After a little mitsing, Sun Chengzong continued: "The first point is the battle, most of the people in the battle are the domestic slaves of the generals, and there are about a few hundred people in the battle, these people are not soldiers but receive monthly salaries. Not only did it deplete the treasury with money and food, but it also had little combat effectiveness. Another problem is the problem of empty salaries, and the problem of generals making false reports and concealing people is not uncommon in the military. Only by solving these two problems can the army of Jingying become elite. "Sun Chengzong knows a lot about the army, and he is also very insightful at this time.

Seeing that Sun Chengzong said that the head was the Tao, the Emperor of the Apocalypse spoke: "Since Sun Aiqing knows so well, I don't know what Aiqing can do?" ”

Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had made up his mind to do this, Sun Chengzong was naturally overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but say his idea.

"Your Majesty, the problem of the Beijing camp only needs to select a capable official to rectify the Beijing camp, and the Beijing camp will definitely be able to take on a new look."

"I don't know who Aiqing is for?" Since Sun Chengzong said so, the Emperor of the Apocalypse naturally would not object, and asked with a smile.

"The minister recommended Sun Chuanting, the head of the Ministry of Officials, although Sun Chuanting was born as a Jinshi, but he understands military affairs and is loyal to the court, so he can take on a big responsibility." Sun Chengzong immediately said the candidate in his mind, he was not for his own selfish interests, he really thought that Sun Chuanting was a suitable person.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse doesn't know much about Sun Chuanting, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse knows one thing this person does. That is to capture Gao Yingxiang, since this person can catch and kill Gao Yingxiang, there is no problem with his ability. Later, it seems that he also died in battle, so there is no problem in being loyal to himself, such a capable and loyal official, Emperor Tianqi will naturally not let go.

He smiled lightly and said to Sun Chengzong: "Just according to Aiqing's performance, I will make a holy decree tomorrow." ”

In the next few days, two things became the focus of everyone's attention, the first was that the Emperor of the Apocalypse ordered the purge of the Beijing camp. For Jingying, there is nothing that the officials in the world don't know, the elite who once followed King Yan to sweep the quilt has long lost its former demeanor at this time.

When he followed King Yan to sweep the north, there were no troops that could fight face-to-face with the Mongolian iron cavalry and win a big victory. The Beijing camp was weak, not to mention the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, even the troops who dealt with Li Zicheng later, they were all beaten to the ground!

Although Li Zicheng's troops were not a rabble, they were not much worse, and these military households who had taught themselves guerrilla warfare could only deal with the incompetent officers and troops of the Ming Dynasty. Later, Wu Sangui led his troops into the customs, and he reached the capital in more than ten days, giving this man who dreamed of the emperor a resounding slap.

You must know that 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers can deal with 20,000 Wu Sangui's troops in the field, and they can still win. If the combat effectiveness of the troops at this time is ranked, then the first place must be the children of the Eight Banners of Houjin, followed by the Mongolian cavalry. Whether it was Lin Dan Khan, who was defeated by the Later Jin, or the Mongolian Horqin Department who defected to the Later Jin, the combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of the Ming army. In third place should be the troops of Yuan Chonghuan of Liaodong, known as the Guanning Iron Cavalry, which was later Wu Sangui's troops.

In fourth place should be Li Zicheng's troops, this group of rebellious people has more powerful combat effectiveness than the border army of the Ming Dynasty. In fifth place is the Ming Dynasty's Jingying, the army that guards the Beijing Division. Although in the process of suppressing the peasant uprising in the early stage, there were some military achievements, but in the end they were defeated by Li Zicheng, who taught himself guerrilla tactics. The last in line should be the Ming Dynasty's official army, this army is not only understaffed, but also most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, but no matter who they fight, they will collapse at the first touch.

According to this ranking, it can be seen how weak the army of the Ming Dynasty is, although there are more than two million troops in name, but when it comes to fighting, except for the Guanning Iron Cavalry, the others are wine bags and rice bags. Not to mention the arms of other countries in the world at this time, at this time Europe has begun to appear with full firearms. One of them, the Netherlands and Spain, and France followed behind, quickly establishing a firearms unit. And the research on artillery is also very different, at this time the Ming Dynasty was still using red-coated cannons, and the Europeans cannon had already come out,

The gap between the Ming Dynasty and European countries has widened, and then after more than 300 years of delay in the Qing Dynasty, there is too much difference. The gap started at this time, and if there is no external intervention, I am afraid that there is really no power to return to the sky.

These civilian officials have no say in the purge of the Beijing camp, because in history, most of the civilian officials' interference in the affairs of the army was a conspiracy, and those who did so would eventually become the target of public criticism. These civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, although they fought evilly, they looked down on the military attachés. Even if they are allowed to take care of it, many people are disdainful, unless they are going to be overseers, otherwise these literati are afraid of it.

For those military attachés in the army, although they were very frightened, there was nothing they could do. The system of the Ming Dynasty did not leave a chance for the generals to rebel, and even if they had this idea, these people did not have the courage.

What made everyone feel inappropriate was that although the official of this purge was Sun Chuanting, the Emperor of the Apocalypse sent Jinyiwei and Dongchang to intervene, and later learned that these people were obeying Sun Chuanting, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, many people don't understand that the Emperor of the Apocalypse let Jinyiwei and Dongchang participate, mainly to preside over the criminal law and find out the news.

Compared with the purging of the Beijing camp, another thing is a good thing, because the show girl of the Emperor of the Apocalypse has entered Beijing. Every day, there are show girls from all over the city, and countless people want to see it, but they rarely have the opportunity to see it. Even if I saw it, I was wearing a masked scarf, which made it difficult for people to see their faces.

In the words of the eunuchs, Your Majesty hasn't seen it yet! You just want to see it! What do you think?

For the two things that everyone cared about, the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't care at all. For Jingying, you can rest assured that it will be handed over to Sun Chuanting, and after the election, even if the Emperor of the Apocalypse wants to say something, he doesn't say it.

Although these two things were nothing to do with the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the emperor was not idle, because he received Xu Guangqi's recital, and something came out from the firearms factory.

Early in the morning, the Emperor of the Apocalypse took the great eunuch Wei Chao and fifty guards to the Huangzhuang, accompanied by the new Shoufu Cabinet scholar Xu Guangqi.

After coming to Huangzhuang, the Emperor of the Apocalypse slowly walked down the arrogant son, and glanced back at Sun Chengzong, who had just been arrogant, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled slightly. Stretching out his hand and pointing to the Huangzhuang in front of him, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "Sun Aiqing, have you heard of this?" ”
