138 Heroes Take Advantage of the Times (11)

Zhu Cihong pays attention to health preservation in the palace, but he can't keep fit. In the old man's concept, the fleshy child is the baby of Fuwa. And as a nobleman, there are norms for walking, let alone running? As for self-made fitness equipment, the key is safety - not only the safety of the prince himself, but more importantly, the safety of the emperor, so dumbbells and horizontal bars are prohibited. Just as many people know that Emperor Wanli is a big fat man, few people pay attention to the fact that he was also a sunny boy who loves sports when he was a teenager, and Zuihou was strangled by the iron triangle of Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao and Empress Dowager Li.

When he arrived at the East Palace Residence, Zhu Cihong could finally let go of the exercise. Fortunately, the previous physical foundation was not bad, and the nutrition could keep up, and I could already see the faint muscle lines by following the recruits to run laps and ride horses, and to work hard. However, no matter how good your body is, after all, it is only the body of a fifteen-year-old boy, and the endocrine system will not care how old your mental age is. Under great psychological pressure all year round, coupled with the fatigue of the march, I didn't have a good rest for a day after arriving in Ruzhou, and finally reached the limit of my body and fell asleep completely.

The little eunuch who was waiting outside did not dare to trespass without being called, until after dawn, Lu Suyao, who came to follow the class, did not respond to the request at the door of the tent, and boldly broke into the tent, only to find that His Royal Highness the Prince was lying on the table and sleeping soundly.

Lu Suyao didn't dare to disturb His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sleeping soundly, and was even happy to see that the Prince had finally slept. The image of a workaholic who works during the day and barely sleeps at night really makes his subordinates feel heavy. She ordered someone to find a thin blanket, tiptoed forward, and gently put it on Zhu Cihong's body.

As if he had been pricked by a needle, Zhu Cihong sat up and opened his sleepy eyes: "It's dawn?" ”

"Your Highness, it's cold here. Go back to town and sleep. Lu Suyao hurriedly retreated and said in a low voice.

Zhu Cihong inhaled, and his lungs were full of the smell of morning fog brought in by Lu Suyao. He rubbed his face, cleared the discomfort in his throat, and said, "You go and arrange for the officers to come over for military discussion today, and." Bring a bowl of hot batter. ”

Lu Suyao wanted to persuade His Highness to rest, but in the end she pursed her lips and went out to do errands. This highness can be described as generous to his subordinates, and it is rare to see him criticize anyone, but his personality is indeed as strong as a cow, and no one can pull back what he recognizes.

Zhu Cihong has already buried his head in the summary report on the case, with ten lines at a glance, just like simply turning a book. It was only when he took out one or two in the middle and put them next to him that he was sure that he was indeed looking very carefully, and at the same time sifting through them. Until a name called "Liu Xi" appeared on the summary. The prince finally stopped his gaze and paused for two minutes on the summary.

The 10-member regiment had to report not only the violations of law and discipline among the soldiers, but also the good deeds of good people with contagious spirit. They are not so much part-time whistleblowers as a channel for getting their feelings down.

After reading this legendary story, Zhu Cihong released the file of "Liu Shi" alone, and also remembered Liu Shi's boss: She An.

Without waiting for Zhu Cihong to finish reading the files in his hand, the officers had already rushed outside the tent one after another. Zhu Cihong considered that the weather was already cold, and it was better to let them chat outside than to let them come in and chat together. He simply stopped what he was doing and asked the officers to be summoned.

The officers went into the military tent. They were seated according to their military ranks, and most of the expressions on their faces were uneasy. Although they won the battle, the casualties of the various divisions poured on their hearts like cold water, and the battle that they thought was devastating was finally turned into a force battle, and some divisions even won only a small victory.

"Everybody played well." Zhu Cihong keenly captured the expressions of the officers: "Liu Zongmin is a famous general in the world, and the soldiers under him are Li Zicheng's Zhongquan personal guards. Able to fight and win against such an army. It can be seen that my East Palace guard battalion also has the capital to be called a strong army in the world. ”

Everyone saw that the prince was full of spring breeze, and this was a little more relaxed. Only Xiao Mo still had a cold face, holding the summary report and the soldier diary that were rushed out overnight tightly in his hand, explaining his intentions and explaining every one of his arrangements. and the actual effect. When he finished writing, he realized that this summary report could be regarded as a review.

"Your Highness, General Chen asks to see you." Someone outside the door reported.

Chen De did not receive the notice of the military meeting, because the main content of the meeting was to review the operation and make arrangements for the aftermath at the same time. He is not the main battle force, and he is not even the deployment of the East Palace system, so Zhu Cihong just asked him to check the results of the battle, and did not ask him to attend.

Chen De had long been very curious about the results. He saw Liu Zongmin and Niu Jinxing with his own eyes, and sighed that His Highness's luck was so good, and he captured two enemy dignitaries in a battle. Later, he went to verify the casualties in the battle, and was surprised to find that not only were there no discrepancies in the numbers, but the flag teams of various divisions and bureaus even posted the names of people, which was simply unheard of. If all military towns are so open and transparent, how can officials drink the blood of soldiers and eat empty salaries?

As for the captured money, grain, and war horses, Chen De was no longer interested in checking them one by one, and he was even more anxious to come back and listen to the prince's opinion on this battle. At this moment, he was really glad that he had come to the right place, and he could get a glimpse of the real way of soldiering.

"Let him in." Zhu did not exclude Chen De. Wherever he goes, he always pays attention to his biggest job title and does not close himself off as the leader of a small team. As the leader of the Donggong system, he has to work hard to strengthen himself, but as the crown prince of Huangming, he also has to work hard to strengthen everything that can help the empire out of its predicament.

Chen De entered the military tent and sat cautiously on the side, inconspicuous. Although he was a guerrilla general of the imperial court, it was obvious that the people sitting in this tent valued the military rank awarded by the East Palace more, so the only general they recognized was General Yu Changyu. Even though he himself was still fighting the plague in Tianjin, his reputation was enhanced by the excellent performance of the Tsing Yi doctors.

After a period of small talk, the eunuch came in to remind the hour, Zhu Cihong put away the smile on his face, and said in a loud voice: "Although this battle was fought well, there are also many things worth reflecting on. Now, from top to bottom, let's talk about my feelings briefly. Don't follow the script, wait for your summary to be handed in in the future, and there will be written materials to be distributed. ”

Xiao Mo stood up stubbornly, saluted Zhu Cihong, and bowed his head and said, "Improper command ...... the humble position"

"In this way," Zhu Cihong interrupted Xiao Mo's words, "just talk about your feelings roughly, don't criticize, and don't make conclusions." ”

Xiao Mo breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and said: "The humble post has made up his mind to fight a decisive battle in the field, but he is obsessed with the gains and losses of one city and one place, so that he has scattered his troops and lost the initiative on the battlefield. ”

"Looking at the generals who were born in the drill code, it is inevitable that this will be the case." Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "Several divisions under your command have played well. I have an impression of that She'an, and the next one is you. ”

She An was excited when she heard this, and quickly stood up and saluted. However, when he really stood in front of everyone, this little excitement passed in an instant, and he just followed Xiao Mo's tone and said: "The lowly soldiers are dangerous, greedy for merit and recklessness, and they divide their troops to attack the enemy's rear road, which almost causes a big disaster." ”

Zhu Cihong nodded slightly: "With the right fit, with the odd win." That's all well and good, but you still have to be prepared to do your tricks. Next. ”

With Xiao Mo and She An taking the lead, others did not dare to deviate, and they all confessed to the areas that needed to be improved. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said not to review, the whole meeting still became a review meeting. This made Chen De more and more surprised. The post-war deliberations he had seen were all exaggerated casualties and requests for food and compensation; or boast of their military exploits and seek to be promoted and make a fortune. I have never seen anyone who will show their shortcomings in front of Shangfeng, let alone even take out such a trivial matter as "the delay in the supply of food and the delay in the meal time of the soldiers" will be reviewed.

Although Zhu Cihong didn't say a word, he actually used body language and expressions to control the atmosphere of the meeting, so the form was like a review conference, but the actual atmosphere was quite relaxed and happy.

After all the officers finished speaking, Zhu Cihong moved on to the next topic and said: "At present, Li Chuang's army has not retreated, and we can't take it lightly, but the various preferential policies must be conveyed so that every soldier knows, and at the same time, we must also solicit their wishes to see what worries there are." I'll start with a general situation, you add. ”

Zhu Cihong looked around, saw that everyone's faces rose solemnly, and continued: "The soldiers who died in the battle will be issued ten taels of silver, and at the same time, all their military salaries up to the time limit for retirement will also be paid on schedule. ”

Pension money is common in the world, otherwise who would be willing to fight with their lives? However, the continued payment of military salaries was a new and unheard of thing. Everyone is dead, and they can't serve the prince in the future, so what about the soldiers? Although the people knew that this was great good government, they were a little puzzled.

"In this way, their children can live without worry." Zhu Cihong said.

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden sound of Suo Suo's clothes and armor rubbing below. Everyone was conscripted together, and everyone knew that they didn't want those who dragged their families with them when they were conscripted. The people sitting here still have a day to get married and have children, and where are the children of the comrades-in-arms lying in the ground?

"When Jingshi was fighting the epidemic, our East Palace had a refugee camp and took in orphans, and everyone remembered it." Zhu Cihong said leisurely: "Among these children, select a group of strong and young people who are not very sensible, and the Ministry of Rites will send someone to come forward and pass on the incense to those who have no heirs among the soldiers in the battle, and pass on the incense." The salaries of the soldiers who died in battle were used for their livelihood. When the salaries were exhausted, the imperial court paid for the children to be raised until they reached the age of eighteen and were able to support themselves. ”

Everyone shuddered, I don't know if it was because of the death and the incense was not cut off after all, or because they heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say "Let's East Palace". (To be continued......)
