Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 233
"Your Majesty, the end of the war starts from the beginning, and along the way, I have truly seen how difficult it is for ordinary people to become a qualified soldier!" Yuan Shizhong said with a sincere expression, "Brute force alone cannot compete with the elite soldiers." Soldiers fight."

Having said that, he raised his voice a little, obviously intending to emphasize what he said next: "The end general has seen many examples. Many people who think they are fierce and brave, when they actually kill people, the blood splatters and the broken limbs fly around. Sometimes, you will be frightened, or become hacked and killed, or your hands and feet will tremble, in short, you will not be able to control yourself."

Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly upon hearing his words.

Yuan Shizhong was born as a thief, and he said these words from his own experience.According to what he said, most of the recruits in the Beijing Camp and the Yongwei Battalion have to be discounted!
When he was thinking this way, he heard Yuan Shizhong continue to say: "However, the new recruits in the Jingying and Yongwei camps are different from the generals at the time. After all, they are trained, not the spontaneity of the generals." The general believes that the recruits of water workers must be stronger than the subordinates of the general at that time."

Huang Degong, Sun Yingyuan and others didn't look very good after hearing what he said.But at this time, when he heard the words behind him, his expression changed obviously.

Of course, it's not too obvious.You will only find out if you observe carefully.

At this moment, Yuan Shizhong changed the subject again and said: "However, what the Jingying and Yongweiying are facing now should be the strongest Jianren in the world. The general will be worried, if someone sees blood for the first time, or When killing someone for the first time, even if you don’t panic, as long as you are affected, you may be seized by Jianlu. Of course, the last general is not saying that you can’t beat Jianlu, but just thinking, Your Majesty requires this battle to be a great victory, and to minimize Loss, just thinking about it, it's better to mention it!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he felt that it was true!
The imperial army has always had a small victory in the battle against Jianlu, but the final outcome must be the defeat of the imperial army!
So much so that later, the court officers and soldiers changed their expressions when they heard about Jianlu.Even in the early years of Chongzhen, when Qin soldiers were transferred to Liaodong, there was a mutiny on the way. In order not to go to Liaodong, he became a deserter and joined the bandit rebellion.

Now that all these years have passed, the situation is even more serious.

Jianlu entered the customs several times and swept across the capital, and the imperial army only dared to follow.So much so that Jianlu put up a sign, saying that the imperial court officers and soldiers would be free of delivery when they left the customs.

The only good thing is that the Yongwei Camp is not afraid of Jianlu. According to the information provided by Liu Weichao, in the original history, Xiaoyuanying was not afraid of Jianlu.At the end of this year, I heard that Jianlu was raging in Ludi, and he would go north to fight against Jianlu.

However, for those waterworkers, they had to face such a powerful enemy in the first battle, even if they trained a lot, they might have some problems!
Perhaps it was also the reason why Emperor Chongzhen thought that when Yuan Shizhong's small Yuan battalion was not an imperial army, he heard that the Jian captives were raging, so they dared to fight, which was far better than those imperial army.He became very kind, and asked Yuan Shizhong in a friendly tone with a little encouragement: "Then does Yuan Aiqing have any solution?"

Yuan Shizhong didn't expect Emperor Chongzhen's attitude to be so good, and he was really encouraged. He quickly replied: "The general thought that the Beijing camp and the Yongwei camp are already training with live ammunition anyway, so it's better to send troops out of Beijing in batches, so that they can fight in the capital city." Let the recruits see the blood. If you don’t want to reveal too much information, you can go to the south of the capital, or even go to Lu to suppress the thieves, and you can also bring peace to the people along the way.”

After speaking of this, he hesitated a little, but he still said to Emperor Chongzhen: "I just don't know when the Jian captives will enter the customs. If it is too late, it will affect the war against the captives. In addition, the general thought the best situation , to go back to Beijing to train for a while after taking turns in actual combat, and then go to fight Jianlu!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded when he heard that, and seeing Yuan Shizhong stopped talking, he turned his head to look at the others and asked, "What do you think about this?"

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen looking at him, Zhou Yuji immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the general thinks that what he said is reasonable. It is indeed necessary to see blood in actual combat, but he is just worried about time!"

After hearing this, Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong agreed, and they agreed with Zhou Yuji.

The three of them were originally from military households, and they came out of the army step by step.It's the way of the regular army, which is completely different from Yuan Shizhong's wild way.Therefore, in terms of ideas, there will be some slight differences.

It may also be that Yuan Shizhong often faces strong enemies, so he is more sensitive; while Zhou Yuji and the others are more likely to suppress thieves, and their own combat power is stronger than that of thieves;

Du Yinxi listened at the side, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, sending the Yongwei Battalion and the Jingying Battalion out of Beijing for rotation training is also of great benefit to local security. As long as they are not too far away, I believe there should be no problem. "

Emperor Chongzhen listened to them talking, and he was also thinking about it.

It is now the end of August, according to the original history, this time Jianlu entered the pass in early November.That's two months to go, if history hasn't changed.

Calculated in two months, it is possible to go to Shandong to suppress bandits.

However, in case of the butterfly effect mentioned by Liu Weichao, Jianlu may enter the customs early.This is not impossible, at least the eight major Shanxi merchants were ransacked and exterminated by themselves, and there are still a few who have not been caught, and they probably fled to Liaodong.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen said to the people in the house: "I estimate that Jianlu may enter the Kou Pass in about one to two months. Please wait and see, is this good?"

Having said that, he glanced at the crowd again and said: "Jinyiwei will give you five days to find out the distribution of bandits around the capital. After that, the Jingying and Yongweiying will select the most in need of actual combat. It takes half a month to destroy the bandits from far and near, and you must return to Beijing after no more than one month at most. If the Jian captives come, they will fight; if the Jian captives have not yet entered the bandits, they will be training in the capital."

After hearing this, Du Yinxi was the first to speak in agreement: "Your Majesty's strategy is very clever, I admire you!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhou Yuji and the others had no objection after hearing this, and they all echoed and offered flattery.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was a little worried, and said to them: "You don't have to worry about me. This is in the stage of military discussions. If you have any ideas, feel free to add them. Just now Yuan Aiqing performed well, and I am very satisfied! "

In the past, he mostly listened to those civil servants telling him how to do it!But now, he also began to use his own brain to come to a conclusion based on the suggestions and opinions of his courtiers.

As for what he said just now, it was said that the speaker was innocent during the military discussion stage, and Emperor Chongzhen heard it from Liu Weichao.He thought it was very good, and he tried it himself.

But he didn't know that his actions not only did not make his courtiers despise them, but made them all feel awed, feeling that the emperor must have been instructed by Emperor Taizu to become so wise and mighty.

Even though there was no opinion, Emperor Chongzhen was also very satisfied, so he said to them: "Since Zhuqing has no other additions, it's settled like this."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to Li Ruolian, commander of Jinyiwei, and said, "Qing's mission is final, so you can go back to Yamen for deployment first."

When Li Ruolian heard this, he didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately replied: "The last general obeys the order!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately exited the house and left in a hurry.

Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen looked at another person who didn't speak much, and said, "I just said that in the battle of Jizhou, the key is whether Jizhou can hold it. If necessary, take over the defense of Jizhou, defend Jizhou, and wait until the reinforcements arrive, okay?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being very surprised!
It is no problem to inspect Jizhou, and it is no problem to take over the defense of Jizhou. The key point is that the object of Emperor Chongzhen's speech makes them strange.

Because this person was originally just Jiangyin Dianshi, he did a good job in the Zhongcheng Military and Horse Command Department, and was quickly promoted to the Beijing Camp as a general.With such a resume, how can I take on this important task?
That's right, they had doubts about Yan Yingyuan's ability, and felt that the emperor was so wise and powerful just now, why suddenly something went wrong again.

With such an important responsibility, why should one be chosen among Zhou Yuji, Sun Yingyuan or Huang Degong?

They naturally didn't know that because of Liu Weichao, Emperor Chongzhen knew that although Yan Yingyuan was only a Jiangyin classic history, he was able to lead the people of Jiangyin, not even a regular army, and defend Jiangyin for 81 days during the continuous increase of troops. Long!
As for Yan Yingyuan's ability to defend the city, at least in Emperor Chongzhen's opinion, it was definitely very powerful, and it was even possible that it was stronger than everyone else present.

Based on this idea, of course he has to hand over the burden of guarding Jizhou to the original Jiangyin Dianshi who is an excellent defender of the city!
What he did was unexpected even by Yan Yingyuan himself, so it was quite surprising.

But when he saw the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen looking at him, full of trust, he suddenly felt his blood rushing up. He had the feeling that a scholar would die for his confidant. Without saying a word, he clasped his fists and replied firmly Played: "The last general will live up to His Majesty's trust!"

The people around were a little dumbfounded when they saw it. One dared to entrust and the other dared to take over, which was beyond their expectations!
When he came back to his senses, Du Yinxi really wanted to say something, but seeing Emperor Chongzhen's so confident appearance, after finally thinking about it, he still didn't say anything.

On the contrary, Zhou Yuji, who had a lot of contact with Yan Yingyuan during this period, said, "The general thinks that Yan Shen will be fine!"

He said so, and the others just wanted to question it, so they stopped talking.
