Zhu Youzhen only stayed in Shanhaiguan for a total of two days, because Ningjin was the front line after all, and it was impossible for Wu Xiang or Zu Dashou and other generals to leave their posts to meet the driver, so Zhu Youzhen only inspected the Shanhaiguan garrison with Yuan Chonghuan in Shanhaiguan.

There are not many soldiers stationed in Shanhaiguan now, and there are only 5,000 people when they are full, and they are all new recruits of the Guanning Army.

The veterans are all on the front line, and Shanhaiguan now belongs to the rear.

Although they are all recruits, their mental outlook still makes Zhu Youzhen very satisfied.

"The soldiers are well trained."

On the temporary inspection platform in the school field, Zhu Youjian overlooked from the height, and said to Yuan Chonghuan with great satisfaction: "No wonder Cao Bianjiao has always told me that he learned from Chonghuan in his military training, it's amazing, recruits can train like this." ”

Yuan Chonghuan smiled and humbly conceded: "Your Majesty has a good reputation, and the ministers dare not be ashamed." ”

"True ability is true ability, there is no need to be humble." Zhu Youzhen preached, and then looked at Wang Chengen: "Big companion, send a reward, ten taels per person, a pound of wine and meat, this is the meal added by the imperial court to the soldiers in the New Year, and the festival silver is issued." ”

"Huh."

Wang Chengen received the order to do it, and the five thousand soldiers under the review stage held their necks high, thinking that the legendary emperor was just coming to inspect the school and go through the motions, and no one expected that so many good things would be distributed.

There was food, and drink, and silver.

At the end of the year, it is natural that my heart is hot.

I don't know who led the way, the voice of my emperor long live sounded one after another, and finally mixed together, straight into the sky.

Although there are only 5,000 people, it is quite earth-shattering.

Zhu Youzhen looked down and couldn't help but sigh.

"It all shows that the army is not paid, and if it is full, it is invincible, Yuan Qing, do you know when this sentence first came from?"

Yuan Chonghuan twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while: "This word is only circulated among the people, and it should be from Chenghua after the first Rong Guogong ploughed the court and swept the holes." ”

"Then does Yuan Qing think this makes sense?"

"This..."Yuan Chonghuan glanced at Zhu Youzhen secretly, and said: "The minister thinks it is still very reasonable, the civil engineering fiasco back then, the Mongols, Jurchens and other barbarians all have the heart to underestimate my Ming Dynasty, but first Rong Guoguang was ordered to lead the army to conquer the Jurchen tribes at the time of crisis, and this battle was invincible, and the Jurchen killings collapsed, and greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers of our dynasty."

It can be seen that as long as the upper and lower levels are united, my Daming Erlang is still the world's first-class elite. ”

Zhu Youzhen hummed lightly: "However, sometimes it's difficult to work together, isn't it?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan just wanted to say a wise word by the way, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again.

The emperor did not come to fight the main battle, but to persuade the war, and this sentence of unity is precisely what he said to himself.

"Yes, I understand." Yuan Chonghuan gave up his hand and responded.

Zhu Youzhen then looked satisfied: "Okay, Qing can understand that I am very pleased, there are still many things in Beijing, I won't stay here longer, you can take the rest of the money, wine and meat to Ningjin and send it to the soldiers." ”

"Yes, the three armies of the ministers have thanked Your Majesty."

Zhu Youzhen did not delay much and returned to Beijing.

Ning Yuan, Yuan Chonghuan, who was depressed, returned to his superintendent yamen, with a depression visible to the naked eye on his face.

Wu Xiang followed and questioned carefully.

"Inspector, what did Your Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty said that let's stick to Ning Jin, don't use swords in vain." Yuan Chonghuan sighed: "Your Majesty, it's cowardly." ”

As soon as he heard this, Wu Xiangke was anxious: "Hold on? There are letters from Dongjiang Town, and now the country of Jiannu is rotten, and Daoye is starving, so this time is a great opportunity for our army to counterattack, and the recovery of the homeland is close at hand.

As long as the Taishi is behind enemy lines and our army is out of Xiping, it will be difficult for Huang Taiji to take care of both the beginning and the end.

What's more, now that our Ming Dynasty is no longer short of grain, Jiannu is in urgent need, and I heard that dou rice has been sold for eight taels of silver! This is a once-in-a-lifetime fighter, and the battle is together, and Huang Taiji will be exhausted in three months. ”

Yuan Chonghuan waved his hand: "Why didn't the Inspector tell His Majesty these words?" Your Majesty's concern is that we will not be Huang Taiji's opponents in three months. ”

"Joke!" Wu Xiang blurted out angrily, and then realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly changed his words: "Your Majesty said this because you don't understand the military strategy, and the last general and others will join forces to go to the court, and they will definitely persuade Your Majesty to allow us to ask for war." ”

Yuan Chonghuan was a little tempted, but he hesitated and shook his head to refuse.

"That's it, the king's order is greater than the sky, since His Majesty's decision has been decided, we will obey the orders of the courtiers."

"Will be outside, the king's order will not be affected."

Yuan Chonghuan raised his head in astonishment, and reprimanded angrily: "Nonsense! If there is any difference between this matter and Mao Wenlong, Ben Shuai just didn't hear this time, and next time he dares to say it, Ben Shuai will cure you for the crime of rebellion. ”

"Overseer."

"Stand down!"

Wu Xiang saw that Yuan Chonghuan was really angry, and his heart was also terrified, even if he was not angry in a thousand ways, he didn't dare to say anything at this moment, so he only hugged his fists and left.

In the Guanning department, Yuan Chonghuan still has prestige and can suppress the generals.

This is also the main reason why Zhu Youzhen obviously doesn't like Yuan Chonghuan's self-righteous personality and still entrusts Liaodong to him.

Except for Yuan Chonghuan, there are really not many commanders left in the Ming Dynasty who can take out their hands now.

Yuan Keli only has a prestige in the Denglai department, and he can't affect the Guanning department.

The army can be more serious than the mountaineering of the temple.

When you obey you, you obey your words, and when you don't obey, it's useless for you to carry Shang Fang's sword.

Especially at this time in the late Ming Dynasty, the central government had already lost its prestige in the local border army.

-----------------

"Your Majesty, can Yuan Chonghuan be obedient?"

After returning to the capital, Wang Chengen was still a little worried, and he proposed: "Do you want to send a prison army to Ningyuan?" ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head after thinking for a while: "Forget it, the dispatch of the prison army will only make Ning Yuan's army more dissatisfied with the imperial court, Yuan Chonghuan's personality is still clear, he is not a rebellious person like Mao Wenlong, although there are some minor problems, but he has a loyal heart, this is enough, don't talk about him, let Zhou Yanru come to visit." ”

"Huh."

Zhou Yanru received the summons and hurried to see the driver, but was stopped by Zhu Youzhen before he could salute.

"Yanru, the new policy will be implemented next year, you act as the governor of the sky, and Beizhili should be more attentive."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will do his best not to disappoint Your Majesty."

Zhu Youzhen reminded: "The most important point is to sink, the reform must sink, not float on the surface, the reason why the reform of the past dynasties and dynasties ended in a sloppy end, is because the surface cannot be sunk, we must not make this kind of mistake."

I called you here to remind you that if you can't convey the decree to the next level, you won't be asked about the following things, and this kind of reform will not succeed, understand? ”

Zhou Yanru bowed to the end: "The minister keeps it in mind, and he doesn't dare to forget it all night." ”

"Do this well, the previous things, and reveal them in one go."

Zhou Yanru raised his head suddenly, and then couldn't suppress his excitement and said in a trembling voice: "Minister, thank you Lord Longen!" ”
