Nearly 1,000 enemies were annihilated while more than 100 people were self-inflicted, and this kind of record of exchanging one for ten was not brilliant. After Xiao Mo withdrew, Wu Fu inevitably wanted to congratulate, but he couldn't understand the crown prince with a bitter smile and Min Zhanlian who accompanied him with a bitter smile.

Zhu Cihong, as the founder of the East Palace Guard Battalion, really couldn't anesthetize himself with numbers. In his mind, a strictly trained army would inevitably be able to destroy the decay in the face of the old-fashioned rogues. In particular, he has the advantage at the tactical level, forming a two-sided attack; In terms of the number of elite soldiers, it is also superior, and all the soldiers who go into battle to fight are soldiers who have been strictly trained for months, and they do not use auxiliaries and civilians as cannon fodder.

Zuihou even killed more than 100 people!

"Your Highness, it won't be next time." Min Zhanlian waited for Wu Fu to go out, and then said: "I have already said before that after two or three months of training, after all, I can only go into battle, but I can't train into an invincible heavenly army. ”

Zhu Cihong realized his negative emotions and broke free from them. Min Zhanlian did say that he would use the battlefield to eliminate, but he didn't think so at the time, this was originally a matter of natural selection for the survival of the fittest. Soldiers who can't adapt to the battlefield, what can they do but die in battle? After all, the crown prince is not really descending to the stars, and he can use his divine power to protect them from invulnerability.

"The dead of war deserve to be honored." Zhu Cihong sighed and said: "Tomorrow, we will convene officers at and above the department level to discuss the gains and losses of the battle and sum up the lessons and lessons. Your training department has also gone into battle this time, and if you have any ideas, please say them together. ”

Min Zhanlian said: "Your Highness, this time in battle is also the first time for a big girl to go to the sedan chair, although she has carried a murder case before, but she was also shocked when she really went to the battlefield to fight." Those soldiers who have never seen blood, seeing this kind of scene, will inevitably have soft legs, soft hands and soft hearts, and these three softness will be entangled. and they will only be slaughtered by men. Therefore, he thought that he would see blood from time to time on weekdays. ”

"How do you see blood?" Zhu Cihong asked, "Is it beheaded?" ”

"Beheading can make you angry, but it may not be bold." Min Zhanlian said: "I think that I am still looking for bandits." Those old bandits are full of evil, but they don't have the formation training of rogues, so it should be a little easier to attack and kill. This time, I met the battle of the rogues. It was also a little surprising that they were more like officers and soldiers than officers and soldiers. ”

Only then did Zhu Cihong wipe away his face and said: "These people are Li Zicheng's personal guards, and there is no shortage of personal martial arts and experience. And from the second year of Chongzhen to the present, the officers and soldiers who have been thieves have long been the backbone of thieves. ”

Min Zhanlian just wanted to guide the crown prince to realize this problem himself. How can there be a reason for a recruit to win a veteran? Although the thieves and soldiers are not well fed and clothed, and the drills are not as strict as those in the East Palace, they have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and they are only thinking about how to kill the enemy and live themselves. You're thinking about how to kill the enemy. He has already made several killer moves there, and this disadvantage is not something that can be brought back on the school field.

"When the first batch of summary reports is sent tomorrow, I will have a copy of it for you." Zhu Cihong said: "You can also see how to improve it in the drill, so that the blood of these fighters will not be shed in vain." After the Battle of Ruzhou is over for the time being, I will find someone to rebuild the "Code of Conduct" to make it closer to actual combat. Zhu Cihong laughed at himself a little: "Speaking of which, I still made these things behind closed doors, and I don't know how many people have been killed." ”

"His Highness's Code of Conduct is almost exhaustive. As far as Jianjun is concerned, it is really a great achievement. The battlefield is changing rapidly, even if there are loopholes. It is also the officers who are stiff and inflexible. Min Zhanlian said with relief.

Zhu Cihong's heart moved, and said: "Yes, there are also problems with grassroots officers. In this way, the captured thief officers should also write a report stating how they were dealt with under what circumstances. Knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, we know too little about the thief. ”

"Yes." Min Zhanlian responded.

Zhu Cihong listened to Min Zhanlian's order. suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately realized the root of the problem: on the issue of the inner palace, he had Liu Ruoyu as his secretary; In the government writing, there is Wu Weiye to take hands; On military issues alone, he has not yet set up a special military secretarial body.

- A military order department is needed. So as not to have more troops in the future, and the military order will be confused.

Zhu Cihong secretly made a note in his heart. Before he could write it down, Wu Changchun was already waiting outside. Min Zhanlian vaguely knew that there was a mysterious aura shrouded in the Ministry of Military Justice, and people who knew each other would never want to get involved, so he immediately said that he would go out to inspect. Although it was said that it was a personal guard, Zhu Cihong didn't want the matter of the ten-person group to be rumored out, so he immediately nodded and agreed, and asked him to call Wu Changchun in by the way.

Wu Changchun walked into the warm spring-like tent, saw Zhu Cihong, who had not slept all night, and handed over a burden quietly. Zhu Cihong opened the baggage, and inside was a thick stack of words, which turned out to be a summary of the performance of the commanders at all levels in this operation.

"So fast?" Zhu Cihong was a little surprised.

"Your Highness, there are not many people who are really fighting on the front line." Wu Changchun said: "And there are only a few eye-catching." ”

Having said that, such a large amount of text already shows that there is a lot of work. Zhu Cihong wrapped the burden first and said, "Has anyone violated the law and discipline this time?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, there are two people who have taken the spoils of war privately, and they have been detained and waiting to be released." Wu Changchun Road.

Zhu Cihong nodded his forehead lightly, there was already a precursor to physical exhaustion, and he said in a strong voice: "This kind of thing can be said to be big or small, and small is to be said to be small." I thought that it would be a shame to let the whole battalion know that it was a shame to have unclean hands and feet, but it was also necessary to leave room for them to make meritorious contributions. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey." Wu Changchun responded.

"Since I have said this, I will say one more thing: Desertion, defection, surrender and other sins must be dealt with in reverse." Zhu Cihong said: "You must kill quickly and accurately, but don't make a fuss, the image of the military still has to be scrupulous, especially not to engage in things like beheading and hanging corpses to deterrence." ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Wu Changchun bit every word extremely hard.

Zhu Cihong wanted him to go down, but couldn't help but ask again: "After this battle, how is the morale of the army?" ”

"The soldiers' fighting spirit is undiminished, and their morale is high." Wu Changchun thought for a while and said: "The Qingyi doctors have worked hard and made great achievements, and many of the wounded soldiers who have been treated have said that they will be given immortal tablets. ”

Zhu Cihong understood what Wu Changchun meant, this was because he was worried that the Qingyi doctor would steal the limelight from His Royal Highness the Prince. It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need such a limelight, as long as there is enough prestige. And to have Weifu is also very simple, lead them to win the battle all the way, arrange their afterlife, that's all.

"I'll see these later, you go down and rest first." Zhu Cihong casually asked again, "What time is it?" ”

Wu Changchun was stunned for a moment, hurriedly withdrew from the tent and asked, and only came back after a while and said, "It's almost five thirty o'clock." ”

Zhu Cihong squeezed out a smile: "Go down." He looked at Wu Changchun's figure bowing and withdrawing, and said secretly in his heart: It seems that popularizing clocks and watches is also a matter to be photographed in front.

Fortunately, there is enough silver.

Thinking of silver, Zhu Cihong thought of grain again.

This also made him worried.

It is said that "Huguang is ripe, the world is full", and now Huguang is occupied by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, they opened a branch to take scholars, sent local officials, like a small court, and the amount of food flowing out is small and expensive. Jiangnan was originally the land of fish and rice, but since the wind of sea trade flourished in the Jiajing period, the good fertile land has long been changed into mulberry gardens, and in the Wanli period, it has to completely rely on the grain output of Huguang.

The north is a natural and man-made disaster, and hunger is everywhere, not to mention.

Silver alone can't buy food, which really makes Zhu Cihong miserable. Now the East Palace is already collecting grain at a price that exceeds the market price by 30%, plus the transshipment consumption, each stone of rice is worth five taels! This is almost catching up with the price of Jiannu buying grain from the Guannei!

Silver is so worthless as silver, it is better to buy more clairvoyant mirrors and iron clocks to reward officers. It is more face-saving than a direct reward for silver, and it is of great benefit to command operations. If these channels can be stabilized, they can be used to operate in Shandong in the future, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

Zhu Cihong suddenly felt a little dazed in front of him, and the voice in his head gradually became ethereal. He nodded his head heavily, and actually smashed on the summary sent by Wu Changchun, and fell asleep completely. (To be continued......)
