Chapter 394: Outside Must Be Safe (Four Watches)

These more than 10,000 *** prisoners of war can't be simply killed, let alone released easily, they have to talk to Xiaozhuang!

Therefore, now Chongzhen feels that the northern border troubles that have plagued the Ming Dynasty for nearly a hundred years have basically been lifted.

As for expanding the territory, annexing the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia, and truly dominating the world, that was after the elimination of the Ming thieves.

If you go outside, you must first settle inside.

Next, Chongzhen plans to reorganize the soldiers and horses in Shanhaiguan, and then wait for the news of the Qing Dynasty.

In the next step, in addition to cleaning up the remnants of the thieves such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, there are also the four towns in Jiangbei, Zheng Zhilong, the big smuggling leader in southern Fujian, Zuo Liangyu in Wuhan, etc., and these warlords in the Ming Dynasty are not things one by one.

They eat the imperial food of the Ming Dynasty, but they don't want to serve the country loyally, they form a party to dig the corners of the Ming Dynasty, they disobey the yang of the court, they are afraid of the *** like a tiger, and they are even willing to be Han women as lackeys, and they have to be cleaned up one by one.

There are also red-haired demons entrenched in Taiwan and Macau, plus these martial arts forces in the rivers and lakes against the Ming Dynasty.

These are all stumbling blocks for Chongzhen.

If Chongzhen wants to practice the exercises, he must be a good emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and if he wants to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he must completely eliminate these anti-Ming forces.

Chongzhen thought in his heart, the road under his feet was still very long.

Next, Chongzhen passed the decree, the whole army congratulated the victory, and Chongzhen's 30,000 horses and horses contracted the peak, all of which were concentrated in the Shanhaiguan area.

Then the cattle were slaughtered and the sheep were slaughtered, the meat mountain and the sea of wine, except for the soldiers and generals on patrol duty, the whole army had a big holiday, and the whole day was to eat, drink and have fun, eat and drink, sing and dance, and celebrate for three days at once.

Chongzhen now has silver, and only the spoils of these wars can be squandered for some days.

Chongzhen is not stingy when it comes to spending money.

Especially for the subject soldiers, they will be willing to spend money, which is another means of pouring chicken soup on you.

The news that Shanhaiguan has won the battle has spread far and wide.

Now there is a war going on in the Gyeonggi area of the Ming Dynasty, and Li Zicheng's Dashun army was defeated all the way to the area of Beizhili. The 30,000 horses of Duoduo and Azig and the thousands of Guan Ning troops of Wu Sangui chased here.

In addition to fighting, whether it was Wu Sangui's so-called Ming army, or Li Zicheng's thieves, or 30,000 ***, they burned and looted all the way.

Only by such means as a logistical supply for the war.

The people along the way were miserable and fled one after another.

I heard that the emperor is now in Shanhaiguan, and he has lost thieves and ***, the common people rushed to tell each other, some cried and kowtowed to the sky, thanking God, God bless, God bless Daming, crying is tears and snot.

Then these refugees who were eager to take refuge in Shanhaiguan one after another.

There are also those ordinary people who were cleared away by Wu Sangui's Jianbi Qingye policy, after all, they have nowhere to go, and after turning around, they have all come back one after another.

As a result, there has been a surge in refugees in the Shanhaiguan area.

"Master, what should I do if there are so many refugees?" Wang Chengen kowtowed to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen said: "This is easy to do, resettle on the spot, and establish a refugee camp."

I had no place to live, pulled tents on the spot, built yurts, and seized so many trophies from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and I used them this time.

Soon a refugee camp was established on the banks of the West Stone River.

Then Chongzhen issued a decree to open a porridge field in the refugee camp for bereavement, so that the people could not starve to death.

Chongzhen took Wang Chengen and dozens of brocade guards to stand at the head of the city.

Looking at the endless stream of refugees lined up into several long queues, holding bowls of porridge to drink, Wang Chengen had a bitter look on his face, so many refugees, how much food do they have to consume in a day?

Wouldn't it be a waste of time to continue like this?

Chongzhen was overjoyed.

This is a good opportunity, I am now short of soldiers and horses, and I can't raise them in vain, so I immediately sent a decree to recruit soldiers and horses, and anyone who is young and strong can sign up for recruitment.

Now the Ming army in Shanhaiguan is only 30,000 people, and the Ming army also lost nearly 10,000 people in the last two Shanhaiguan battles. Including Jinyiwei, there are only 200 people left in the 500 Tianzi pro-army.

Combat attrition must be replenished in a timely manner.

Outside Shanhaiguan

Every day, a large number of refugees line up to receive porridge and drink, and the battalions of the Tianxiong New Army take turns here to maintain order.

Chongzhen's will came out, and there was an explosion of people who signed up to eat food and become soldiers. In just a few days, nearly 100,000 people signed up.

Of course, these people did not have to touch their heads, but after selection, they left 20,000 strong people and issued them guns and armor, which of course were ready-made.

The rest are willing to drink porridge here to save their lives, but they are not willing to fend for themselves.

Then Chongzhen ordered Wang Chengen to train the 20,000 new troops, and in order to expand the Jinyi Guard in time, he carefully selected from the 20,000 new troops.

Shanhaiguan set up a martial arts arena, and these newly recruited recruits, all who can win ten people, whether they are continuous battles or group fights, are all selected as Jinyi Guards.

In addition, in the 30,000 Tianxiong New Army, those meritorious soldiers who can fight will be selected as Jinyi Guard, and awarded the corresponding titles.

In less than a week, the Jinyi guards in the Son of Heaven's pro-military camp exceeded 1,000 people, except for Yang Wanli, Han Yin, Tang Wancai and Li Youniang and his wife, these old Jinyi guards,

Including Li Moran, Ma Bao, Gu Shunyi, etc., these three generals are also in the camp of the Son of Heaven's pro-army Jinyiwei.

plus Tang Wancai and Li Miniang, a total of five congenital masters, their official positions are not high, but they directly serve the emperor and are the emperor's personal guards.

Of course, the army of the Son of Heaven was directly subordinate to Chongzhen, the great emperor, and was still led by Yang Wanli and Han Yin, the great eunuch Wang Chengen.
