Solve the problems caused by yourself by yourself, if you can't even do this, then there is really no need for you to continue to stand in this court.

Under the simultaneous gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, Zhou Shuyuan immediately fell into deep thought.

didn't let everyone wait too long, Zhou Shuyuan tentatively said: "Your Majesty, the matter of arranging and training group training has been fully launched in Jiangnan, and in order to ensure the stability of Jiangnan, we can only continue to do it......"

"The minister's idea is that since these regimental exercises are scattered, they will not have any impact on the Haw Par Army, and they will be easily broken by the Haw Par Army...... Then we will concentrate these regimental training and form a reserve force of the new army to replenish the losses of the new army on the battlefield at any time. ”

"If we don't go in to love, we can still send these regimental exercises to the battlefield for training at critical moments...... Today's Haw Par Army has become a pure firearms unit, and without ammunition, the combat effectiveness of these units is even 30% of that in peacetime. Even if these regimental training can't compete with the Haw Par Army on the frontal battlefield, at least they can consume a lot of ammunition on the battlefield......"

After listening to Zhou Shuyuan's analysis, a word immediately appeared in the minds of all the ministers in the court, that is: "cannon fodder ......"

These ministers are not wrong at all, Zhou Shuyuan has the intention of sending these regimental exercises to the battlefield as cannon fodder......

In Zhou Shuyuan's view, these regimental exercises were all set up by the landlords and gentry themselves, and the court did not spend a tael of silver, even if all of them died, the court would not be heartbroken.

In this case, instead of letting them be broken by the Tiger and Leopard Army, it is pointless to be wiped out.

It is better to concentrate on the frontal battlefield and assist the new army of the imperial court to consume some ammunition of the Tiger and Leopard Army on the battlefield. Alleviate the frontal combat pressure of the new army of the imperial court.

These people standing in the court. Regardless of whether you really have the court in your heart or not. Be able to stand in this position. can be called the essence of the human spirit.

After Zhou Shuyuan's thoughts were spoken, it didn't take long for them to understand the mystery.

On the surface, the expressions on their faces did not change at all, and they were all waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to speak. In fact, in their hearts, they couldn't help but give Zhou Shuyuan a thumbs up. Because, this ploy is not only vicious, but also full of temptation for Emperor Chongzhen.

Really. It didn't take long for Chongzhen to think about the huge benefits that this idea might bring to him......

After a short period of contemplation, he directly asked the military department Shangshu in front of him: "In the entire territory of Jiangnan, how many ...... total number of troops are there in the regimental training?"

"Not less than 100,000 people...... After obtaining the permission of the imperial court, in order to protect their family property, the landlords and gentry in Jiangnan began to expand the scale of their group training! The military department did not dare to slack off, and quickly replied.

Hearing this, Huang Taiji's eyes lit up, and he decisively decided: "On the current Yangtze River defense line, every thousand new troops. I sent 500 old troops to assist and cooperate with them to hold their positions...... Since there are still so many regimental exercises that have no place to put them, then send them all to the front line...... The same number of regimental exercises were sent for every 1,000 recruits. and obey the command of the officers of the Forces nouvelles......"

In the south of the Yangtze River, in addition to the large-scale regimental training organized by the landlords and gentry themselves, there were 60,000 new troops left in the imperial court.

Now, there is no regimental training, and if we can continue to ensure the stability of Jiangnan, it will be a new army of 60,000 that will be formed in less than a few months.

On the surface, the Forces nouvelles have a large number of troops, numbering more than 60,000 men.

However, after being divided into dozens or hundreds of county seats. The number of defensive troops that can be allocated to each county is only about 1,000 people.

In addition, they are not local snakes, and in the face of the increasingly fierce tiger and leopard army in the territory, they can only retreat to the county seat to ensure the safety of the county seat.

However, it was impossible to stop the guerrillas from relying on those county towns alone.

As a result, such a scene appeared in several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. As soon as the regimental training in the defensive area left on the front foot, the Haw Par Army guerrillas followed on the back foot to occupy these villages and towns.

As for the landlords and gentry who formed these regimental trainings, after losing their regimental training, they directly became a piece of meat on the chopping block of the guerrillas, and the guerrillas could eat whatever they wanted.

In just a few days, dozens or hundreds of landlords and gentry who had formed regiments were dealt a devastating blow by the guerrillas.

Faced with this situation, the remaining landlords and gentry certainly did not dare to continue to send out the regimental training they had worked so hard to form and train as cannon fodder.

Not only that, but those regimental training envoys who were attacked by the guerrillas and whose families were ruined. In order to take revenge, he is not rushing to the Yangtze River.

Ignoring the orders of the imperial court, he directly led his subordinates to return to help, hoping to regain the Wanguan family wealth he had lost from the hands of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

As local landlords, if these regimental drills relied on the high walls and deep courtyards of the landlords' houses for defense, they would certainly be able to block the possible attacks launched by the guerrillas.

After all, the guerrillas were not equipped with artillery, like the field units of the Haw Par Army, and there was no regimental training with artillery that could be magazineed on the battlefield.

However, after losing the protection of the high walls and deep courtyards, these regimental training directly became a flock of lambs to the slaughter.

The guerrillas will bite him and tomorrow they will bite him...... When they finally rushed home, the confident regimental training envoy suddenly found that the regimental training, which was still well-equipped and powerful, had lost more than half of it at this moment.

Under such circumstances, not to mention regaining Wanguan's family wealth from the guerrillas, there may not even be a way to save his own life.

After all, at this moment, they have penetrated deep into the guerrilla-controlled area, far away from the protection of the new army of the imperial court.

When these regimental exercises reacted and wanted to rush to the nearest county town and get the protection of the new army, it was too late.

The guerrillas, who have been waiting for a long time, of course, will not let the fat that has been bitten into their mouths slip away like this.

After the end of one after another annihilation battles against these regimental exercises, the imperial court suddenly found that its idea and plan to let regimental training be cannon fodder was once again shattered.

Not only that, but the imperial court also lost 10,000 or 20,000 regimental training for this reason, and countless villages and towns were taken by the Tiger and Leopard Army guerrillas.

More importantly, taking advantage of the war, the county towns defended by the eight imperial court new armies also fell into the hands of these guerrillas, and more than 6,000 new armies formed by the imperial court at a great expense were also wiped out by these guerrillas, once again staging a big drama of losing their wives and soldiers.

Faced with this ending that he never thought of, Zhou Shuyuan had no way to give Chongzhen a reasonable explanation even if he had two mouths.

So, as a subordinate, he had to be driven out of the court by Emperor Chongzhen with a face full of unwillingness, and became the laughing stock of all the ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

After venting the anger in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen not only gave up the idea of continuing to draw some group training to be cannon fodder.

He also strictly ordered all localities to strictly guard against stubborn defense in regimental training to ensure that the guerrillas of the Haw Par Army would not further expand...... (To be continued......)
