The training continued, and Wu Ming, who was intimidated by Cao Yue and punished on the spot, was angry in his heart, and was planning to sue Cao Yue for the royal warrant, preparing to beat Cao Yue into a catastrophe in one fell swoop, but in the next time, he did not dare to confront Cao Yue in person, for fear that if he really annoyed Cao Yue and was cut off by the Shang Fang Sword in Cao Yue's hand, it would be over.

Wu Ming is a person who can bend and stretch, he can endure it for a while, put aside the humiliation he received this time temporarily, and in the later training, he is quite cooperative with Cao Yue.

Although Cao Yue was young, he also knew that Wu Ming could not obey him like this, and Zhao Tai's reminder made him clear about the nature of his deputy, and he guessed in his heart that Wu Ming was probably planning some revenge means, so he also sent people to closely monitor Wu Ming and the others' every move.

Cao Yue's understanding of the war is more proficient than the people of this era, he dares to think what others dare not think, and he is ready to select a group of soldiers from these 50,000 people to form a special force.

During the Ming Dynasty, although there were no vehicles and killing weapons with cutting-edge technology in later generations, special operations could be started in another way. As long as the training is proper and the personnel selection is good, Cao Yue is confident that the special forces formed will be able to achieve miraculous results during operations. It's just that the training of recruits has just begun, and it is not realistic to select sergeants suitable for special operations from these newly recruited recruits, and Cao Yue plans to officially do this work after a while.

However, he is already preparing for this, and has selected some personnel who have performed well in all aspects for secret training.

In addition, his own Jiading unit has also begun high-intensity special training, and Cao Yue is ready to train his own guards, that is, the Jiading army, into a terrifying special force.

One of the subjects they trained was to monitor the every move of these generals sent by the imperial court, including Wu Ming, Gao Gao, Zhu Yang and others in the military camp. Cao Yue didn't want to be stabbed by the people around him and ruin his hard work.

The training of recruits continues.

Cao Yue did a lot of things to strengthen military discipline, and also let those cronies cooperate with him to act in a lot of dramas.

The following day, Zhao Tai, the deputy commander-in-chief, was ordered by Cao Yue to be dealt with in accordance with military law because he trampled on the wheat planted by the people when he was leading the troops for training. Zhao Tai paid out of his own pocket to compensate for the losses of the people, and after replanting the wheat, he was also punished with ten military sticks.

Cao Yue's most trusted figure, the head of the original family Ding army, and now Cao Jie, the general of the first battalion of the Datong Army, was fined three months' military salary for drinking in the barracks without permission, and then fined five miles of cross-country running with a load.

Cao Neng was punished with a cane and a five-army stick because the third battalion under his command did not complete the established training subjects.

The punishments of high-ranking officers were reported throughout the army, and Cao Yue did not follow personal feelings and punished his cronies mercilessly, which surprised many people. This also eliminated the dissatisfaction of Gao Gao, Zhu Yang and others to a certain extent, they no longer thought that Cao Yue was deliberately targeting them, but really made many punishment measures in order to strictly enforce military discipline.

Because of the punishment of Wu Ming, and because Cao Yue punished his cronies and subordinates for not following personal feelings, coupled with the role of the military discipline supervision team, the disciplinary regulations were effectively enforced in the army. Under Cao Yue's personal interrogation, no one in the army had the courage to blatantly violate military discipline, whether it was a senior general, a middle-level officer, or a sergeant who had just been recruited, they all accepted the military rules formulated by Cao Yue with a sincere and fearful attitude, and tried to avoid touching the red line themselves to avoid being punished.

In Cao Yue's view, the ancient people were better fooled, they were generally not highly educated, and they had a deep fear of imperial power, and their requirements for life were not high.

Of course, Cao Yue knew that today's orders and prohibitions were only superficial, and when it came to war, no one knew whether the sergeants could strictly follow the orders to advance and retreat. But now that the sergeants are acting according to military orders, as long as this situation continues, these newly recruited recruits will eventually become elite soldiers under the exemplary role of the officers.

What Cao Yue hopes most now is that there will be no war in the near future, and it is best not to have a large-scale war in a year or two, so that he will have enough time to train his sergeants and build a large number of weapons.

If he can be given a year or two to train his troops, he can train these 50,000 people into an army that is good in all aspects, and then through the baptism of actual combat, the elite army can finally be achieved.

It's a pity that this is just Cao Yue's wishful thinking, and many people will not give him this opportunity.

********

Liaodong, Shengjing.

The mess of Shengjing City, which was destroyed by Cao Yue, is no longer as bad as when the Jiannu army just withdrew.

The city has been cleaned up on a large scale, rubble, coke, corpses and other garbage have basically been removed, the destroyed and burned out houses, city walls, city gates are being repaired in a hurry, inside and outside the city, busy slaves and maids and bannermen can be seen everywhere. Except for those on duty in armaments, everyone else had to participate in the reconstruction of Shengjing City.

The population of Jiannu was too small, and before and after Cao Yue led the army to break through Shengjing and destroy the city, many slaves who heard the news fled, especially the Han people who were captured by Jiannu, and nearly half of them fled. The labor force is small, and even the Eight Banners have to participate in the labor of rebuilding Shengjing.

What Dolgon and others hope is that when the heavy snow falls in Liaodong, they can give the royal family a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so that they will not hide in the tent and be blown by the cold wind in the cold winter.

The destroyed imperial palace is also being repaired at an accelerated pace, which is a symbol of the Qing Dynasty, and it will be restored no matter what.

Of course, the major city gates that have been repaired the fastest have begun to take shape on a defensive scale. This is the most important barrier against foreign enemies, and today's Jiannu can no longer live the same life as before, and they have learned a lot from the Han people, including putting the old, weak, sick and disabled of their own people who have little resistance to foreign enemies within a strong city wall.

The reconstruction of Shengjing is underway, the situation in the Qing Dynasty is basically stable, and the tribes that have submitted to the Qing Dynasty have not made any major moves, and the heart of Dolgon, who has faintly become the most powerful person in the Qing Dynasty, is basically put back in his stomach.

In the struggle for power, Hauge was clearly at a disadvantage, and Dorgon's authority was growing, and he felt a sense of accomplishment. The throne was one step away from him, and Dorgon became ambitious. However, the crisis of the Qing Dynasty has not passed, because the grain and grass hoarded in Shengjing have basically been destroyed, and most of the property has been plundered, and this winter, the subjects of the Qing Dynasty will live a very bleak and miserable life.

Naturally, Dorgon didn't want to see such an embarrassing situation, and he was trying to find a way to solve it.

Leading the army south, attacking the Ming military town and plundering property, this is the quickest and most realistic way to solve the current predicament. But Dolgon also knew that now that the Ming army's defense line on the front line of Songshan and Jinzhou had been stabilized, Hong Chengchou was not in a hurry to deploy the defense, and even if the Qing army moved south quickly, it would be very difficult to attack, and it was likely to lose troops.

But Dolgon was not willing to spend the winter so peacefully, so that the children of the Eight Banners could have an embarrassing year. While he was meditating, Dorgon ran in like a gust of wind from outside, carrying a cold wind that almost sent Dolgon shivers.

"Fourteenth brother, according to what we have inquired about, Cao Yue was appointed by Chongzhen as the chief soldier of Datong and went to guard Datong!"

"Oh?!" Dorgon groaned, raising an eyebrow.

"Brother Chen heard that the Datong army of the Southern Ming Dynasty was almost completely lost in the Battle of Songshan, and Datong was only guarded by a few thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people," Duoduo's eyes were shining, and he pleaded very firmly: "Therefore, Brother Chen asked Brother Fourteen to give me a strong army, I will definitely be able to destroy Datong City, capture Cao Yuesheng back to Shengjing, and sacrifice his head to the emperor!"

Dorgon's request instantly moved Dorgon's heart!
