Chapter 224: The Son of Heaven's Army (Four Watches)

The nine gates are also called a piece of stone, the same as Shanhaiguan, located on the Great Wall, and the two passes are thirty miles apart.

However, Chongzhen found that this pass is not big, 30,000 horses and horses guarding the pass has the maximum capacity, no matter how many soldiers and horses have to be stationed outside the pass, after the adaptation of Xiang Yong, it is 30,000 troops, it seems to be a tailor-made city for him.

Chongzhen admired, this is really providence!

After taking over Sekijo, the first priority was, of course, to collect the prisoners. Now there are only 10,000 horses, and 20,000 village brave prisoners have to become his combat power.

Without further ado, this matter was still handed over to Wang Chengen.

"Old slave commands."

Wang Chengen is full of promises, and Wang Chengen has done a lot with this Chongzhen about the collection of prisoners, and he is definitely familiar with the road and knows it well.

There is no need for the emperor to come forward again, let the battalion officer Li Meng bring out Leng Yundeng, Lu Mingzhang and Ma Xingquan first, and Wang Chengen went to that station to explain that the three generals were all stupid.

After making trouble for a long time, they were all fooled by the Emperor Ming, and there was no one else......

Then Wang Chengen pointed out two ways to them, one way is to follow Wu Sangui and Gao Di, the two Ming rebels, in that case, they will be beheaded immediately!

The other is that they are truly loyal to the Ming Dynasty and loyal to Emperor Chongzhen, and they can be released to make meritorious contributions and accept the adaptation.

None of the three generals lacked heart, no need to weigh it, knelt down again and spoke in unison, willing to take the second way.

But where there is a glimmer of life, who wants to lose their heads?

Besides, they were originally the generals of the Ming Dynasty, and Xiang Yong just hasn't turned into a regular yet. Wu Sangui and Gao Di must have annoyed the emperor, and the Son of Heaven was furious and designated them as rebels, so they can only blame themselves, can they follow them to lose their heads?

Just do it!

Then let Leng Yundeng, Lu Mingzhang, and Ma Xingquan, the three generals, do the work of Xiangyong, in fact, as long as their mouths convey Wang Chengen's orders.

20,000 Xiangyong was a little silly at first, but they soon accepted it happily. Is there a better errand than following the emperor directly?

Anyway, they are all Ming troops, and with Wu Sangui Gaodi, they are just a townsman, and there is no official establishment. Now that they are all regular troops of the imperial court, where can they find such a good thing?

According to Chongzhen's will, Wang Chengen then rearranged the battle sequence of 20,000 Xiangyong, including 10,000 Tianxiong New Army, all in a disordered order.

The 20,000 Xiangyong were incorporated into it, that is, the Tianxiong New Army, which has now expanded from 10,000 horses to 30,000 horses.

From the original three battalions to the current six battalions.

In addition, those with good skills and certain martial arts skills will be selected from each battalion, and a new Jinyi guard will be established, and a total of 500 people will be selected.

There are eunuchs around the emperor, how can he do it without Jinyiwei? This is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven.

Most of these 500 people were brought by Li Meng from Gujiazhai, and a small number of them were drawn from major battalions, temporarily led by Gu Shunyi, a congenital master, and subordinate to Wang Chengen, the chief manager of the Great Interior, who was directly responsible to the emperor.

After the adjustment of the troops, the appointment of battalion officers began to be appointed.

"Liu Chongxi, the commander of the first battalion, has 5,000 men; Leng Yundeng, the chief soldier of the second battalion, has 5,000 men and horses; Zhou Qing, the commander of the third battalion, has 5,000 men, and Li Meng, the superintendent of the fourth battalion, has 5,000 men; The five battalions were all under the command of Lu Mingzhang 5000; The six battalions are in charge of Ma Quanxing, and the number of men and horses in the department is 4,500."

Chongzhen personally issued a decree to seal them on official positions.

Liu Chongxi is still the commander-in-chief of the first battalion of the Tianxiong New Army, but he originally had jurisdiction over 4,000 men and horses, and now he has jurisdiction over 5,000 men and horses, and his power has obviously expanded.

Leng Yundeng was originally Wu Sangui's deputy general, and his official position was deputy commander-in-chief, but now the word "deputy" has been removed, and he has become the leader of a battalion, in charge of 5,000 soldiers and horses, Leng Yundeng is grateful.

Zhou Qing is similar to Leng Yundeng, he is Bai Guangen's deputy general, but he has a low position in the army, just a thousand generals, and now he has become the leader of a battalion, with 5,000 soldiers and horses.

There is also Li Meng, who led the 500 regiments in Gujiazhai for training, and now he has also become the leader of a battalion, commanding 5,000 troops.

Therefore, these two generals knelt down to thank the emperor and thanked him.

But the most grateful are Lu Mingzhang and Ma Xingquan, these two were originally the co-commanders of Wu Sangui and Gao Di's Xiangyong, but now they have become court officials, commanding four or five thousand soldiers and horses.

Therefore, the two of them were moved to cry and kowtow.

These three generals are still said to be guilty, and they haven't made meritorious contributions, and they have all been promoted to such a big official, how can they be honest with the emperor?

Although it is said that the general army and the governor (here it is different from the capital of the Qing Dynasty), they were temporary military attachés during wartime, and they were disbanded after the battle.

But this is also a rare opportunity to be loyal to the country and serve the court, not to mention that it is the emperor's personal order!

Even if he died on the battlefield, he also had an official reputation, a wife and a son, and he will forever be in the annals of the Ming Dynasty.

They felt that it was too worthwhile to abandon Wu Sangui and Gao Di and follow the emperor!

But Chongzhen feels that it is more worthwhile, in order to win people's hearts, make a wish for an official, and add an official to the knighthood, he has never been stingy, and as long as he has money, he is willing to spend money.

After all, that's making people die for him!

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
