Time flies, just in the blink of an eye, it has entered the late October of the first year of Chongzhen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The mountains and mountains near Changping in the north of the Ming Dynasty were still verdant in September, and began to turn red and yellow in October, and then only half a month, and they all fell.

The cold wind from outside the Saiwai crossed the lofty mountains in the northwest of Beijing, making the weather in Daming Jingshi enter the early winter season earlier than in previous years.

The defensive battle of Dongjiang Town and the military victory on the grassland of Saibei made Emperor Chongzhen temporarily relieved about the situation in Liaodong, and his attention was temporarily shifted to Guannei and Jingshi.

At present, in the training camp of the New Army in Zhuozhou, which is located less than 100 miles southwest of Beijing, the assessment and selection of the reserve troops of the New Army has been carried out for more than half a month after the completion of the intensive training, and it is also nearing the end at this time.

And the first batch of students of the Emperor Ming Zhongyi Lecture Hall has also reached the time of allocation.

Some nobles and children of official eunuch families, such as Wu Weihua, Chen Gebatu and others, were arranged to serve in the three major battalions of the Beijing Division.

However, some young military attachés recommended by the governors of various provinces, such as Xu Dingguo, Li Weiluan, and others, continued to return to their original places of service and spread the training methods they had learned in the martial arts halls to the battalions and guards in various localities.

There were also some lucky people who were directly appointed by the emperor, and after the graduation parade, they entered the palace and served in the newly established attendant military attache of the Qianqing Palace.

Of course, to put it nicely, these lucky people are here to serve as the emperor's attendants and military attachés, and to put it mildly, they are actually the emperor's imperial guards.

The imperial guards were originally the duties of the Jinyi Guard, but now Emperor Chongzhen knows very well in his heart that no matter at any time, he can't put all his eggs in one basket.

Even if the current commander of the Gong Guard and the front of the palace of the Jinyi Guard are all people personally selected by the emperor and highly trusted, they still have to form mutual restraints in the design of the system to prevent any dangers that may arise in advance.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen took the opportunity to discuss alone with the three ministers of military aircraft and expressed his thoughts.

Completely funded by the internal government, in the east and west compartments of the front yard of the Yangxin Palace outside the Yuehua Gate of the Qianqing Palace, a new small institution was set up, which was called the Imperial Attendant Military Attaché.

Emperor Chongzhen talked about the past and the present to the three ministers of military aircraft, not only talking about Yulinlang in the Han Dynasty, but also talking about Qianniuwei in the Sui and Tang dynasties, etc., and talked about it for more than an hour.

Now, after more than half a year of running-in, the three ministers of military aircraft are very clear about the emperor's temperament, once the emperor personally puts forward an idea and takes the initiative to demonstrate its rationality and necessity to them, then the idea must be the result of careful consideration.

If the emperor put forward the idea at the same time, he attached an implicit concession condition, such as the internal funds to pay, and there was no need for the military aircraft department or the cabinet to prepare a budget, etc., then it means that the emperor has made up his mind to do it.

Moreover, in the recent period, the successive military victories in Dongjiang Town and the Saibei grassland also gave the three military ministers great confidence in the emperor's vision.

So this time, none of the three ministers of military aircraft raised objections, but only made a suggestion, that is, the military attache can only serve as the duty of the imperial guard, and can no longer have other functions.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen agreed, and he didn't think about adding any more institutions or links between the Military Aircraft Department and the Emperor, because in that case, the purpose of setting up the Military Aircraft Department would be frustrated.

Emperor Chongzhen's purpose in setting up the Imperial Attendant Military Attache Office was just to select some of the young military attachés in the martial arts hall today, as well as some outstanding young military attachés in the army in the future, and bring them to his side.

First, I will personally train and train it so that I can reuse it in the future; Second, to increase the loyalty of these people to the emperor and even the imperial family, and further strengthen the emperor's control over the army.

At the same time, it is also necessary to improve the political status of military attachés, after all, the Chinese tradition of the noble and military lowly, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, had reached a very serious point. The estrangement and contradictions between the civil and military became more and more intense, and in the end, it also caused a collective backlash from the military attache class, either flying high and domineering, disobeying the dispatch of the civilian commanders, or disobeying the yang and the yin, but secretly killing many civilian commanders.

If this problem is to be avoided, strong measures must be taken. One is to send the superintendent of the imperial history of the army, so that they can have zero distance contact with the military general class, experience the military career, and improve their military literacy.

The other is to pull some potential young military attaches to the emperor's side in advance, feel and recognize the government affairs above the court up close, and cultivate their overall view.

And the first batch of graduates of the lecture martial arts hall who were hand-picked by Emperor Chongzhen and entered the military attache of the attendants, a total of twelve people, are all fierce generals in the late Ming Dynasty whose names the emperor already knew in later generations, such as Huang Degong.

Now this Emperor Chongzhen, when he was at the opening ceremony of the martial arts hall, went to Tongzhou, and deliberately had lunch with the students of the martial arts hall.

It was just an easy thing for the emperor to do this, and of course he wouldn't take it to heart afterwards, but for a low-level junior officer like Huang Degong in Liaozhen, it was a great honor, and he was always grateful.

Later, Emperor Chongzhen saw a record about Huang Degong, a student of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall, from the strange news of Gyeonggi compiled and reported by Jinyiwei and Dongchang spies, and knew that he took his old mother to Beijing to study in the Lecture Martial Arts Hall.

The next thing, needless to say, Emperor Chongzhen immediately asked Wang Chengen to send someone to Tongzhou, took Huang Degong's old mother Xu into the palace, and entrusted it to the queen Zhou and others to take care of, and usually can also help the concubines take care of the flowers and plants in the imperial garden and a few vegetable plots.

Originally, Xu was a little resistant and uncomfortable at first for being suddenly sent by the emperor to the palace, and reluctantly agreed for the sake of his son's future, but after arriving in the palace, Xu quickly gave full play to his expertise and reflected his own value in helping to take care of the vegetable fields in the back garden, and saw all the concubines in the palace, and treated themselves very kindly and friendly, so he gradually settled down.

After placing the Xu family close to the palace, Emperor Chongzhen not only issued a decree to praise Huang Degong's filial piety to his mother's character, but also asked Xu to personally visit Huang Degong in the lecture hall in Tongzhou.

Knowing that his old mother had been specially cared for by the emperor outside the lecture hall, Huang Degong, who had no worries, was even more grateful to His Majesty the Emperor.

Since then, whether it is practicing long-distance running, training queues, learning muskets and artillery, and practicing archery and archery, he has tried his best every time, lest he fail to live up to the grace of God after falling behind.

Today's Huang Degong was directly selected into the military attache after graduating from the martial arts hall, not far from his old mother Xu, and they can meet every day.

In addition to Huang Degong from Liaodong Town, those who were fortunate enough to serve in the military attache were Liu Zhaoji from Shanhai Town, You Jinghe from Dongjiang Town, and Wu Sangui, Cao Dingjiao, You Yangkun, Hou Gongji, Qi Yuanbi, Liu Tingjie, He Zan, Hu Dawei, and Fierce as a Tiger from Jizhen, Xuanfu Town, Yansui Town, and other places.

Now these people have been passed into the palace, and they have received a special copper pass token from the military attache of the imperial attendant, but they have not yet officially taken up their posts, and they are still under the guidance and training of Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, and they are working hard to learn the various rules of the palace and the Qianqing Palace.

The Yangxin Hall on the west side of the Yuehua Gate of the Qianqing Palace, in later history, eventually replaced the Qianqing Palace and became the daily living place of the Manchu emperors.

Because the palace group where the Yangxin Palace is located is much smaller than the Qianqing Palace, it is not as tall and majestic as the Qianqing Palace, and it does not feel empty and desolate when you live, and it has the human atmosphere of home life.

But the current Yangxin Palace, has never played a major role, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty occasionally used it as a place to study and study, but never lived or stayed here.

Now the front yard of the Heart Cultivation Hall is set up as a place for the military attaché. The east chamber is the official room of the military attaché and the governor, and the west chamber is the rest and lodging place of the military attache of the military attaché.

There is a chief officer in the military attaché's office, and a governor under the commander. This is concurrently held by the eunuch Chu Xianzhang, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison, but at present, Chu Xianzhang has gone to Dongjiang Town to supervise the war and has not yet returned to Beijing. The governor, on the other hand, is rotated by military attachés who serve in the military attaché's office.
