It's really not good without Huang Degong in charge.

Even with Huang Degong's presence, there were still forks in the whole army this time, and several towns in Gaojie's old department mutinied of different scales, and several generals even openly wanted to pull away the team to join Jiannu.

Because they had foreseen that they were about to lose their military power.

Chongzhen's reorganization of the army this time is obviously going to the military power of the generals.

There were also several members of the general army who instigated the mutiny, and after the failure to do so, they took advantage of the chaos and ran away.

However, in the end, under the deterrence of Huang Degong's 60,000 army and 1,000 Yiding, Chongzhen quickly calmed down the situation and killed six generals and more than 20 sentinels.

It took two days, and the whole army was initially completed.

Except for the ten towns under Huang Degong's command, which only reduced the average number of people in each town by 1,000, the border armies of the remaining 18 towns were all broken up and organized in a sentry unit, and then reorganized.

That is to say, all the posts of officers above the sentry level have been transferred, and the adjutants, guerrillas, and staff generals under the command of the general army have all been transferred from other towns, and the generals under the command of the adjutant generals, guerrillas, and staff generals have also been transferred from other battalions, and the sentry officers below the general command have also been transferred from other general officers.

Only the basic combat units below the outpost are not mixed.

In comparison, the average deployment of troops in the twenty-eight towns is not a big deal.

However, this time the whole army basically had no impact on the low-level soldiers, and they still loved Chongzhen the same, because from the perspective of soldiers, Chongzhen was indeed a good emperor.

Because Chongzhen not only paid them, but also gave them full food.

However, the impact of the whole army on officers and senior generals is great.

Especially the high-ranking generals, not only were the families around them deprived, but the officers under their command were also transferred from other towns, so if there was no emperor's will, they would not even be able to command a single soldier.

Re-cultivating cronies? The devil knows that it will be cultivated until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the Horse.

And you don't have the right to pay for food in your hands, even if you are the chief soldier, no one will bird you.

Through this rectification, Chongzhen can be regarded as truly mastering the eighteen towns.

Because he really grabbed the money bag.

However, there was also a certain price, that is, a decline in combat effectiveness.

This rectification has made the soldiers ignorant of the generals and the soldiers will not know the soldiers, and the combat effectiveness will certainly be weakened.

However, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army has been weakened to a certain extent, so Chongzhen is not afraid of weakening a few more points, and as long as the salary and logistics can keep up, the combat effectiveness will soon be restored.

As for Huang Degong's ten towns, Chongzhen does not plan to have major surgery for the time being.

Because these ten towns are shouldering the heavy responsibility of the first battle.

After the rectification was completed, Huang Degong took the ten towns north to Xia Town.

The remaining eighteen towns, including Hu Maozhen and Wang Zuntan, also acted quickly.

Ten towns were stationed in Xuzhou, and eight towns were moved to Pizhou as the left and right support of the Huanghuai defense line.

Then the border army of these eighteen towns took Xuzhou City and Pizhou City as the center, and also began to repair the platform with all their might.

Chongzhen himself was stationed in Xuzhou with 1,000 Yiding and 3,000 Jiading, which were organized into a separate town, but lived in the military camp outside the city from beginning to end.

Chongzhen is actually a ruthless person.

Whether in the past life or in this life, you can endure hardships.

A day later, the first batch of ships transporting the army finally arrived in Xuzhou.

This batch of boats did not depart from Yangzhou, but from Shanyang, so they arrived in Xuzhou as soon as possible.

Along with the arrival of the transport army, there are more than 200 ships and 40,000 stone military rations, with this batch of military rations, Chongzhen can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and finally no longer have to sing empty city plans.

Because the grain stock in the Xuzhou Treasury is about to bottom out.

140,000 soldiers eat horses, which is not a small number.

140,000 people have to eat nearly 2,000 stone of grain every day.

There are also more than 20,000 donkeys, mules, cattle and war horses, which have to eat 200,000 catties of hay every day, and each war horse has to eat about 5 catties of concentrate every day.

In short, the urgent need for grain and grass has been lifted.

The defensive deployment of the entire Xuzhou defense line was also basically arranged.

Chongzhen was finally able to spare time to select a suitable general soldier for the three thousand families.

But Chongzhen went through the nobles and generals around him, and couldn't find a suitable candidate.

In terms of loyalty, Gong Yonggu, the captain of the horses, and the four of them are very loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but their ability is not good, and none of these four nobles can fight.

In terms of ability, Hu Guozhu is competent.

Although Hu Guozhu is young, he is experienced in a hundred battles, and he is skilled in archery and horses, and can command troops.

But he would never dare to let Chongzhen hand over the three thousand family members to Hu Guozhu, at least in a short period of time, the Hu family's father and son would never be able to reuse.

Who knows if they'll run away with their soldiers?

As for the ten generals such as Wu Jiaotan and Mengke Rabbit, of course, their abilities are enough.

However, they are Mongolians, while the 3,000 families are all Han Chinese, and they are all Han people who are highly skilled and self-conscious, and it is difficult for them to control the Wutan charcoal.

The rest are goods like Xu Dingguo and Ding Qiguang.

These people are incapable and loyal enough, so they definitely can't do it.

Chongzhen looked around for a long time and found that only Jin Xuan, a member of the military department, was suitable, Jin Xuan knew the soldiers and was skilled in arching and horses, and his loyalty to Daming was unquestionable.

The only thing is that Kim Hyun is a civilian official.

The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty despised the military generals very much.

For example, Li Rusong has become a commander, but he is still a reckless man in the eyes of civil officials.

Another example is that Qi Jiguang became the governor of the left capital, the young protector and the prince Taibao, but he was still looked down upon by the civil official group, and he still needed to be cautious when he saw the civil official, and a seven-grade official could handle him.

So Chongzhen is not sure if Kim Hyun is willing to be the chief soldier.

What's more, Chongzhen is also worried that the civilian community will oppose it.

Because there was such a precedent in the memory of "Chongzhen".

Zhang Renxue, the former Henan Governor, took the initiative to change from a civilian official to a general soldier in anger because those reinforcements were unwilling to enter the army to fight the thieves, and as a result, he was fiercely condemned by the civilian group.

Therefore, Chongzhen is going to engage in a temporary general military inspector military.

The only problem is that you need to get the consent of Kim Hyun himself first.

As a result, Kim Hyun's reaction was unexpected by Chongzhen.

"Yes." After listening to Chongzhen, Jin Xuan said without thinking, "As long as the Ming Dynasty needs it, the saint needs it, not to mention letting the minister temporarily take charge of the general army, he will be the general minister without complaint." ”

"I've written down everything Aiqing said today." Chongzhen nodded happily and said, "However, these family members are all arrogant soldiers, and you may need to put a little more effort into beating." ”

"Remember." Kim Hyun waved his hand and said again.

"If the saint has no other orders, the minister will go to perform his duties."

"Go ahead." Chongzhen said happily, "Don't forget to tell those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals for me, they are given double salaries, the monthly salary is four taels, the salary is still double, and the battle salary can still be tripled!" ”

Only with heavy rewards will there be brave men, and elite soldiers are piled up with heavy gold.

With Kim Hyun temporarily taking charge of the general army, the formation of an army of 3,000 families is just around the corner.

With these 3,000 families and 1,000 yiding, the Huanghuai defense line will have another layer of insurance.

Because even if there is danger on the local battlefield, these 4,000 elite soldiers can also plug the leak in time.

It took half a month to finally sort out the Xuzhou defense line, and the key defense lines in Xiazhen, Xuzhou and Pizhou are also in full swing, and it is time to consider the problem of Shandong.

It's the twenty-sixth day of May, and it's going to be June in four days.

According to historical records, Dolgon sent Wu Weihua and Wang Aoyong to recruit Shanxi and Shandong respectively in June, but there is no record of the specific date.

So if you want to compete with Jiannu for Shandong, you have to do it.

Chongzhen began to pick up the manpower in front of him again, and several civil officials who broke the siege together except for Jin Xuan and Wang Jiayan have all stayed in Nanjing, and the four nobles are all useless goods, and Jin Yiwei commanded Li Ruolian to investigate the case, and let him be the governor of Shandong alone, which must be harming him.

Pick and choose, but none of them are useful.

Just when Chongzhen was thinking about whether to send an urgent delivery to Nanjing to transfer someone to come, he rushed over with high excitement.

"Boom!" The two Yiding stepped forward to stop Gao Qidive and put the bright scimitar around his neck.

"Hooray." Gao Qiqian was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and said, "Prince! His Royal Highness the Prince! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has news, wow! There is also news for King Ding and King Yong! ”

"Prince?" Chongzhen waved his hand.

Yi Ding put away his knife and retreated, and Gao Qiqian was able to get closer.

Gao Qiqian gasped and said: "Long live Lord, Henan Patrol sent an urgent report from Yushi Chen Qianfu, saying that he received His Royal Highness the Crown Prince near Cao County, and he was coming to Xuzhou." ”

……

Dolgon went to Zhangjiakou, and on the way back, he passed through Changping Prefecture, so he took the escort to Tianshou Mountain to have a look.

There are also three Hanchens such as Hong Chengchou, Ning Wanme and Fan Wencheng.

Although Dolgon hated Huang Taiji for stealing his throne and hated Huang Taiji's concubines for taking them over, he inherited Huang Taiji's ideas politically, and paid special attention to the Han people's vassals.

Looking at the Ming Tombs distributed at the foot of Tianshou Mountain, Dolgon couldn't help but chant aloud: "How many imperial things in ancient and modern times have been paid to future generations. ”

"yes." Fan Wencheng said, "From now on, it will be the world of my Qing Dynasty." ”

Hong Chengchou hesitated a little and said, "Regent, the minister is unhappy if he doesn't say a word. ”

"You're trying to persuade me to cancel the shaving order, aren't you?" Dolgon said abruptly, "Shaving hair and making it easy to obey is the ancestral system, and the iron rules set by the Taizu Dynasty are the ones who dare to waste lightly." ”

Hong Chengchou frowned and said: "The ancestral system of shaving hair and being easy to obey naturally has to follow ......"

"Then go ahead and follow it." Before Hong could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Dolgon.

Hong Chengchou could only close his mouth depressedly, but he was very confused in his heart.

The heart said that Dorgon was very wise in other things, why was he so stubborn in shaving his hair and dressing it? Is it really so important to shave a money rattail hairstyle for the Han gentry?

Dorgon flicked his horsewhip and hurried his horse away.

More than 100 cavalry guards also urged their horses to follow.

Fan Wencheng came to Hong Chengchou and whispered: "Brother Hengjiu, the regent naturally has his considerations for doing this, you and I don't need to persuade anymore, just wait and see." ”
