Everyone came back to their senses, hurriedly received the order, and followed the emperor towards the school field where the chariot was parked.

However, after walking less than a hundred and ten steps, Zhu Qiyu suddenly stopped, turned back to everyone and said, "I'm not partial, I want to treat you differently from the guards."

At the beginning, the only people who were willing to follow me were 10,000 personal guards, so I spent all my money on them at that time.

I have all this money in my hand now, and I really can't afford to give you the same reward. ”

Xu Heng, Fan Guang and others hurriedly stated: "It is right for the soldiers to kill the enemy and serve the country, how can they not be willing to move forward bravely because they have no money." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, our Ming army is all good." I don't have a lot of money, but I'm not going to let them all lie in the vault and get moldy.

I have already given 10,000 war horses to the Marquis of Xing'an, and I will give you another 200,000 taels to reward the soldiers.

There are many men under Fan Dudu, so I will give you 10,000 war horses and 300,000 taels of silver to reward the soldiers.

Hao Gong has 2,000 elite imperial horse supervisors under his command, and I will give you 100,000 taels of silver and 5,000 war horses. ”

Everyone was stunned again when they heard this, if the value of the war horse was converted, the emperor would pay a million taels of silver as soon as he opened his mouth.

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "What, too little?" If you don't think it's enough, I've got some gold there. ”

"Enough, enough, thank you, Your Majesty."

Only then did everyone come back to their senses and quickly knelt down to thank them.

Zhu Qiyu said to Wang Tong again: "Chengshan Hou, I have two choices for you: first, I will allocate 10,000 soldiers and horses under your command. and give you 10,000 horses and 200,000 taels of silver.

Second, I want to build another guard, and all the treatment will be exactly the same as my current one. Before the war, only a standard guard of 5,000 people could be organized, and after the war, it will be expanded into an elite team with a total number of 20,000 people. I hope that the Marquis of Chengshan will take charge of this pro-army for me.

And after becoming a mountain marquis, he can let his son and grandson continue to be in charge of this pro-army. Just as I promised, the three generations of Chengshan Marquis will make meritorious contributions, leave a name in history, and hate with snow. ”

The conditions offered by the emperor were so generous that Wang Tong didn't want to think about it, so he immediately knelt down and swore allegiance: "Weichen is willing to take charge of the personal guard for His Majesty, do his best, and die." ”

"Okay, Chengshanhou get up quickly, let's watch the chariot together."

Several of the close generals were given silver and war horses, and the atmosphere soon became enthusiastic.

Zhu Qiyu spent more than one million taels in a few words, but he was not distressed at all.

Compared with the momentum brought by tens of thousands of troops loyal to the emperor, compared to the great military exploits brought by tens of thousands of Tartar heads, and compared to the supreme prestige brought to the emperor by the defeat of Warat, only one or two million taels of silver is nothing.

The next part of looking at the chariot is that people are relatively calm. The emperor's personal guards used ordinary Ming army chariots, but the number was a bit large.

Zhu Qiyu explained with a smile: "Yu Shangshu of the Ministry of War allocated me 300 chariots, and Jinyiwei built me another 300. The amount seems to be a little bit more. So I decided to take out 200 of them, and when I robbed the camp at night, I used them as disposable consumables. ”

Everyone became interested, and Xu Heng asked, "How does Your Majesty plan to use it?" ”

"It's very simple, pull the artillery with a chariot at night, and then open fire on the battalion of Warat, and after firing the cannon, destroy both the chariot and the artillery. Let the soldiers of the night attack run back to the camp on horseback. ”

Xu Heng nodded: "I understand, the first night I came from Wara, I have been harassing like this. I don't really attack, just toss the enemy like this. Wait for the enemy to slack off, and then launch a real night attack to crush the enemy in one fell swoop. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "We have been focusing on training night combat tactics, and we have been practicing for a long time, just waiting for the first battle to be famous." ”

Fan Guang also became enthusiastic when he heard this: "Your Majesty, we are also going to participate in the night attack." ”

"This must be kept absolutely secret, and you can't tell your subordinates, let alone anyone else. In our Ming army, there are also people who collaborate with the enemy.

When the time comes, I will let the guards attack at night, and after the Warat army bombs up the camp, you will reorganize your army to respond.

It's easier to kill the rout, just stay around the camp and wait for the head to be picked. It's my personal guard who contributes to you. ”

The generals were overjoyed when they heard this, the emperor was really generous, and everyone could be said to have chosen a great credit for nothing.

After seeing the chariot, Xu Heng, like Yu Qian, also asked to go to the army's room again.

So Zhu Qiyu also led everyone to have a meal in the room, and then came to the Chinese army's tent to sit down.

Xu Heng and others praised repeatedly: "This food is really good, Your Majesty's personal guards are definitely the best treated army in our Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhu Qiyu looked around at everyone, and then had a confidential meeting. Those present here are all henchmen who can participate in secrets: Xing'an Hou, Chengshan Hou, Fan Guang; Xu Tong, Gu Zhong, Zhao Xuan, and Liu Chang in the personal guard; plus Hao Yi and He Yi, there are a total of nine people.

These people are in charge of a total of 50,000 troops defending the northern city, and whether the new monarch can fight a battle to achieve supreme prestige depends on these people in front of him.

Zhu Qiyu first gave everyone a solid answer: "We have three main opportunities to kill the enemy: the first time is outside the Desheng Gate, the first time the Warat army took the initiative to attack. We're going to have to do enough foreshadowing to make Warat scornful enough to catch them off guard.

The second was a night attack, and on the last night of their retreat from the capital, they entered the Warat camp when their defense was at its lax and morale was at its lowest. I predict that this night attack will be the most successful battle.

The third time was the pursuit battle after the retreat of Warat. This time, the imperial court will send a total of 100,000 troops to chase and kill. After Warat comes to the city of Beijing, I will send a strange army to guard the Bauhinia Pass.

When Warat withdrew, we had Bauhinia Pass on one end and 100,000 troops on the other, blocking Warat in the middle. Until we leave enough people to build a Jingguan first, let's let him go. ”

Xu Heng asked: "Your Majesty, if you want to pursue the Warat cavalry on the plains, I'm afraid it will not be easy. ”

Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile: "What Xing'an Hou said makes sense, it must be very difficult for an army of 100,000 improvised to pursue 40,000 or 50,000 cavalry in Wara. But what if those days coincided with days of heavy rain and snow? ”

"How can Your Majesty be sure that there will be rain and snow in those days?"

Zhu Qiyu pretended to smile mysteriously: "As long as I really have a destiny, there will definitely be heavy rain and snow in those days." Whether I am the true son of heaven or not will be verified by myself at that time. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other. Most people actually believed it, really took this to heart, and waited for the time to verify the authenticity.

Zhu Qiyu took everyone to discuss the specific details of the battle again, and then dispersed.

Xu Heng, Fan Guang and others returned to their homes, and Zhu Qiyu did not go home, but took He Yi and Liu Chang to wander around the capital, ready to see the effect of their propaganda in the past few days.
