Chongzhen Chat Group

Hearing this, Gao Yingxiang and others looked at Li Zicheng with nothing but admiration in their eyes! The emperor only gave the number of one thousand troops this time. Li Zicheng, a guerrilla general, could not reach the full number of soldiers. Naturally, it was impossible for them to participate again. It is really a pity to miss such a good opportunity!

In fact, Li Zicheng did not say anything. It's because he is unwilling to accept the current status quo, so he cares about the news outside the Hetao, thinking about any opportunities that can make him prosperous again.

Time passed quickly, and half a month later, Li Zicheng selected a thousand subordinates from various armies. Most of these subordinates are Mongolians, and they are also among the Mongolians who are not reconciled to the current situation like him, and still want to strive for glory, wealth, and the merit of making a wife and son.

Regarding this matter, Hong Chengchou was also considerate enough. When Li Zicheng brought the mid-level officers to Beijing, he actually delivered them to the gate of the Governor's Mansion in person, so that many people could see them. The treatment Li Zicheng received was greatly envied, jealous, and hated.

In the capital, when Emperor Chongzhen knew that the first person willing to stand up and accept this decree was actually Li Zicheng, he was stunned for a while and then had to admit that Li Zicheng was able to stand out in the original history because he was indeed outstanding. at. At least his sense of smell on this matter is very sensitive.

When Li Zicheng led the mid-level officers to the capital, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the many pamphlets that had been prepared on the imperial case, and a new idea came to his mind. He felt that he should take this opportunity to do what he had thought about before. .

So, on the next day, the Commander-in-Chief Qian Shi, Commander-in-Chief Tongzhi, and the Commander-in-Chief on the left and right of the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief Mansion and above all arrived at the Forbidden City early according to the order.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies had great power. Later, Taizu made it clear that the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies only had the power to command troops, but not to mobilize them. This means that the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies was only responsible for Army training. The power to mobilize troops belongs to the Ministry of War. Once there is a war and the emperor's decree is passed, the Ministry of War will deploy generals and troops to go out. This is a check and balance strategy to prevent military generals from overestimating their troops. But in the late Ming Dynasty, the power of the Ministry of War became more and more powerful. In fact, the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army was only reduced to the executive department of the Ministry of War, vaguely becoming a subordinate yamen.

As a result, the Fifth Army Governor's Office can be said to be an idle yamen. Even the assessment of hereditary military attaches will not be done as hard as it can, because the determination of the final results and the selection of the list of generals have to be sent to the Ministry of War for decision.

It is also because of this that the chief officers of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion have almost nothing to do and have nothing to do on weekdays. They have gradually lost the right to participate in and discuss government affairs. But in the past year, Emperor Chongzhen also asked these senior officials from the Fifth Army Governor's Office to attend when important military and political matters were involved. However, due to historical reasons, these chief officials of the Five Army Governor's Mansion almost acted as spectators. Only when Emperor Chongzhen asked, did he answer. Just like the last time he discussed the war against the captives, Emperor Chongzhen consulted Zu Dashou.

Regarding this situation, the civil servants don't care, it's just a formality. The generals weren't too excited. They didn't have any opinions anyway, they just went to see the Clay Bodhisattva. There is almost a consensus between the civil and military parties. Only Zu Dashou had heard from Emperor Chongzhen in the past, so he had some expectations.

However, it has been almost two years, and except for the junior military training hall in the capital, I have not seen any substantial improvement in the generals. To be honest, he was a little disappointed in his heart. But he also knew that there was too much resistance to changing the general's status. As long as Emperor Chongzhen always remembers this and doesn't just talk about it, then there is still something to look forward to.

At this time, the supervisors of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion gathered in front of Wuying Hall. Although the weather is already a bit cool, the wind is also blowing. However, they didn't care about this. They were just a little surprised when they saw their colleagues. When they communicated with each other, they couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Zu Dashou was delighted because they discovered that the emperor had issued a pamphlet to each of them yesterday, each of which was different and covered all aspects of military training. Although a lot of content is excerpted from "Jixiao New Book", there are also many more practical things. Zu Dashou had actual experience in leading troops, and he knew at a glance that the emperor had hired someone to write it.

For example, "The Sentinel Who Never Caught the Night" is more detailed than the content in "Jixiao New Book", and even has many explanations of specific cases. There is also a description of firearms, how to use them with great power, and how to protect them to reduce firearm damage. It can be said that the description of firearms is the most detailed and profound in the Ming Dynasty. There are also explanations on how to face specific environments such as severe cold, scorching heat, deserts, grasslands, etc. when marching and fighting...

Zu Dashou probably guessed something in his mind. The emperor was probably going to fulfill the promise he had made before. Thinking this way, he was looking forward to it.

Emperor Chongzhen did not let them wait long. With the sound of "The Emperor has arrived," Emperor Chongzhen appeared in front of them.

Zu Dashou and others hurriedly received the gift and peeked to check at the same time, they couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Emperor Chongzhen appeared in front of them wearing a golden helmet and armor, riding a tall horse. Behind the emperor, there were also eunuchs such as Fang Zhenghua. Two of them were holding something covered with red cloth, which seemed to be a plaque.

"Let's go to the capital camp." Emperor Chongzhen didn't talk nonsense and just waved to them.

Although Zu Dashou was the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief, he was in charge of the real commission and held the power of acting as the temporary commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp. Therefore, he naturally understood the situation in the Beijing camp. When he saw the emperor's posture and what was covered with the red cloth, he was not as baffled as other colleagues, but further confirmed his guess in his heart, and couldn't help but Very happy.

Sure enough, after Emperor Chongzhen arrived at the capital camp, he did not go to the school grounds where the new army trained as usual, but went straight to the capital's junior military preparation hall.

Although the first batch of new troops had already graduated from the Capital Junior Armed Forces Hall and were already fighting in Liaodong. But today, there are still students in the capital's junior military preparation hall, all of whom are junior officers who will follow the new army.

As the emperor arrived, all the teachers and students of the capital's junior military training hall came out to greet him. The small square in the Capital Junior Arms Hall was filled with people.

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes scanned these low-level officials of the Ming Dynasty and found Li Zicheng and his mid-level officers, standing in the corner beside him, separated from the others by a clear space.

Looking at the eyes of these people below, with some excitement and confusion, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Since the establishment of the Capital Junior Military Academy, it has cultivated many talents for the Ming Dynasty. Today, they have made great military achievements in Liaodong. , which laid a solid foundation for our Ming Dynasty to regain control of the Liao territory, and I am very pleased about this!"

Naturally, they had heard about the deeds of their predecessors. When the emperor told them, they were all a little more excited.

"However, they were originally elites selected by me from millions of frontier troops. Therefore, although the content taught in the capital's junior military preparation hall is small, it can already enable them to operate on the battlefield." When Emperor Chongzhen said this, his face became a little more serious. Yidian said, "However, in the future, the soldiers in the capital's junior military preparation hall will not have such a good foundation as them. This requires a step-by-step learning of the ability to kill enemies on the battlefield."

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he suddenly asked a question: "Do you know why I named it the Capital Junior Military Beitang in the first place?"

Hearing this, whether it was the standing students, Li Zicheng and the others who had just arrived in the capital, or the chief officers of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, they were all a little surprised and also a little guessing. But by now Zu Dashou was 100% sure that what the emperor had promised at the beginning had begun to be further advanced. Thinking like this, although his palace is deep, he still can't suppress the smile on his face.

Naturally, no one would stand up to answer Emperor Chongzhen's question, and he didn't want anyone to answer. He just used this method of asking and answering himself: "I just want to prepare more in-depth knowledge of weapons and equipment for you, so that you can be more knowledgeable." Learn more about the ever-changing battlefield, learn more skills in killing enemies, and achieve less bloodshed on the battlefield!"

Having said this, he waved his hand, and the two eunuchs, holding things covered with red cloth, walked up to Emperor Chongzhen.

At this time, the focus of the entire audience was on the thing covered with red cloth. Many people are very curious, wondering what is covered under the red cloth, and how does it relate to what the emperor just said?

Li Zicheng was also a little puzzled. After arriving in the capital yesterday, he moved into the capital camp and came to the junior military preparation hall of the capital. He was originally excited, but after asking about the situation, he suddenly became confused. Because the sacrificial wine at the Junior Military Beitang of the capital was just for the birthday of Tong Zhizu, the governor of the Dudu Mansion, and the lecturers were just ordinary people. Did the emperor personally teach them as promised? Even if it's just a name, it's just a name for the Governor and Tongzhi, right?

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the emperor to teach in person, right? After all, the biggest person in the Armed Forces Hall is the Governor Tongzhi, and it is impossible for the Emperor to be below him. It seems impossible to temporarily remove the position of Governor and Tongzhi Jijiujiu for people like myself, right?

Looking at the things covered with red cloth, Li Zicheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He wondered if the emperor's words just now meant setting up another Armed Forces Hall for people like himself?

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng suddenly became excited. But then he immediately calmed down. Who are he? He was just a guerrilla at the border, and he was also a bandit. How could the emperor set up an additional military service hall for this purpose? Fortunately, no one else knows about this idea, otherwise it would be a joke, and you wouldn’t be able to see how much you weigh!

While he was thinking about it, he saw Emperor Chongzhen reaching over and uncovering the red cloth. Suddenly, a plaque was revealed. Everyone, including Li Zicheng, immediately looked at the words on the plaque.

"The Ming Dynasty Advanced Armed Forces Hall"

It was just seven simple words, but it surprised everyone who knew these words, and excitement followed.

Li Zicheng opened his mouth even more. He didn't expect that there was really another military service hall being set up, and judging from the name, it was obviously a more powerful yamen. The junior military preparation hall of the capital, the senior military preparation hall of the Ming Dynasty, which one is more important than the capital and the Ming Dynasty? Not to mention beginners and advanced! The content of what the emperor just said is contained in this plaque.

Li Zicheng really didn't expect that the emperor would attach such great importance to the so-called Siberia that he would set up a new yamen like the "Ming Dynasty Senior Military Beitang" for them. Thinking that the emperor wanted to teach him personally, he suddenly looked forward to the Ming Dynasty's senior military training hall.

Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen scanned the audience and said: "In the future, there will be more than just the Junior Military Beitang in the capital. I will set up Junior Military Beitang in other places as needed. And after graduating from the Junior Military Beitang, or those who have made contributions on the battlefield, "

At this point, he raised his voice and announced even louder: "I will personally serve as the sacrificial wine for the Ming Dynasty's Senior Military Beitang, while the governors of the Dudu Mansion will be responsible for the various departments..."

Few people could listen to what Emperor Chongzhen said later. They were all shocked by what Emperor Chongzhen just said. Except for Li Zicheng, no one else, including Zu Dashou, expected that the emperor would personally serve as the wine liberator for the Ming Dynasty's senior armed forces. In this way, the status of the Ming Dynasty's senior military officer will be raised very high. You know, liberal arts scholars, the so-called disciples of the emperor, are only responsible for the imperial examination by the emperor. But for those in the Ming Dynasty's high-level military service hall, their sacrificial wine was served by the emperor himself. This was even more important than the so-called disciples of the emperor!

The emperor personally served as the wine liberator, so it was reasonable for the governors of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, the highest military attache in the Ming Dynasty, to serve as ministers. The standards of this Ming Dynasty's advanced military training hall are so high that I'm afraid the content taught there is just shitty, and I'm afraid it will become a place that many martial artists from the Ming Dynasty are trying their best to enter!

This time, the governors of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion were also overjoyed. If the emperor serves as the sacrificial wine, it means that the Ming Dynasty's high-level military preparation hall will no longer be a decoration, and the Ministry of War will not be able to compete with the emperor. This means that the most noble origin among the military generals of the Ming Dynasty is the Ming Senior Military Beitang; in the future, many of the senior military generals of the Ming Dynasty will come from this Ming Senior Military Beitang. In other words, at least from now on, the power to command the troops will truly return to the hands of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion!

While they were thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen personally led the eunuchs and directed them to a house in the junior military preparation hall of the capital to hang up the plaque. Everything seems very simple, just a plaque and a room, but it has become the most eye-catching place for everyone.

Not surprisingly, when Li Zicheng and others were announced as the first batch of students by Emperor Chongzhen, the eyes they looked at were filled with jealousy and envy!
