Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 63 Time
"Huh?" Emperor Chongzhen was a little puzzled when he heard this, and snorted.

As soon as Zhou Yuji heard it, he quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the matter is like this."

As he said that, he gave Emperor Chongzhen an overview of what they were discussing.

The main reason is that considering the critical situation of the current battle, it is best to form combat power immediately after the expansion of the Yongwei Battalion, and the source of troops has become the key.

If this matter had been in the early years of Chongzhen, it would not have been a matter.You can go to various guards to mobilize elites to quickly form combat effectiveness.

But in the 15 years of Chongzhen, especially after the Battle of Songjin, the army capable of fighting has been wiped out, and there are really not many elites to take away.

In Zhou Yuji's opinion, instead of picking the better old fritters in the remaining guards, it's better to go directly to pick the Liangjiazi.

But the key issue is that for an ordinary good family, it may take a year and a half to train their combat effectiveness.But they also know that they simply don't have that much time to train recruits!
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen frowned. This is indeed a problem!
Of course what he wants is a strong army, an elite division that can fight, but he really doesn't have that much time.

Not to mention anything else, Liu Weichao once told him that the Central Plains War will soon come, Li Zicheng will win, and the army will be defeated.

In addition, Jianlu will invade the pass again in the second half of the year and plunder the place.

For all these things, he needs a strong army to deal with these crises.

Thinking of these imminent things, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's so difficult!

In desperation, he had no choice but to tell Zhou Yuji: "First select as much as possible from the various guards in the capital, and if there are any shortages, then replenish the good ones!"

"The last general obeys the order!" Zhou Yuji listened, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "The last general will go to choose in person, and he will be able to complete the expansion of the army as quickly as possible."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded after hearing this, but his mood did not relax at all.

Because he thought of it, Zhou Yuji was the first brave guard battalion to return to Beijing, and he should be able to select qualified soldiers.

However, after Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong returned from leading the army, based on Zhou Yuji's leftover selection, they would definitely not be able to transfer any more. What should they do?
I'm really worried!

Unable to think of a good solution, Emperor Chongzhen stopped thinking about it for the time being, and immediately said to Zhou Yuji: "I brought all your military salaries for this month, call the soldiers and send them!"

Zhou Yuji was taken aback when he heard that, because it was not yet the day to pay the military salary, but Emperor Chongzhen was about to pay the military salary.This is really rich!
You know, although there is no salary owed on the side of the Yongwei Battalion, it is indeed not uncommon to be in arrears with the military salary.It is relatively rare to pay military salaries on time.

With this in mind, Zhou Yuji immediately ordered the entire army to be summoned, and as soon as the news was announced, the military salaries began to be distributed in front of the emperor.

The soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion not only saw the emperor here, but also received this month's military salary in advance, so naturally they were all very excited.

As a matter of course, they all held their heads high, showing the military posture that an elite should have. Seeing Emperor Chongzhen nodding slightly from time to time, he was somewhat relieved.

After the payment of the military salary was completed, Emperor Chongzhen said: "You are fighting for the country and risking your life. You are all models of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country. I am very pleased!"

No one thought that he would say such a thing!

This is an affirmation to the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion, and the evaluation is very high. It makes their blood boil all of a sudden, and they feel that even if they die immediately, it is worth it!
However, what they never expected was that Emperor Chongzhen went on to say: "If you have any difficulties or problems, you can tell me now. If I can solve it for you, I will solve it for you on the spot! You can't let You kill the enemy on the front line, but you still have to worry about the future!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!

When did the emperor care about them so much?Is this still the emperor they knew?

They naturally didn't know that after hearing what Liu Weichao said, Emperor Chongzhen tried it for the first time among glass factory craftsmen, and received very good results.

But now, he has to rely heavily on the army, so naturally, he also wants to apply the experience of the glass factory to the Yongwei Battalion, so as to gain the morale of the army.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen knew the reaction of the soldiers below, and he knew it well.Because of this scene, he had seen it at the glass factory.

So, he guided the soldiers under him with ease, and even called the roll later, and really solved the problems raised by some soldiers on the spot.

Of course, in front of the emperor, no one dared to make excessive demands.

In the end, to Emperor Chongzhen's surprise, there were soldiers who asked to join the Yongwei Battalion, such as brothers.

Generally speaking, only one person from each military household will serve in the military. Only when the soldier who served in the military dies or escapes will other brothers in the family take over.

Many people are reluctant to serve in the army, and flee if they can.Even on the side of the thieves, there are many military households who escaped.

At this moment, quite a few people wanted their brothers to join the army as well, which is very rare nowadays.

But looking back, the thoughts of these people are actually quite understandable.

There is no other reason, just because the treatment of the Yongweiying is good enough!
No, you don’t need to worry about the military salary, you can still see the emperor, and even the emperor can solve your family affairs for you. How can such a great good thing happen in other places?
Hearing these demands from them, Emperor Chongzhen felt much better.Obviously, he has the sincere support of the soldiers in the army!

Not bad, this method of Liu Weichao is really good!
With this in mind, Emperor Chongzhen ordered Zhou Yuji to write down the requirements of these soldiers and go to the assessment later, and if they meet the requirements, they will be called into the army.

Before you know it, another day will pass.

Emperor Chongzhen went back in a good mood.

But as soon as he went back, Wang Chengen, the admiral of Xichang, came over and reported to him about Chen Xinjia's investigation.

"Well, so soon?" Emperor Chongzhen asked a little puzzled, "Is there a result?"

It was just the past day, and the short time was really beyond his expectation.

When Wang Chengen heard this, he quickly replied: "Long Live Lord, these things in the servants' memorials are all public. If there are those that are hidden in private, it will take some time."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he thought about it too. Chen Xinjia wanted to accept bribes, so he could only hide this kind of thing from him. If he could hide it from everyone, who knows if he would be able to bribe him!
Who would have any scruples about giving and accepting bribes in such an open manner on both civil and military paths?
