Chapter 42: A Change in Thinking

The first wind and rain drifted away

In the inner hall, with the contemplation of Emperor Chongzhen, there was a temporary silence, only the laughter and laughter in the outer hall were still there, and the soldiers ate very happily.

The guerrilla general Zhang Yunfu glanced at Emperor Chongzhen with some nervousness, waiting for the holy decision.

From guerrilla to general soldier, the promotion of the company to the third level is really important to him personally, and even to the entire family.

Cao Wenzhao was also a little nervous, but it had nothing to do with Zhang Yunfu's affairs, he was nervous about the subordinates outside.

Although he had repeatedly explained before he came, those who were drunk were all punished with fifty boards.

But Cao Wenzhao also knew what kind of virtue his subordinates had.

They are all military men who live with their heads, there is wine today and drunk today, this sweet and refreshing imperial wine, it is inevitable that some people will be greedy for a cup.

Especially when the emperor said before that he invited the soldiers to eat and drink well, this was obviously a kind word, but those grandsons dared to take it seriously.

If you really want to get drunk, you must be full of ugliness.

The emperor has a lot of them, and he won't care about them, but his face is embarrassed.

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were half-closed, he got up and quietly walked to the outer hall, called the guards to explain, and then went back to sit down.

"It's not easy for the soldiers, so let them have fun!"

Emperor Chongzhen slowly opened his eyes, knowing what was going on, and couldn't help but express comfort.

"Your Majesty, there are a group of Yi people among the last generals, who are addicted to alcohol and cannot be connived up."

Cao Wenzhao leaned over slightly and replied respectfully.

Yiren?

Emperor Chongzhen soon came to his senses, wasn't that the Mongols?

Thinking about it, I can't help but laugh dumbly, the Ming Dynasty is proud, and the Mongols who are not attached are called Tartars, and even if they are attached, they are inferior, and they are called Yi people, and they are also called Hu people.

Kuoyi, this is very good, what a big country wants is this spirit!

It's like the bones were broken in the later generations, and when they saw the Kunlun slaves, they all exclaimed, wow, foreigners!

There are even some strange women who are proud to marry a different race.

In Daming, do you try?

If you don't soak you in the pig cage, you will lose!

"How many people are in Cao Aiqing's army?"

Entering the countryside and following the customs, Emperor Chongzhen asked.

"More than five hundred, all of them are brave and brave, and their combat power is good."

Cao Wenzhao was obviously very satisfied with them and praised them loudly.

Cao Wenzhao's words made Emperor Chongzhen fall into thought, and the question of Guanning Tieqi gradually became clear.

Around the first year of Chongzhen, about 100,000 Mongolian tribes returned to the Ming Dynasty and were placed near Jinzhou by the then Liaofu.

Zu Dashou, the chief soldier of Jinzhou, directly reorganized some of the Mongols into the left and right battalions of the subjugation, with the leader of the Mongolian tribe as the general, and became the elite army under the direct command of Zu Dashou, with a number of about 3,000 people.

On this basis, Zu Dashou recruited some Han people to form the Zujia Army.

Since then, the surrendering troops led by Zu Dashou have become the main combat force of the Zujia army.

In April of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Zu Kuan, the generals of the Zujia Army, and Zu Dale led the troops to the Guanyi Jiading to suppress the bandits, and the name of the Zujia Army's good fighting spread in the pass.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, some people began to call the troops led by Zu Dashou the Guanning Iron Cavalry as the ancestral army.

Cao Wenzhao obviously lacked financial resources, so he only recruited more than 500 people.

But even so, he used them to kill the traitors.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen also made a decision on the use of Zhang Yunfu.

He found out that he had gone wrong!

After crossing over, his mind has been stuck in the thinking of using historical celebrities, and he always feels that they are reliable and easy to use.

That's right!

But how many talents does a huge empire need?

With just a limited number of people in his mind, is it really enough?

Also, I always look at the Ming officials who surrendered to Jiannu with colored glasses, which is biased.

Let's just say that Zu Dashou, although he surrendered Jiannu in the end, was it really his original intention?

Throughout Zu Dashou's life, he fought against Jiannu in Liaodong, and the two sides can be described as deep as the sea.

Not to mention anything else, there are not a few children of the family who died in battle.

What's more, Zu Dashou knows very well that what he got in Daming, Jiannu can't give him at all.

Where the fart is big, it's nothing to ask for.

After all, at that time, no one expected that Jiannu would be able to enter the Central Plains, including Jiannu and them.

Therefore, Zu Dashou repeatedly agreed to surrender to the enemy chieftain Taiji, all of which teased him.

Including the actual two reductions, one was in the first year of Chongzhen, and then returned to Jinzhou.

The other time was in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and it was finally cleared.

But both times, under the conditions of isolation, running out of ammunition and food, and the tragedy of cannibalism, Huang Taiji was asked to swear to the sky and not to kill the generals, soldiers and people, before opening the city and surrendering.

Therefore, as long as the Ming Empire is stable, Zu Dashou will not surrender to Jiannu at all.

Of course, it is necessary to take precautions.

Plan ahead!

"Zhang Yunfu, I can grant you the position of chief soldier of Shanhaiguan. However, you have to recruit 5,000 good warriors for me to replenish the Beijing camp, is there a problem? ”

Emperor Chongzhen, who was clear, finally stopped worrying about whether Zhang Yunfu was loyal or capable, wouldn't he know after using it?

Besides, since Cao Bianjiao dared to recommend him, it means that he also recognizes his ability.

And asking him to recruit 5,000 good warriors is a test of his ability. By the way, the 3,000 battalions were also formed, killing two birds with one stone.

The 3,000 battalion was one of the three major battalions of the Beijing army during the Yongle period, and was originally composed of 3,000 cavalry from outside the Saiwai.

During the Jiajing period, it grew to about 70,000 people, and later changed its name to Shenshuying.

The 3,000 battalion differed from the 5th battalion in that its subordinates were all cavalry, and they mainly played the role of assault in the war.

And the Mongols, undoubtedly, were born cavalry.

"The last general will obey the order and will live up to the emperor's high expectations!"

When Zhang Yunfu, who was up and down in his heart, heard this, he immediately rushed out and knelt down to thank him.

"I'll see!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded expectantly, and he still didn't fully trust this son of the Liaoxi Jiangmen family.

However, there is still a need for the co-optation that should be there.

Seeing that this Zhang Yunfu looks very standard, he is about the same age as Cao Bianjiao, with a slender and tall figure but not a rough figure, and he looks like a very martial artist.

He beckoned Xiao Huangmen to send a pen and paper, and wrote on the spot: The boy has his own juvenile madness, despises Kunlun, laughs at Lu Liang, sharpens his sword for several years, and shows his edge today!

Then, it was given to Zhang Yunfu.

In fact, this is the inscription he had prepared a long time ago, and he originally wanted to give it to Cao Bianjiao to make a difference in the general army of Shanhaiguan, but now the situation has changed.

"The last general will thank the emperor for his grace, and he will live up to the emperor's high expectations!"

The emperor gave an inscription, this is a great kindness, Zhang Yunfu was so moved that he threw himself to the ground, and he choked up.

I secretly swore in my heart that I must make some achievements and repay the emperor.

The effect is good, Emperor Chongzhen saw this, Long Yan was happy, and happily got up and said to the generals in the inner hall: "Let's go, let's go to pay tribute to the Ming warriors for a cup!" ”

That night, Wuyingdian laughed and laughed, and Emperor Chongzhen successfully won the unanimous support of the soldiers.
