Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 964 Not Consummated (Third)

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen quit the chat group, took out the previous design plan and started to browse and revise it again. He was busy until the evening, and finally revised a draft again, and threw it to the eunuch on duty. We plan to have a formal discussion tomorrow.

After finishing this work, Emperor Chongzhen went to the chat group to check the information.Unexpectedly, I received multiple messages from Hai Lanzhu at once.

"Your Majesty, my brother chased and killed Tong Yangxing. In the afternoon, he encountered the elite Jianlu, the one led by Hauge. My brother was defeated, with [-] riders, and only escaped with more than [-] riders. My brother ...my brother was caught up and killed by Oboi!"

"There are traces of Jianlu found on our east, west and south, and we are now fleeing north."

"..."

Emperor Chongzhen was taken aback when he saw it, he didn't expect his vague worries before to become a reality.The Horqin army was overtaken, Wu Keshan was killed, and Hai Lanzhu fled with the remnant soldiers.

He quickly asked, "Where are you now?"

Emperor Chongzhen's question was conveyed directly to Hai Lanzhu, and it was already evening, Hai Lanzhu leaned on his horse, and while running wildly, he replied anxiously: "I don't know, anyway, I have been fleeing north. , in order to escape from the siege and interception of Jianlu."

This strategy should be correct. Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and comforted him: "It is impossible for the Jianlu to pursue him for a long time. After he escapes from the pursuit of the Jianlu, he will come back in a circle. Turn around and tell me the route, and I will send cavalry to pick him up." You guys. In addition, I will make the army at Anshan Post Castle more active to attract Jianlu's attention."

After hearing this, Hai Lanzhu could only do so.Thanks to the children of the prairie, they are more able to bear this kind of thing.Each of them is very good at riding, but if they try their best to escape, I believe it is impossible for Jianlu to catch up.Now that he is running for his life again, he has no chance to be sad.

One thing, Emperor Chongzhen was rather strange, thinking how could Wu Keshan's cavalry be overtaken by Hauge's cavalry with the cavalry's riding skills?

Forget it, let's not think about it, the ending has already been decided.Bu He over there, I'm afraid they need to be appeased.He is probably going to Ning Jin soon, and Sun Chengzong needs to inform him.Hai Lanzhu should also pay more attention.

With these things in mind, Emperor Chongzhen began to get busy again.

The next day, in the Wenhua Palace, the courtiers who came here on orders continued to gather together. There were all the eunuchs who were in charge of the ceremony, the ministers of the cabinet, the six ministers, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and even the Mansion of the Governor of the Five Armies. They were very surprised.Except for the chief assistant Wen Tiren and the eunuch Cao Huachun, who knew the truth in their hearts, the others didn't know what the emperor wanted to discuss, so they couldn't help but turn their heads around, or whispered.

Many courtiers are not used to this kind of court meeting that is not under their control.Except for the founder Taizu and Chengzu, generally speaking, the emperors in the deep palace rely on the officials to obtain information, and then make decisions about whether to deal with it or not. There are many.

What they didn't expect was that Emperor Chongzhen also came from the deep palace and didn't have much experience. In the first two years, there were indeed no accidents. The courtiers knew very well what to do and how to deal with it.Moreover, the handling of court affairs is often the emperor's decision on the surface, but the real result is actually the struggle, negotiation, or compromise among the courtiers to guide the emperor to make the decision they want.

However, since Jianlu invaded the land of Gyeonggi, Emperor Chongzhen seems to have changed a different person, with the style of a great ancestor becoming an ancestor. The court affairs are no longer in the hands of the officials, but reflect the will of the emperor.It may be difficult for foreign ministers to feel the difference, but the senior officials in the center can feel it deeply.

They were thinking about it when they shouted "The emperor is here", the Wenhua Palace fell silent, and all the courtiers greeted the emperor together.

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the throne, and after the officials had finished seeing the ceremony, he announced the good news with a smile: "In Liaodong, we just took down Anshan Post Fort, feigned an attack on Liaoyang, and mobilized Jianlu's all-powerful troops for a few days. The food is further depleted, and I believe that this year's Jianlu, even if it is a tiger, is just a skinny and dying tiger. In Liaodong, Jianlu will not pose a threat to Daming at least in the short term!"

Only a few of the courtiers knew this news.Therefore, after Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, many courtiers felt a little inconceivable that the Jianlu, who had exhausted their brains to deal with it but still caused the Ming army to suffer repeated defeats, now suffered so lightly again without alarming the court. Had a major setback?

Suddenly, they suddenly discovered another thing. Since Jianlu invaded the land of Gyeonggi, the issue of Jianlu in Liaodong no longer seemed to be a matter that the imperial court had to stand ready and go all out to solve.Unknowingly, one victory after another was fought, and the situation in Liaodong was getting better day by day, and it no longer dragged down the customs and other places in Ming Dynasty as before.

With that in mind, they congratulated the emperor together under the leadership of Wen Tiren and Cao Huachun.

However, Emperor Chongzhen changed the subject, and at the same time, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said to the courtiers below: "The Guards Army created by the founding of the Ming Dynasty has long been unusable. As early as the Jiajing period, the powerful The army is all obtained from recruits. All the ministers, what do you think of my Daming Guardhouse?"

The death of the Weisuo army is notorious. When the Japanese pirates made troubles during the Jiajing period, dozens or even hundreds of people could attack the city of Nanjing, but the Weisuo army could do nothing. This is evident from this.None of the courtiers in the Wenhua Palace could deny this.

In fact, the death of the Weisuo Army forced the imperial court to start the recruitment system during the orthodox years.This kind of recruitment system is called the battalion sentry system.

"At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, a thousand wastes were waiting to be rejuvenated, and the strength of the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty could not be ignored. Therefore, the Taizu created this guard system to make the army self-sufficient, reduce the burden on the people to supply military supplies, and maintain enough troops. Defend the homeland." Emperor Chongzhen obviously did his homework in advance, so he talked eloquently in the Wenhua Hall, "However, it is normal for the army to garrison the fields, so there must be insufficient training and low combat effectiveness. After the country is peaceful, this situation will become more serious. Although the current guard army is mainly responsible for garrison, security, training recruits and farming, this is no longer the normal state of the army! I think..."

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he glanced majestically at the courtiers below, and then said solemnly: "It's time to change the military system of the guard!"

　Thanks to Feng Angju for the reward!This is to pay back last week's recommended votes.No more owed.
