousands of households and deputy thousands of households in the Qianhu Office were transferred to the state and county officials, or the officials of the post station system and the inspection department.

In the Ming Dynasty, the military positions of the guards with high grades and low status in the sequence of civil and military officials were changed to civilian officials of the corresponding grades.

Therefore, the reform of the guard post in Beizhili for more than a year has progressed quite smoothly, and the problem of redundant guards in the area of Beizhili has been solved for the time being.

However, as for the redundant personnel of the battalion soldiers accumulated since Jiajing in the territory of Beizhili, especially since Wanli, whether it is Emperor Chongzhen himself or Nanjuyi, who was ordered to be responsible for carrying out the pilot reform in the territory of Beizhili, they are at a loss.

And it is these inland battalions that should be reformed the most.

These battalions are also recruits, and they need to pay money, food, and salaries to support their families.

Regardless of whether they have combat effectiveness or not, whether they can play a role on the battlefield or not, this money, food, and military salary cannot be less.

Moreover, these people are not like the guards in Gyeonggi, who own the land that was demarcated when the imperial court set up the guards.

Therefore, for these indiscriminate and ineffective inland town guards, it is impossible for the imperial court to disband them when they say they are disbanded, and they will be left to fend for themselves.

This time, the battalion leaders under the jurisdiction of the Baoding General Military Office of the Northern Zhili were almost killed and wounded on the Bauhinia Ridge, and almost all those who dared to fight were killed, and those who did not dare to fight were also arrested and executed directly by Wang Fu and Fang Kongzhi, who had always had strict military discipline, because they fled from the battle.

In this way, this thorny problem that is difficult to solve is solved at once.

After receiving the battle report from Bauhinia Pass, the civil and military officials in Juyong Pass knew that Jianlu's other road Zhenglan Banner and the Mongol servant army had been severely damaged by the second town of the Guards under Bauhinia Pass, and everyone was overjoyed.

Everyone understands that the situation after Jianyu broke through from killing Hukou was reversed because of the two victories under Juyong Pass and Bauhinia Pass.

On the morning of the same day, Emperor Chongzhen summoned the civil and military officials accompanying him and quickly made the next arrangements.

First, he sent people to rush back to Beijing from Juyong Pass, and reported his success along the way, so as to appease the hearts of the people of Jingshi.

Second, he sent people to immediately rush from Juyong Pass to Gubeikou, reported the battle situation of Juyong Pass to Sun Chengzong and sent an edict, ordering him to lead the troops of Rehebao, Karaqin and Duolun, as well as the Jianchang Battalion and Santun Camp stationed outside the border of Jizhen, waiting for an opportunity to attack the Jianguo stationed outside the Guan, and block the return of Jianguo.

Third, he once again sent people to Yanmen Pass to deliver the decree, ordering Li Banghua to lead the troops of Shanxi Town and Yansui Town under his command to attack from Yanmen Pass and Ningwu Pass as soon as possible to destroy the enemy's Jianyu army scattered in Shuozhou, Mayi, Yingzhou and other places.

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen also ordered the 3,000 battalions to send cavalry squads to Xuanfu and Datong to send orders to launch a counterattack as soon as possible, and strive to leave more prisoners in the pass.

As for the direction of Bauhinia Pass, Emperor Chongzhen sent an edict to Ding Kuichu, the governor of Baoding, Wang Fu, the commander of the second town of the Guards, and Kong Zhi, the commander of the imperial history of the army, and others, posthumously presented Chen Hongfan, the chief soldier of Baoding, as the general of Zhaoyong, and gave the burial of Bauhinia Pass, built an ancestral hall and erected a monument, and gave a generous pension to his family.

And from now on, the Baoding General Military Mansion will be abolished, and it will be changed to the official office, military camp and defense place located in Baoding City, which is the second town of the Ming Royal Guard.

At the same time, Ding Kuichu was ordered to return to Baoding to deal with the aftermath of the Baoding General Military Mansion, Fang Kongzhi was ordered to stay in Zijing Pass, and Wang Fu was ordered to lead the main force of the second town of the Guards Army to go out of Wulonggou and recover the southeast of Datong Town

In the afternoon of the same day, after this follow-up deployment was made, Emperor Chongzhen's side of the Zhongshu Sheren, the attendant military attache and the guards of the pro-army Tiance Guard, quickly acted as messengers to deliver the decree, and rushed from Juyong Pass to the four directions to convey this exciting and exciting edict.
