Chongzhen's face was very ugly from time to time, he really never thought that the commander of the Beijing camp, who he had single-handedly promoted and reused, didn't even think much about it, and rejected his idea of sending troops at all.

According to Qiu Yuanyi, it will take at least half a year for his Beijing battalion soldiers to appear on the battlefield in Henan, and judging from the current situation, maybe at that time, the Pingyu army will all hit the city of Beijing "Spread Wings and Watermark"!

There were 60,000 people in Beijing, and the rated military salary was 2.4 million a year, and the average income of Ma Bujun exceeded three taels, and if it was calculated by using the silver dollars issued by Tai Luzi in Qingjiang, it would be even more.

Originally, the forehead of the Beijing camp was not counted in the true color, just the folded color was 1.2 million, compared with the other towns is already very generous, like the 30,000 people of Huang Degong, the annual fixed color is 200,000, the folded color is 400,000, the Beijing camp is twice as much as the Yellow Camp, but the military salary is full of three times.

The quota can be reported, and the emperor waved his pen and flipped it again.

The folded color is 2.4 million, and this number raises 60,000 soldiers, which is no different from Liaozhen back then, or even higher.

If it weren't for the estimated annual income of more than 20 million, the household department would be reluctant to pay such a sum of money!

But when you think about it, you can understand the emperor's painstaking efforts.

Qiu Yuanyi is the general who can lead and train troops in front of the emperor now, and Chang Yanling, the Marquis of Huaiyuan, is also very powerful.

Now the local garrison battalion is still being formed, and the emperor is directly in control, and the reliable armament is the Beijing battalion in front of him.

The local military town, Chongzhen no longer trusts in his heart.

As soon as Buke opened his mouth, it was a soft nail that came back, and Chongzhen felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

"So, what do you mean, can you fight?"

Chongzhen's tone is already not good, a huge amount of money has been invested, and a large number of items are given priority to the Beijing camp, and even the two towns of Gongsheng and Yulin are far from this treatment, and they have not been able to form an army to fight, and they should be dissatisfied.

"It's going to have to be two or three more ears."

"Got it."

The emperor only replied three words briefly, Qiu Yuanyi was still stunned, and Liu Wenbing, who was on the side, had already knelt down at the right time, took Qiu Yuanyi to salute at the same time, and bowed and withdrew.

When he arrived outside the hall, Liu Wenbing shook his head and said: "The chief military officer's performance today is very unpleasant, please wait for the time being, I will go in and see if there is any future." ”

"Yes, there is Lord Lao Shaofu."

Qiu Yuanyi was very calm, and he didn't have any expression of fear. Anyway, things have been done, whether it is good or bad, that's it, and there is no regret medicine to take in the world.

Even if he did, he didn't plan to change his decision. Whether Jingying can be used or not, of course, is not as he said, but now is by no means the time to go north with great fanfare.

There is no shortage of salaries and weapons in the Beijing camp, but the local government can meet about 40 percent at most, and when the spring of the next year is opened, the materials are all assembled, and the local military towns are also trained and reorganized, and the combat strength is strengthened, and then the strategic decisive battle between Shanghe and Dongyu will be discussed.

At this time, the emperor is too anxious, and those courtiers who are in a hurry to cause chaos and share the merits also account for a large part of the reason, but in any case, Qiu Yuanyi will never give in.

Even if it is a dismissal and resignation, it is just that. Although he used to be only a small Tianjin general, Tianjin is very close to Beijing, and Beijing has seen a lot of "wings and watermarks" in the past ten years.

Yesterday was a high horse, today he will be a prisoner, such an example is too common in the seventeen years of Emperor Chongzhen's reign, the emperor is too anxious and too impatient, to be honest, there is no real "wings and watermark" real emotion.

Yesterday I was still Aiqing Nengchen, and today there are a lot of things that call you an iron lock.

The emperor once complained that his ministers were disloyal, and to be honest, it was really difficult to be loyal to the previous emperor.

The monarch treats the ministers with the countrymen, and the ministers repay the monarch with the countrymen.

This truth seems to have never been understood in Chongzhen's seventeen years of rule.

"But now the emperor seems to have changed a lot." While waiting, Qiu Yuanyi was also bored thinking.

It's sunset, the afterglow of the sun drags a long oblique shadow in the huge palace complex, and all the guards are still waiting to be handed over, but the summons here are not over, and the guards can only stay honestly.

Everyone looked at this side with curious eyes, not knowing what happened to Qiu Yuanyi here, seeing these younger little brothers, Qiu Yuanyi also smiled bitterly.

These guards, who were ridiculed by people outside, said that they were the children of Liang, and they couldn't afford to defend the palace and the emperor at all.

However, Qiu Yuanyi knew that the ministers of the guard department were strict and the assessment was tight, and the guards were already very presentable. And he is not full of prejudice against the children of the family like ordinary people, yes, if there is no strict restraint, these gentlemen will harm the people one by one stronger than the other, they can't do the right thing, and the crooked ways must be a good hand.

But if there are strict constraints, these people are on the right path, but they also have the knowledge, knowledge, and wisdom that the children of ordinary people do not have, as well as those endless cleverness. After all, I grew up in a privileged environment, and many things have been deeply rooted in my bones, and there is no need to teach, there are some things that these guards fully understand by themselves.

It's a pity that Qiu Yuanyi originally planned to pick a group of guards who went to take it personally, but he has eaten military rations for more than ten years, from a thousand generals all the way to Zuodudu, and fought in the area of Jizhen, and the battle of Tianjin was even more tested, and he has been training troops since he arrived in Nanjing, and he can be regarded as a more experienced general.

If he didn't fight against the emperor, in fact, he also wanted to command the army next year, go north to destroy slaves, and reopen peace for the world.

"The emperor's will," a voice came suddenly, Qiu Yuanyi was taken aback, and immediately turned his head, but Liu Wenbing hurried back again: "Qiu Yuanyi stepped up his training to prepare for the call, and gave a python robe, a jade belt, and a table and a lily to reward his merits, and admire this!" ”

"Thank God."

"Get up!" Liu Wenbing didn't have a smile on his face, and after calling Qiu Yuan to come together, he said with a solemn look on his face: "General Qiu, you really have to step up your military training!" ”

When he entered the hall, he saw Chongzhen pacing back and forth in the hall with his back, and his eyebrows were wrinkled, Liu Wenbing was Chongzhen's brother-in-law, and he knew the emperor's temper very well.

Whenever this happens, including him, all the inner eunuchs and Xun Qi are terrified, and those who can hide will hide, and those who can't hide will also kneel down tremblingly, and only dare to speak out when Chongzhen's anger has passed.

Seeing this today, Liu Wenbing knew that it was going to be bad, but he still didn't say a word and didn't dare to persuade him. However, Chongzhen turned around and circled, and his expression gradually became cold, and finally he flicked the sleeves of his robe, according to what Liu Wenbing said, and then turned around and went back to the inner court.

With Liu Wenbing's understanding of Chongzhen, this is to leave a knot. If you are angry and condemn the crime just now, it will be easy to explain it in the future, and at this time you suddenly calm down and reward it, that is Chongzhen reluctantly tolerated it after weighing the pros and cons.

First, the emperor thought that he had been criticized for being too quick and too harsh, and now he was categorically dealing with a general like Qiu Yuanyi, which would definitely cause an uproar, and the political situation that had just been stabilized would definitely be unstable because of this matter, so that the gains outweighed the losses.

Second, at present, the general who trains and commands troops in Nanjing's "Spreading Wings and Watermark" city has a reliable overall situation and sufficient ability, that is, this Qiu is a person.

Of course, whether it is loyal to the emperor or loyal to the prince, these are two words.

But for now, reassurance is the best policy.

asked Renjun to appease the generals treated by Duan, and Liu Wenbing's worries could naturally be understood. Such a general, I'm afraid the end may not be good.

"The Beijing camp has become a strong soldier, there are certain rules, and the kindness of the young man is understood by the general."

"Hey, you know for yourself!"

At this point, there is no need to say anything more, Liu Wenbing is very busy, the palace ban is now to be cleared and inspected, the guards have to be handed over, and he, the former minister, is also responsible for the guards, so he just waved his hand at Liu Wenbing, and left in a hurry.

Under the setting sun, only Qiu Weiyi walked slowly towards the outside of the palace, and behind him, there was a back composed of tall palace buildings, and these projections pressed on his body, as cold and heavy as the powerful pressure in his heart now.

This royal atmosphere, majestic and towering, has no human breath, only the suppression of ordinary people by supreme power.

If it weren't for his strong beliefs, it would be hard for Qiu Yuanyi to imagine how he would have persevered in front of the emperor.

Recalling that when he commented on the Battle of Songshan, he said that Hong Chengchou was too soft and couldn't withstand the pressure from the rear.

"I hope that the new army of Tai Luzi will be completed as soon as possible!"

According to the agreement, when Jingying went north, there were several prerequisites. The first is that Nanjing should be stable, the political system should be stable, and the people's minds should be clear, and the second is that there is nothing to do upstream, Zuo Liangyu will obey the reorganization, or the defense along the Jiujiang River in Anqing will be enriched. Third, the defense line of various localities is stable, and the local suspension system is reorganized.

The most important thing, of course, is that when all the troops have been trained, and in terms of equipment and morale, they can fight with the main force of the Qing army, at that time, it is the real time to go north.

"When the prince knew about it, he didn't know what he thought?"

Recalling the happiness when he and the crown prince could get along day and night and discuss military affairs, Qiu Yuanyi was also very emotional.

He is an atmospheric and delicate person, although he has a lot of relationship with the prince, but when he was in Beijing, he cut off contact with the prince, whether it was a letter or a letter to bring a message, it was all put to an end.

Now it is obvious that the emperor and the prince have reached the point where the monarch and the minister are suspicious of each other, and the father and son are suspicious.

The emperor did not want to steal merit, and there would be no summons today.

And how will the prince's side respond, and whether the good news again and again can solve the inevitable knot between father and son? At this level, Qiu Yuanyi was very dazed, and he had no way of knowing!
