Chapter 145: Nanjing (33)

At the same time that Liu Ru was chasing Qian Qianyi all over the yard, Mao Xiang and Dong Xiaowan were really involved in the chaos!

Because it was a troublemaker, except for a very small number of officers and men who secretly carried short knives, small axes, daggers, and other short weapons, most of the officers and men were bare-handed.

Those who are secretly in charge of affairs do not dare to make a big deal about it, although several relatives feel that their strength is strong, but they turn the trouble into a mutiny or rebellion...... Those big guys don't have such guts.

"Come down, you walk, you dare to ride on a mule."

The rebels came all the way, obviously robbing a lot of things, and they were all elated. Someone was carrying several pieces of cloth with distinct blood marks on them, and when they snatched them, they must have taken a lot of effort.

Some soldiers carry chickens in their hands, dogs, or bacon or something in their homes, garlic vegetables, or even pots, bowls, chopsticks, or something, and they never let go.

Such a large number of rebels came, and the people along the way were completely affected.

Mao Xiang saw it from afar, and he was about to dodge, but it was too late, a small group of chaotic soldiers had already rushed forward, all with ill intentions in their eyes, looking up and down at this small group of teams, pushing and pushing Mao Xiang and his party into the corner of the roadside.

Riots and troubles, and Mao Xiang has also heard of it many times recently. Gao Jie was in Xuzhou, Liu Zeqing was in Huai'an, and Liu Liangzuo's troops, the military discipline was very bad, of course, Zuo Liangyu's method of leading the troops, that is, arsoning the troops into bandits, and even allowing robbery to improve morale.

It's just that I've heard this kind of thing a lot, but it's the first time I've experienced it.

Seeing the rebels like this, Mao Xiang reluctantly suppressed the panic in his heart, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't mess around, I am a staff member next to the University Scholar Shi Pavilion Department!" ”

He was originally dressed as a student and had an outstanding temperament, but when he said this, the rebels also believed it.

If the rebels had just come out of the barracks, with the warning of the superiors, and they had not become bold, I am afraid that as soon as Mao Xiang revealed his identity, the soldiers would go around him.

But at this time, I ran so far, grabbed and fought along the way, and touched a lot of beautiful young girls, and those old habits when I was under Liu Zeqing came up again.

A few months ago, it was said that it was such a scene, even if it was a whole village slaughtering a village, it was not like you had never done it!

When Zhu Cihong first swallowed this army, he deliberately killed many junior officers and soldiers who were too evil, but Liu Zeqing's method of leading the troops was the same as all the generals at that time, that is, arson and plundering to improve morale and consolidate the loyalty of the sergeants!

The big thing is that the top is carrying it for these soldiers!

Otherwise, who will die in place of him?

Therefore, there are not many people in the entire army who have not done anything bad. And the elite private soldiers around these generals are really good at killing people and setting fires...... The army of the Ming Dynasty was registered with 3 million at its peak, and now there are even 2 million small provincial defense armies, but it is really unique in a hundred that can really restrain the troops with discipline, improve morale with honor, and support soldiers with military salaries...... A while ago, the military discipline was not good, Zhu Cihong deliberately suppressed it, and strictly ordered the generals to punish the sergeants who violated the prohibition and discipline, beheaded more than a dozen, and whipped the cane for fear of more than 100.

These 5,000 sergeants are really the essence of the embers of a hundred battles, and Zhu Cihong is very unwilling to waste them.

Now it seems that once the soldiers have indulged, it is really too difficult to re-strangle!

Evil thoughts together, it is difficult to suppress them...... Mao Xiang was gorgeously dressed, everyone had already stared at the package behind him with the squad leader, and someone had already lifted the sedan curtain with their hands, and when they bit their lips and didn't dare to make a sound, and the stunning beauty with a clear face showed her face, even Mao Xiang knew that she was afraid that a catastrophe was coming.................. In the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, at this time, the lights were still bright.

Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong and two governors, five or six governors of Tongzhi and governors, took turns on duty, and sat opposite each other in the lobby.

said that he was on duty, but everyone was not wearing military attache robes, but armor on their bodies, even Zhao Zhilong was wearing a brocade armor, with a family heirloom sword, sitting on the main seat in the middle of the festival, according to the sword, and the military affairs office, cabinet, and military department, the Governor's Mansion must also have ministers on duty at night. At present, the Governor's Office has two ministers in charge of government affairs, five or six governors on rotation, and more than 800 officers and soldiers in the garrison of the Governor's garrison directly under the armed forces.

The garrison in Nanjing has been ordered to be abolished, the defense in the palace is the guard, and the forbidden army in Beijing is temporarily directly under the governor's office of the five armies...... Everyone knows that when the time comes, the crown prince will start to reform the Beijing camp system, and he will still use the battalion system to reform the Beijing camp system, just like the guard office and the generalissimo's palace.

This is not good news for the few lords and relatives who are entrenched in the Beijing camp.

First of all, the army will definitely be cleared, and after the list is removed, how many people are left in the Beijing camp, I'm afraid they don't even know themselves.

The Yingjiang River and Jingying were originally the barriers of Nanjing's defense, and they were also the armed forces that had been in the hands of the lords for a hundred years. After so many years, I can't remember the list clearly, and this will give an order to re-establish the camp system, and appoint and remove all the generals to the military department, although I heard that in the future, civil ministers or eunuchs will no longer be sent to supervise the army...... But what's the matter with Lao Tzu?

What you want is to be ambiguous, what you want is to be in power, Jingying is still the world of a few lords!

Zhao Zhilong sat still with a murderous face, and the governors below were all like clay sculptures and wood carvings, and they didn't dare to move...... Who knows what kind of madness Xin Chengbo is going to make today?

It's just that everyone's buttocks are twisting and turning later, and although they don't dare to get up, no one can settle in their seats and don't move.

There were already bursts of shouts outside, like a landslide and tsunami, and when I heard it, everyone changed color. There is no noise pollution at this time, and it is a few miles away, and at this time of the night, how can you not hear the movement? At this hour, there is also a foreigner's clock here in the Governor's Mansion, look at it has passed eight o'clock, and the ordinary people have blown out the lamp and gone to bed, and now they have fallen asleep a lot...... Before the change, Uncle Xin Cheng didn't have the reason to work hard in the Governor's Mansion, and he had already returned to the Governor's Mansion, the small drama troupe at home, the husband of the family, and more than ten or twenty concubines of the right age...... Which one is enough to attract ah, it doesn't make sense that this kung fu is still sitting on a cold bench in this governor's mansion!

Hearing the movement at this time, everyone suddenly realized: This is what Uncle Dare is waiting for?

"Uncle, it seems that there is a camp?"

The guard of the Governor's Mansion is a direct subordinate of the commander of the Jingwei, so he naturally wants to stand up by himself, bow down, and ask: "Is it the last general to take someone out to have a look?" ”

"What's the hurry?" Zhao Zhilong laughed cruelly and shouted: "The situation is unknown, in case the thieves come to attack the Governor's Mansion, rob the seal letter, and cut off the communication between China and foreign countries, you take this responsibility?" ”

"Yes, it's the last general Meng Lang." A big hat like a mountain pressed over, and the commander who pressed it was sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to say anything at the moment, so he kowtowed on the ground, and quietly retreated.

"I'll wait!" Zhao Zhilong looked smug and said with a smile: "There is also the cabinet and the military affairs department above, and we have a lot of mothers-in-law on top of our heads now." The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has long been inferior to the Ministry of War, what are we going to do here? If there is a decree, just obey it. ”

These words were still in the sense of reason, and everyone present was convinced, and they all stood up and bowed down at the moment, and agreed again and again.

Zhao Zhilong just drank tea with his face sideways, but he was very happy in his heart.

This turmoil, of course, is what he and Liu Kongzhao meant, and the generals of Liu Zeqing's subordinates brought by the prince also contributed a lot. Of course, among them are some people from the Donglin Party who thread the needle and pull the thread.

Liu Zeqing's department was originally the force of the Restoration Society, and many of the generals had endless contacts with the Donglin Restoration Society, and after entering Nanjing, it was much more convenient to collude with each other.

Of course, the chaos in front of him is not to rebel, but just to take advantage of such a chaos, everyone is taking millet from the fire and taking what they need.

"Generalissimo? Hehe, in this military turmoil, I'll give you a faceless generalissimo first! ”

………… Zhu Cihong was in the palace in the evening.

Because of Chongzhen's trust and the support of a group of ministers, whether it was his appearance on the stage to worship the commander, or the various preparations for the expedition were all done very smoothly.

Now outside the Hongwu Gate, is a large general platform that has been almost completed, the prince will change the generalissimo crown uniform here, receive the seal letter, openly show the world, from now on, the crown prince is the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and the emperor and the generalissimo have the right to know and deal with military affairs.

Although the authority is still a bit unclear now, it is conceivable that in the future, whether it is the Cabinet or the Military Affairs Department, or the Governor's Office and the Military Department, they will all be under the Generalissimo's Office, and there is no doubt about this layer.

With this layer of names, he annexed all the soldiers and horses of the four towns in Jiangbei, integrated the strength of the towns, cut the old and the weak, and strengthened the elite soldiers, as well as a complete set of training plans, which can be calmly deployed.

Under his command, there are already Liu Zeqing and Liu Konghe, as well as the soldiers and horses of Huai'an Fubiao and Huaiyang Town, and the six rates directly under the six rates plus the 5,000 strong soldiers looted as the backbone, forming an elite force of about 30,000 people, with more than 10,000 mules and horses...... In this way, combat effectiveness can be formed very quickly, and the mobile force is very strong!

He has money, military salaries, and experience in military training, and he is not worried that he will not be able to train a strong army that stresses military discipline and has combat effectiveness.

If the plan can be successfully implemented, and then solve Gao Jie's troubles, Shandong will face a partial division of Bel Abatai in the future, with the entire team not exceeding 10,000 people, and many Han troops without combat effectiveness.

For a long time, the Qing army had no intention of directly attacking northern Jiangsu and Huaibei, and even when the Xuzhou garrison was about to surrender, the Qing army in Shandong was a little reluctant to agree...... The difference in strength is too great!

If Zhu Cihong had such an elite army that quickly became a division and had a large number of mules and horses, how much could he do!

At least, in 1645, when Duoduo turned to Henan, he was sure to change the tide of the war in China!
