"I'm still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! Can't I be the master wherever I'm going? Chongzhen was so angry that he couldn't listen to it anymore after Zhou in the backyard.

On July 10, the Holy Driver of the Ming Emperor arrived in Tai'an Prefecture, and after staying in the East Palace Annex at the foot of Mount Tai, he refused to go south again.

At this moment, Wu Fu, Sun Chuanting and a cadre of courtiers separated the two sides of the emperor, and looked at the thirty-four-year-old Son of Heaven who was furious.

From the moment he arrived at Qingshi Pass, Chongzhen felt a little wrong, and tentatively proposed that he wanted to go to Texas. Xiao Donglou, who was in charge of taking over the security work, was very happy, but none of the courtiers agreed. They used the firmest tone, the most perfect logic, and the most abundant examples to dispel the illusion that the emperor would go on a personal expedition.

"Bixia, the world is turbulent, it is the time for Bixia to return to the dynasty as soon as possible and stabilize people's hearts, how can he personally take risks?" Jiang Yueguang successfully welcomed the emperor south, and every day he went south, his status was one point higher, and of course he refused to let the emperor go north. And finally left the "control" of the crown prince, wouldn't he become a puppet again if he went to Texas?

"I just want to see with my own eyes how the soldiers fought bravely, what's wrong with that!" Chongzhen shouted. He shook off his loose hair, looked at the guards outside the door, and shouted, "Xiao Donglou! ”

"The last general!" Xiao Donglou strode forward, the iron armor on his body rustling.

"I order you, I order you to lead your troops to guard me north to Texas today!" Chongzhen was so angry that he was almost out of breath.

"Bixia," Xiao Donglou raised one eye, "the last general can't leave the land of faith without permission." ”

"You're afraid of death!" Chongzhen shook his hand heavily, and rushed out of the door in two steps: "This big tomorrow, but there are still loyal people who are willing to go to the north with me!" ”

The guards of the second battalion in the courtyard stood tall and immovable. As if nothing had been heard.

"Isn't there a warrior?" Chongzhen stomped his foot heavily.

Sun Chuanting and Wu Fu glanced at each other, and had to step forward and say, "Bixia, even if General Xiao is willing to go north to kill the enemy, I'm afraid he won't be able to take a single soldier with him." ”

"Nonsense!" Chongzhen turned around abruptly and stared at Sun Chuanting: "Isn't it the Ministry of War?" You give it to him! ”

Sun Chuanting lowered his head to hide his wry smile. What is the use of the military department's document transfer? Would the military judges and instructors in the guard camp of the East Palace watch a general mess around without a military order? Even if they're all messing around. Is it possible for the military department to give grain and grass without the prince's military order?

"I want a warrant from His Highness." Jiang Yueguang did not miss any opportunity, and always let the emperor realize that he was actually imprisoned by the crown prince, and the imperial power had already been trampled into the soil. And himself, as well as the Jiangnan ministers represented behind him, are the loyal ministers who truly defend the imperial power and defend the emperor!

Unless they plan to break the net, it is impossible for the courtiers to impeach the crown prince. However, if the emperor himself was dissatisfied with the crown prince and proposed to change the crown prince...... The civil servants just need to look passable. Although the Ming Dynasty has not yet been deposed as the crown prince. But there are many allusions in the history before the Ming Dynasty.

Wu Fu lowered his eyes slightly, and said: "Bixia, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince protects the holy car with his own personal guards, and his filial piety can be an example for the world. If Bixia refuses to appreciate it, I'm afraid it will chill His Highness. ”

"Hehe," Jiang Yueguang said with a smile, "what Mr. Wu said is extremely true. bixia, the minister thought. When Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, came to escort Nan Xing. His Royal Highness's guards are all battle-hardened divisions, and they can be transferred to the north to fight against the enemy. Regain lost ground. As long as you reach the boundary of Xuzhou, it is still a peaceful world. ”

Luo Yukun occupied Xuzhou and set up a coal and iron plant, which was already widely known public news in the East Palace system, but it was unheard of for Jiang Yueguang, who was closed to news. Moreover, Gao Jie's death is also said to be a mutiny in the camp and died at the hands of rebellious soldiers. If it weren't for Luo Yukun, I'm afraid that there would no longer be a Ming Red Flag in Xuzhou City.

Wu Fu smiled at this, and said secretly: With Luo Yukun from Xuzhou here, Ma Shiying can't bring many soldiers if he wants to. His Royal Highness asked the emperor to go to Yanzhou to improve the situation of the imperial family. But there was no idea of letting the emperor out of control. Now that the emperor is making such a fuss, it is a great thing.

"Bixia, the minister thought that he could send an edict to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, ordering him to send troops to Jinan Mansion and garrison the De Palace." Ni Yuanlu came out of the class and said: "Or drive Yanzhou from now on and stay in the Lu Palace." Can the Holy Son of Heaven live in the grass for a long time with the dignity of the Ninety-Five? ”

Wu Fu was secretly happy, the water was getting muddy.

"I'm here's the order!" Chongzhen's tone has not decreased, but the momentum is no longer there.

……

On July 15, the Divine Decree arrived at the Texas camp.

Zhu Cihong did not accept the incense case, but on the grounds of the tense military situation on the front line, he took it directly and looked at it. Seeing that the emperor was bent on coming to Texas, he was not reluctant, and as an emperor, seeing these brave people who worked hard for him could correct some wrong concepts. It's just that no one can say anything about the battle array, and flying arrows and stray bullets always like to make some historical jokes.

If the emperor has three longs and two shorts in Dezhou, I am afraid that the provinces in the south of the Ming Dynasty will change greatly within ten days. Those warlords must have prepared the vassal kings a long time ago, and they came out one by one to supervise the country.

After Wang Zhixin went to Nanjing, he was able to collect a part of the grain, grass and taxes in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Let the warriors live and recuperate." Zhu Cihong announced the adjournment of the meeting, "General You, General Li, you can rest after you go to patrol the camp with me." ”

You Shiwei and Li Changling immediately received the order.

The generals and colonels returned to their garrison defense areas, and Zhu Cihong led the veterans of the General Staff Headquarters to shuttle through the battalions to inspect the wounded and sick in the hospital and comfort them. By the time this set was completed, the night was already dark.

"Rest early, generals, there is still a battle ahead of you." Zhu Cihong himself was a little sleepy, but looking at these veterans, his face was still full of red light, and he didn't look tired at all, and he couldn't help but admire.

"Your Highness," said You Shiwei, "there will be a word at the end, which will be stored in the chest for a long time, and will not vomit or be unhappy. ”

Zhu Cihong cheered up and said, "How can you not say anything about the general's advice?" ”

"Your Highness," You Shiwei said, "what Guan Pingzhou, the staff officer of the 1st Battalion, said that day, was not all childish words. He looked at the crown prince's face and said, "Our army has always focused on elite soldiers, but in fact, it is a little too fine. If you can shorten the training time of recruits, use the full moon period, and expand the scale, you can have more results. ”

"Your Highness," Li Changling also said, "the soldiers of our army practice day and night, and the training in January is already worthy of the previous March time, which is enough to cope with the battle." ”

Zhu Cihong nodded slightly, paced two steps under the starry sky, and said, "The two generals, if they have only been training for a month and their courage has not yet grown, can they withstand such a battle formation today?" ”

"Your Highness, the soldiers who can defend the iron cavalry without retreating are probably the only ones today." Li Changling has a big temper, and he usually doesn't talk much, but once he speaks, he doesn't let go.

"Therefore, if you train a group of soldiers who dare not resist when they see the cavalry and are afraid when they turn their heads, it is useless to have two more battalions. Not only did it waste a month's rations, but it also missed a major event. Zhu Cihong said: "When I first went out of Beijing to aid Sun Du, the guard battalion also tried to use two months of soldiers to fight, and the battle damage was obviously greater than now. ”

"Your Highness, our army is too small in number to withstand attrition." You Shiwei said bitterly.

"That's it," Zhu Cihong shook his head and said, "Assuming that our soldiers are trained for a month, their combat power is one; After two months of training, the combat power is added to one for two; After three months of training, is the combat power three? No, it's four! If it's to save time, is it a loss? The two generals think about it, isn't this the truth? ”

Both You Shiwei and Li Changling have studied the training syllabus intensively, and know that the first month of training for recruits focuses on queues, physical fitness, and discipline, and other training is just embellishment. In the second month, on this basis, there was a bias towards marching and camping training. In the third month, the actual combat training of various combat skills and changing formations against the enemy will be intensified. Without the foundation of the first two months, the third phase of training could not be carried out. Without the third stage of intensive training, these recruits would not be enough to complete the transition from peasant to professional soldiers.

"Don't worry, the two generals," Zhu Cihong said soothingly: "After our army's muskets are generally equipped, the training speed can be much faster." The combat effectiveness of our army will probably be able to recover to the level of the Qi family's army. (To be continued......)
