"It's just a few Ming dogs killed, how long will it take!" Mang Gurtai listened and said with a little disdain.

Dai Shan was going to North Korea, and Amin was already there, and he didn't think it would take long to fight, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know all this." ”

"In that case, then please leave it to you!" Huang Taiji said, and solemnly clasped his fists and saluted.

So, Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai took their leave and went to prepare separately.

Huang Taiji waited for them to leave, no longer calm and calm, his face became very ugly again, and after scolding Haoge away, he was quietly in a daze alone.

Don't look at him didn't say much just now, but the destruction of Jin Shang and how big the loss to Dajin was, he knew it in his heart.

On the land route, the closest to Liaodong is the land of Gyeonggi, but there is a Shanhai Pass stuck, and it is basically impossible for the merchants of the land of Gyeonggi to trade with Dajin, and Shanxi was a butcher's knife by the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and there must be no merchant who dares to continue to hook up with Dajin, and then go west to Qindi. Not only was the Qin land too far away, but also the materials were insufficient, and it was impossible to replace the Jin merchants.

As soon as he thought of this, Huang Taiji couldn't help but have a headache. Now that there are no Jin merchants, all military supplies such as food and iron tools are robbed, and there is no source of internal news, so we have to find another way.

After sitting silently for a long time, ignoring the darkness of the night, he ordered Hanchen Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanme, and Bai Yangcui, who had just returned to him, to discuss the matter.

At this time, in the Beijing Division, Emperor Chongzhen, who also did not sleep, was in a good mood, he looked at the painted new military uniform, and looked forward to the selection of the new army starting tomorrow.

Because of the distance traveled by the general soldiers in various places, the selection of this new army will last for a month. He thought about this new army for a long time, and finally decided to adopt the later system.

There is no other reason, because of this new army, Emperor Chongzhen has high hopes. Therefore, he would rather have fewer people but become elite.

As it was said in the original will, this new army is different from the past. The old official positions will be erased, and the selection of officers based on their ability in training should be distinguished from the current officers and soldiers, and it is better to simply build a completely different army.

This new army is to make people refresh and make it a benchmark for the future reform of the army!

With the expectation of the new army, Emperor Chongzhen slept until dawn.

The selection of the new army was held at the school site in Beijing. Early in the morning, the official who presided over the selection appeared. There are Rong Mangui, the general manager of the Beijing camp, Wang Chengen, the supervisor of the Beijing camp, and Shen Yongmao, the secretary of the military department. This level is so high that the people below dare not be unsatisfied, and those soldiers who participated in the selection have an even greater sense of expectation in their hearts. This kind of specification is completely different from the previous appointment of a minister to be in charge of the training of the new army.

In fact, the selection of the new army is also very simple, first check the military registration and the identity certificate issued by the general soldiers in various places and other documents similar to the letter of introduction of later generations, and then record whether the soldiers are literate and what they are good at, such as bow and arrow, horsemanship, reconnaissance, wrestler, etc., and then the selection and assessment arrangements will be carried out according to this information.

Man Gui and the others naturally didn't have to be busy in person, they just sat on the stage at the Jingying point, watched their subordinates doing things, and checked the registration information sent by their subordinates from time to time.

No, a director of the Ministry of War came to the stage again and submitted a document to Shen Yongmao, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

Shen Yongmao took it casually, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, and immediately turned his head to Man Gui beside him and said: "Uncle Zhongyong, look at it, among these all-round people, there used to be an official position to be the general, this is really a big decision!" ”

Seeing Man Gui was also a little surprised, while he stretched out his hand to take the information, Shen Yongmao said again: "This person is still from Guanning, you have been there before, and his ambition is very high!" Aren't you afraid that the new army will lose the election, and you won't even have a commander? ”

After Man Gui took it, he looked at it for a while, he was a little embarrassed, he found the column of his past official position, and recognized the two words, but when he found the name, he relied on Lian Meng to guess and read: "Cao ...... Change...... Jiao, did Cao become Jiao? ”

"Hehe, Lao Man, you have to ask someone to teach you to read!" Wang Chengen listened and said with a smile.

He partnered with Man Gui, and he was favored by the emperor, and he did not dare to live up to the grace of God, but he also agreed with Man Gui, so he had a good relationship with Man Gui. At this time, seeing the difficulty of Mangui's literacy, he couldn't help but remind with a smile.

Man Gui's bearded face suddenly turned red, but then it returned to normal, handed it to Wang Chengen, and said affirmatively: "It's Cao Bianjiao, I shouldn't admit my mistake." I know that his uncle is the deputy general Cao Wenzhao, who has always been brought up by Cao Wenzhao in the army, and he is good among young people. I didn't expect him to dare to break away from his uncle's command, and he didn't even take the general, and he was going to come to the new army! Tsk, ambitious! ”

At this time, Wang Chengen also read it, confirmed that Man Gui did not recognize the typo, and heard him say this, he was a little surprised in his heart, and he couldn't help but remember the name. In today's officialdom, many rely on relationships, and in the army, they rely on family background, only in this way can they stand firm and rise quickly.

This Cao Bianjiao, his uncle is Guan Ning's deputy general, and if he has been under his uncle, he has a bright future, as long as he mixes up, he will definitely be able to rise smoothly in the future. I really didn't expect that he would dare to give up all this to participate in the selection of the new army.

Thinking of this, he stood up and said to the other two, "Let's go and walk!" ”

As soon as he said this, the other two knew that Wang Chengen was going towards Cao Bianjiao. They are also interested, but they hold their own identities, and it is inconvenient to go out of their way to see them, and these eunuchs can be faceless and skinless in order to do things.

Although he thought so, Shen Yongmao still smiled and nodded in response: "Father-in-law, go by yourself, we are here here, it's okay!" ”

"Haha, it seems that this Cao Bianjiao is betting right, without Cao Wenzhao's backstage, he can win the favor of the prince!" Man Gui said with a laugh.

Wang Chengen was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but then his face returned to normal and said: "Our family is also helpless, when we go back to serve the emperor, if we casually ask about the good seedlings in the new army, our family must also have something to say." ”

Hearing him say this, Shen Yongmao can be sure that the ** of the ten is something similar to that that Emperor Chongzhen had mentioned before, so he kept Wang Chengen in mind. It seems that as Man Gui, a rough man, said, this Cao Bianjiao has won an advantage that others do not have by virtue of his previous official position and background, and he is likely to be recommended to the emperor by Wang Chengen.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen, who was mentioned by them, was not idle, and drove to the inner study hall, looked at the young eunuchs kneeling on the ground, admired their vigor, and waved his hand to let them flat!
