Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in Nanjing, since he received the report of the Ganning New Army asking for reinforcements to break through, put all his heart on the Ganning New Army, praying that the Ganning New Army could break through successfully!

After all, the Ganning New Army pinned on the hope of Emperor Chongzhen's counterattack on the Tiger and Leopard Army, and it was formed by investing millions of taels of silver and hundreds of thousands of loads of grain before and after. If it is wiped out by the Tiger and Leopard Army like this, then the investment in the early stage and the hope pinned on the Ganning New Army will all be wiped out......

The hard work pays off, and all the waiting for Chongzhen is worth it.

On the tenth day after he received the breakout report, an eight-hundred-mile expedited from Sichuan was sent directly to the court.

When the Ganning New Army successfully broke through and once again wiped out the results of the 2,000 Tiger and Leopard Army, it was completely spread in the court.

Chongzhen, who had been worried for several days, finally showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.

At this time, some ministers who were very good at sycophants did not let go of this opportunity to compliment Chongzhen.

Hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly to Chongzhen: "Congratulations, congratulations...... The ministers believe that as long as Your Majesty is here, Daming will get Zhongxing in a short time...... Long live the Majesty xià ......"

The minister's compliment made the smile on Emperor Chongzhen's face directly become more intense......

is in a good mood, and the more he looks at the newspaper in his hand, the happier he becomes.

Especially when he learned that Zhang Zhongming, the governor of Ganning, not only successfully broke through the siege and eliminated the elite of the 2,000 Tiger and Leopard Army, but also successfully brought out the elite of the 20,000 Ganning New Army, the smile on his face became even stronger.

Because. The 20,000 Ganning New Army successfully broke through. It directly means that the number of new troops under his command will exceed 120,000......

In Chongzhen's opinion. The greater the number of new troops under his command, the higher the success rate of counterattacking the Haw Par Army and recapturing the northern provinces from the Haw Par Army in the future.

Therefore, Chongzhen, who was in a good mood, decided the final belonging of the Ganning New Army in just an instant......

In order to prevent his ministers from reacting, they all took the fat of the Ganning New Army and split and buried the elite they had so hard to get. Emperor Chongzhen directly decided in an unnegotiable tone...... "The new army of Ganning has successfully broken through. and wiped out 2,000 elite tigers and leopards...... Zhang Zhongming, the governor of Ganning, made great contributions...... I decided to crown the Governor of Ganning, Zhang Zhongming, with the title of Secretary of the Military Department...... All the generals and non-commissioned officers of the Ganning New Army were promoted to one level and merged into the Imperial New Army, under the command of me personally...... Of course, Zhang Zhongming, the governor of Ganning, is still the commander of the 20,000 new army of Ganning, and he only listens to my dispatch......"

In addition, Qingchuan County, Sichuan Province was assigned to the two provinces of Gansu and Ningxia, and was temporarily used as the garrison of the Ganning New Army...... All 20,000 new troops from Gansu and Ningbo were stationed here for training and training, and they were ready to counterattack the two provinces at any time. Defeat the Haw Par Army......"

"All the food and salary consumption of the 20,000 soldiers of the Ganning New Army is in accordance with the standards of the New Army. It was supplied by the imperial court in a unified manner, and no yamen could deduct it...... If I find out that someone dares to manipulate the salaries of the new army, I don't mind killing people to make a decision......."

Emperor Chongzhen's sudden decision can be said to have caught everyone off guard.

The minister, who was still thinking about it just now, was ready to get some interest from Gan Ning's new army, and was directly stunned by Chongzhen......

Of course, the ministers, who were accustomed to opposing the emperor as loyal ministers, did not intend to give up such a large piece of fat as the Ganning New Army.

However, this is only one part. There is also a very important reason, and it is related to their net worth.

That is the strength, the strength of Emperor Chongzhen.

With 100,000 new army elites in hand, Emperor Chongzhen was so strong that he could not listen to the minister's advice. If the number of new troops in Emperor Chongzhen's hands continues to swell, then Emperor Chongzhen will be so strong from time to time that he can kill people casually.

As a minister, whether it is a clean official or a corrupt official, he doesn't want to see Emperor Chongzhen being too strong and not taking them as ministers.

Therefore, as soon as Chongzhen's decision was exported, a minister stood up and retorted: "Your Majesty, please ask the old minister to say bluntly, merging the Ganning New Army into the New Army of the Imperial Court can indeed increase the military strength of the Imperial Court...... But in this way, the millions of taels of silver that the imperial court can easily save every year will all be invested in the 20,000 Ganning new army......"

"At that time, once something happens to the imperial court, it will once again fall into the embarrassing situation of having no money to use...... Therefore, the old minister asked His Majesty to think twice, for the sake of the future of the imperial court, I felt that I could not increase the food and salary of the new army in Ganning......"

The emperor's career for several years in a row, although Chongzhen suffered setbacks. However, through these setbacks, Chongzhen also understands a truth, that is, the importance of military strength to himself......

As long as you have a strong enough military strength in your hands, whether it is the Tiger and Leopard Army, the Houjin Tartars, or these powerful ministers in the court...... Don't dare to underestimate yourself.

After moving the capital to Nanjing, his position in the imperial court became more and more stable, and he was no longer restricted by ministers...... One of the most critical factors is that he has 100,000 new imperial army in his hands......

Therefore, whether it is to counterattack the Tiger and Leopard Army in the future, or to further consolidate his position in the court. For the 20,000 elites of the Ganning New Army trained by Zhang Zhongming, Emperor Chongzhen is bound to win......

Therefore, as soon as the minister's objection came out, Chongzhen retorted sharply: "Shut up...... Let me ask you, with the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, is there anything more important than the army and the war......"

"If the imperial court does not take advantage of the fact that there is money now, it will expand its army in a big way...... When the Haw Par Army comes over in the future, what will we use to stop the Haw Par Army, will we use the millions of taels of silver that the imperial court has worked so hard to accumulate!

"Alright, I've decided on this matter! If there is any further opposition, the crime of resisting the decree shall be questioned......"

Just when the ministers, with a wry smile on their faces, had to accept this fact.

An urgent secret report from Jinyiwei was sent to Emperor Chongzhen again.

Under the gaze of dozens of ministers, Chongzhen's facial expression was still full of murderous aura just now. After reading the secret report, he immediately became solemn.

In the face of this sudden change, the minister, who did not know the specific situation, could only stand where he was and say nothing.

For a while, the atmosphere of the main hall, which was still lively and solemn just now, immediately became gloomy and cold.

I don't know how long it took, but Emperor Chongzhen, with a dignified face, with a face full of grievances, slapped the secret report in his hand on the case of the reluctant dragon. After taking a deep breath, he sat on the dragon chair and scolded loudly regardless of his identity......

"The Haw Par Army deceives people too much...... He Wei Zheng still doesn't take me seriously...... I don't think I should have named him the ...... of the Northern King" (to be continued......
