Chapter 107: Morale Boosting
The first wind and rain drifted away
There was silence all around, only the red candles on the rosewood table jumped in the fine silk lampshade.
The blue yarn is overlapped, the sandalwood table is in the corner, and the bronze gilt incense burner is burned with rosemary, which is as quiet as a wisp, quietly whirling over the imperial study.
The sound of heavy breathing sounded between Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and Brother Pingtou's snorts.
The Emperor's grace is mighty!
But it's also a lot of pressure!
The emperor invested so much in the Jingying and Yongwei camps, and trusted them so much, that they did not dare to answer this question easily.
They are not round and can pat their chests and talk irresponsibly.
Life and death are small, and they are afraid that their talents are limited, so they will live up to the emperor's trust and love, and delay the emperor's plan.
If so, sinners through the ages!
"What, no faith?"
Emperor Chongzhen picked up the tea cup, gently blew the floating tea leaves, took a sip slightly, and glanced at them.
Please be as good as the agitation!
Reverence is good, but not too much.
Being a low-key person and doing things in a high-profile manner is an eternal truth.
"The minister will do his best to fulfill the emperor's grand wish."
Flat-headed brother Cao Wenzhao's face was solemn, and he knelt down in his robe and swore an oath.
"The minister will do his best to fulfill the emperor's grand wish."
Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong followed.
"Good!
Let our monarchs and ministers work together to build the Beijing camp and the Yongwei camp, and restore the glory of Taizu Chengzu. Let the iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty crisscross the four seas and build a great feat! ”
What I am waiting for is this sentence, and this is the spirit that I want!
Emperor Chongzhen laughed and Huo Ran got up, and a few people rushed forward to personally support the three big bodyguards and thugs.
The Ming Dynasty's long-term worship of literature and suppression of martial arts, coupled with various social problems, has been scattered for a long time, and it is naturally not so easy to suddenly want to change.
After Emperor Chongzhen crossed over, he thought about this problem day and night.
As for the combat effectiveness of the army, he was not overly worried.
Practice has proved that although Jiannu is fierce, it is by no means invincible in the world.
History proves that as long as the two armies with equal numbers face each other, as long as the dispatch is appropriate, the logistics are worry-free, and they fight each other, the Ming army may not be completely powerless.
The White Pole Army, the Tianxiong Army, the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the Qi Family Army were all recreated slaves with inferior forces.
It is a pity that they are either too few in number, or without the cooperation of friendly forces, their efforts will be in vain.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen believed that as long as several fist troops were combined, even if they could not achieve victory, they would definitely not be defeated to lose.
If Jiannu is really brave enough to be like a heavenly soldier, then the nine towns of the border pass will not be as stable as a rock, and the Ming Dynasty will not last so long.
In the final analysis, it is the Han people themselves who have problems, and the long-standing cohesion of the strong Han inheritance has been broken up, and the Tartars who are not Jiannu are really invincible.
The problem faced in the past is that those who are kings do not have the determination to fight and the generals do not have the courage to fight, so those who are soldiers naturally have no confidence to win.
What Emperor Chongzhen has to do now is to do everything possible to show his determination to the generals below, and then lead all the soldiers to unite and achieve victory.
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen strategically despised Jiannu.
As a matter of fact, because the composition of the Jiannu army was too complex, and the battle was mostly fought with ruthless spirit, once the labor expedition failed, it was inevitable that the follow-up would be weak, and even cause commotion.
What bullshit is full of people who can't be defeated, that's just boasting and hitting the morale of the Ming soldiers.
In Emperor Chongzhen's opinion, even if Jiannu's combat effectiveness is at its strongest now, it is definitely not comparable to the Tartar light horse.
It's just that the Mongolian Tatars, like the Ming Dynasty, formed Monan, Mobei, and Moxi Mongolia fought with each other more than once, so that they were picked up by Jiannu.
In addition, the enemy chieftain Taiji has good means, and through marriage and Mo Nan Tatars, the benefits are shared, and the Mongolian elite soldiers are used for their own purposes, which forms a strong combat effectiveness.
In response to this, Emperor Chongzhen had small means to kill these beasts who were united by interests.
Of course, a thousand things and ten thousand can be despised strategically, but they must be defeated tactically.
In this way, they can be annihilated and reunited with the wild boar skins underground.
And the three super thugs in front of him are the best candidates for Emperor Chongzhen to fulfill his wish.
October 15 of the eighth year of Chongzhen is the day when 300 warriors join the Beijing camp, and it is also a good day for Emperor Chongzhen to hold a knife ceremony to improve the status of military generals.
Just after the hour, the sun accompanied by gusts of cold wind, whimpering in the camp of the West Mountain.
There are 30,000 soldiers standing in the large school field in front of the martial arts platform in the Beijing camp, and they are composed of the elite of the original Beijing camp and the soldiers who failed to make the list in the martial arts.
10,000 of them were elite soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion.
All wore uniformly colored helmets, and wore armor in the form of vests, with square necks, plackets, and no shawls on their shoulders.
The belt around the waist is made of yellow ribbon, and the middle of the belt is nailed with four gold-plated copper belt eyes.
There are three gilt copper round belt plates on each side, and there are square buckles under them, which can be used to hang bow bags, quivers, sabers and other weapons.
This is the standard configuration of the Beijing Army, and it is also the new military uniform specially created by Emperor Chongzhen for the Beijing Battalion and the Yongwei Battalion after the military reform, collectively referred to as the Beijing Army.
These two teams will cooperate with each other in the future.
If an army wants to become an army and become a strong army, one of the keys is to achieve uniform clothing.
The costumes are unified, and no matter how bad the team is, there will be some momentum.
This is actually a matter of mental outlook, and uniform clothing will increase the sense of belonging and honor of the soldiers.
Halfway through, the captain of the Jinyi Guard shouted in the distance: "The Son of Heaven has arrived!" ”
Suddenly, the drum music in the army sounded, and the school field suddenly stopped, and all the officers straightened their waists and stood solemnly under the leadership of Cao Wenzhao, the governor of the left capital, and Zhou Yuji, the chief officer of the Yongwei Battalion.
I saw Emperor Chongzhen, who was wearing a military uniform, taking steady steps and pulling the crown prince Zhu Cihong majestically onto the high platform.
It was followed by the civil and military officials of the court led by the first assistant Wen Tiren, who were on the left and right.
This scene was very solemn and solemn, and the hundred officials of the Chinese military and the young prince all came to the platform, which undoubtedly made the soldiers below excited and excited.
The emperor attaches great importance to the warriors, which is a good thing for them to like to rush.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the governor of Pontus has been training the Beijing camp and crusading against foreign enemies for nearly a month.
Today, thanks to the emperor's trust, and the loyalty of the soldiers, the Beijing camp finally has a small scale.
In order to build a new Beijing camp and establish an invincible iron army, the emperor carried forward the spirit of obedience to orders, sincere unity, courage and strength, and indomitable spirit.
Today's award ceremony was specially held for the Beijing Army, long live the emperor, long live, long live! ”
Everything was decided, and the flat-headed brother Cao Wenzhao turned around and roared loudly at the soldiers behind him.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
On the school field, 30,000 soldiers, under the leadership of Cao Wenzhao, knelt on one knee and roared in unison.
The shouts pierced the sky and pierced the sky, and it lasted for a long time!
