In the spring of the fourth year of Longjing, when the Dadu Governor's Office was inspecting the records of various military towns, it discovered the numerical number of the troops implemented by the Korean division. In this simple numbering rule, the troops above the division level have their own unique numerical number, because the smallest combat group in the Ming army is now the division.

"This set of methods is very convenient for internal writing, and it is probably made by a certain staff officer of the North Korean division who wants to be lazy." You Shiwei has long been displeased with the names of Shaanxi Division, Korean Division and other obvious regional characteristics, which are undoubtedly the remnants of old military towns such as Liaozhen and Xuanzhen. Now that the old military town has finally been completely absorbed, the new army pays great attention to moving around in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, but how can this make the soldiers form a sense of belonging?

Of course, the same idea as You Shiwei is the General Discipline Department. So Qin Liangyu and You Shiwei decided to go to Emperor Shu and reformulate the number of troops within the whole army, and each unit was no longer named after the place where it was stationed.

Zhu Cihong agrees with this, he has never seen the PLA called "the first army of a certain province" on TV.

"It's okay to rearrange the number." Zhu Cihong said: "The key question is whether this can bring about an increase in combat effectiveness. If we cannot effectively improve our combat effectiveness, there will be no need for this kind of restructuring, and it will be a waste of time and energy. Even if it has to be done, it can be done after the world is peaceful. ”

You Shiwei was speechless about this. No one dared to say that it would be better to fight if the unit was changed to a different number, and now that the units of the Northern Expeditionary Front were still fighting, if the staff officers were distracted by these things, they might lose the war.

"But it's a bit of an interesting idea." Zhu Cihong eased the atmosphere, seeing that You Shiwei's hair was completely white, Qin Liangyu needless to say, he had to cherish these veterans. He said: "It seems that the North Korean division is a little idle, so it is better to hand over Liaoning to them." ”

You Shiwei was a little surprised: "What does Your Majesty mean to mobilize the Second Guards Army to participate in the Northern Expedition?" ”

"Of course. According to the original plan, it is time to enter the third phase as well. Zhu Cihong said.

The Mongols' will to resist was much weaker than the Ming had first anticipated, and after losing their reputable leader, the vast majority of the Mongols chose to surrender to the Ming, accept the Ming canonization, and obey the Ming laws. Pay national taxes.

However, because of the scattered nature of the Mongolian tribes, many tribes were two-sided and three-stabbed, on the one hand, they asked for attachment, and on the other hand, they plundered the horses and destroyed the logistics of the Ming army, which is the reason why the Battle of Monan Pingding lasted for two years.

Today, the Mongols in the Monan region were either executed for rebellion or exiled for crimes, and the herdsmen who remained in place to graze their cattle were all Shunliang people who had been selected several times, and basically met the requirements of being used as a base for marching. According to the layout of the third stage. Now the troops should be directed to Mobei, capture Urge, and complete the great cause of sealing the wolf.

"If the Second Guards Army can make a northern expedition from the Eastern Front, it will be good news for the First Cavalry Army and the First Army of Shaanxi, and their combat pressure will be greatly reduced." Yu Shiwei said.

Judging from the feedback from various intelligence departments such as Jinyiwei, the Department of Staff, and the Department of Military Intelligence, the possibility of a large-scale operation breaking out in Mobei is quite high.

Because of the rout of Lin Dan Khan, the Mongols were torn apart, like scattered sand, and later because of the Ming counterattack against the Qing army. It hurts a lot.

However, Mobei Mongolia was relatively united, and there was no obvious civil strife among the three major tribes of Khalkha Mongolia: Zasaktu, Tushetu, and Chechnya. And in the Chongzhen years, they went to Shenyang together, surrendered to Houjin, and carried out the "Nine White Tribute" - a white camel and eight white horses were paid every year.

In the face of the disintegration of the 16 tribes of Monan, the 3rd Khalkha tribe did not support troops to go south to help their Mongolian compatriots - they, like the Ming Dynasty, did not have a clear national concept. However, this meant that they would not surrender lightly unless the Ming army showed strength that they could not resist.

"The Khalkha Mongols do not have much contact with our DPRK. It may be more difficult to rule like Mo Nan. Its population is around 200,000, and there are about 80,000 strong soldiers, and our army should have a slight chance of victory when attacking Mobei with three armies and 100,000 troops. Yu Shiwei continued.

Fighting a war is not just about more than people. Morale, people's hearts, geography, weather...... all have an impact.

"The Second Guards Army will advance into Mobei, at least after June." Zhu Cihong said, "The offensive will be launched in August, and before that, the replacement of retired and new recruits this year will be completed. ”

It is the integrity of the imperial court to retire the soldiers on time. Although there is a strong presence in the barracks, there is no guarantee that everyone will be willing to eat food and fight. Allowing soldiers to retire on time is precisely to give hope to those who do not want to fight, so that they can still return to their hometowns and enjoy happiness as long as they train seriously and fight bravely.

And from another point of view, these retired soldiers will not immediately return to their hometowns in the mainland. Before they retire, they will receive many job offers, either to be transferred to the local yamen as a police officer, or to serve in the inspection department, or to be transferred to the recruitment and enter the logistics department.

For those who have a deep affection for the army and are willing to use their military exploits to glorify their ancestors, they will voluntarily turn into conscription before the expiration of their service and continue to stay in combat units. They are often awarded non-commissioned officers, or even escorted to military universities, where they continue to serve as officers.

"With a scale of 100,000 people, the logistical pressure has reached the limit, right?" Zhu Cihong said with concern.

You Shiwei said seriously: "The minister doesn't know much about this, and His Majesty should inquire about Li Changling." ”

"Li Du proposed to retire a few days ago, You Du knows about this, right?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"The minister has heard a little."

"But there is no one in logistics who can take on the burden of Li Du, so I didn't give permission." Zhu Cihong said helplessly: "You Du should also be vigilant about this matter, if You Du does not give me a candidate in the future, I will not let you go." ”

You Shiwei said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, rest assured, our Army Staff Headquarters is full of talents. The chiefs of staff of the main forces can take on important responsibilities. ”

"Then let them also do a good job in the construction of the reserve echelon, otherwise don't think about promotion."

The two of them smiled heartily, and became more and more confident in the military development of the Ming Dynasty.

Those who uphold government are undoubtedly most worried about the death of the people.

Zhu Cihong has worried countless times that once he becomes a big business, his descendants will abolish the policies he has formulated, and let Daming return to the old road again. Fortunately, now that my health is getting better and better, various systems are also on track, and new interest groups have gradually formed, and it is no longer realistic to completely abolish them.

After the battle of Mobei, it should be two extremely critical passes for the Ming Dynasty's national fortunes in the next five hundred years: contact with the Russians; The soldiers pointed directly at Moxi.

After You Shiwei came out of the Wuying Palace, he unexpectedly saw Wang Chengen standing outside the door. As a confidant of the Son of Heaven, Wang Chengen did not serve in the palace probably because of his shift, but since he didn't rest, why didn't he go in? Although You Shiwei was a little puzzled, he did not stop at his feet, and passed by Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen waited for You Shiwei to leave before he went in and reported: "Emperor, the Emperor is invited." ”

Zhu Cihong knew that his father would not usually send people to Wuying Hall to look for him, and no matter how big the matter was, he would just let people wait in Zhongcui Palace. He finished the work at hand, walked out of the Wuying Hall quickly, got into the open carriage dedicated to the palace, and rushed to the Qianqing Palace.

Before entering the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Cihong found that everyone had a smile on their faces, as if there was something good.

"Emperor! The third master will laugh! The female officer beside the Duan family said excitedly to Zhu Cihong.

"Oh, that's it." Zhu Cihong's face was calm, and he walked into the main hall of Qianqing Palace, and saw Zhou Hou holding Brother Shun, who was more than three months old, with a smile on his eyebrows.

The third prince already has a tuba, named Zhu Heyuan in a proper manner, and is laughing in his grandmother's arms at the moment, and from time to time he wants to reach out and grab the golden hair ornament on his grandmother's head.

"Father." Zhu Cihong walked to Chongzhen's side and bowed.

"Look, your son is going to laugh." Chongzhen said with excitement on his face.

Zhu Cihong looked at it and was a little puzzled: Won't the children laugh at this time? Jia Ge will be in more than two months.

"I see, since the crown prince has been decided, you have to consider the matter of Brother Jia and Brother Shun becoming kings." Chongzhen said: "You can wait until you are ten years old to be canonized, but you can't help but think about it in advance." ”

Zhu Cihong was silent.

Chongzhen saw that his son didn't speak, and was about to persuade him again, so he heard Zhu Cihong say: "Father, is there another clan request to attack the seal?" ”

Chongzhen was broken by Zhu Cihong's words, and said: "I only said that your son and my grandson were knighted, and I didn't ask about other clan relatives for a long time." ”

Zhu Cihong sighed. He has always wanted to make a system of meritocracy, and even has a draft, but neither the inner palace nor the cabinet approve of this cold approach. They think that they can not give people the feudal country and good land, but the title must always be given, which is the rule set by Taizu and the cornerstone of national ethics.

"If you don't have the ability to support yourself and be proud, wouldn't you lose the face of Emperor Taizu Gao?" Zhu Cihong said carefully.

Chongzhen also sighed: "If you are really talentless, you will simply seal it in a remote place, out of sight and out of mind." ”

Zhu Cihong smiled bitterly and said: "Father, the son just doesn't let the mediocre beetle attack the lord, but the father's method is to put people to death." ”

Chongzhen was embarrassed for a moment, turned around and continued to tease his little grandson, avoiding the question.

Zhu Cihong knew that this matter was not over, and those disciples of the sect who were waiting to attack the seal would go to King Jin from time to time to cry or send some blood books in. This is a "grinding" word kung fu, when the court is really impatient, simply throw a knighthood to him, he can confidently ask for shares, ask for land, and even ask for non-share wealth under the banner of the royal family.

- Since you want to grind, then don't blame me for cutting through the mess quickly.

Zhu Cihong also had a ruthless energy in his heart, and secretly decided to cover the compulsory service order to the sect himself. (To be continued......)
