Chongzhen Chat Group

In the military camp, as soon as Sun Chuanting arrived, soldiers training from various places quickly gathered in the school grounds. During the whole process, apart from the officer's command, there were only the sounds of neat footsteps and the clash of armor and weapons. The only movement that could be heard was that of soldiers, and there were no other sounds at all.

Sun Chuanting on the stage was sitting at the main seat, not drinking tea, but looking coldly at the stage.

Without much effort, the five thousand soldiers had been assembled. Everyone held their heads high and looked straight ahead. Their military training methods were not based on Qi Jiguang's military books, but were compiled and trained according to Sun Chuanting's own will.

Severe punishment was imposed. When the army had just assembled, Sun Chuanting killed several soldiers who disobeyed military discipline in front of the entire army. Most of these soldiers who disobeyed military discipline were police officers and military tyrants, and some were generals or people with strong backing. They think that they are either very powerful and can be used as elites, or they think that no one dares to do anything to them or their status behind the scenes. As a result, after Sun Chuanting received the report, he killed it without any hesitation.

The killing of these few heads made the whole army immediately remember the nickname of this governor: the cold-faced King of Hell! Since he arrived in the south, he has beheaded many people, whether civil or military, he has killed many people.

In this way, none of these soldiers dared not to listen to Sun Chuanting's orders, and none of them dared not to take them seriously. Otherwise, once the cold-faced King of Hell sees his mistake, he may lose his head.

However, what they didn't expect was that Sun Chuanting's rewards for those who performed well among them were also very generous. Some soldiers were directly promoted from privates to generals; the rewards they should be given were never kept overnight, and they were never withheld.

In this way, this army can perform as it does now. With just one order, it can be used like an arm.

In this regard, Sun Chuanting privately taught his trusted general Liu Guoneng: These soldiers are all soldiers of the garrison, and their ancestral combat skills are passed down from their ancestors. They are not ordinary people who know nothing about it. For them, there is nothing more than clear rewards and punishments. If you can do this, you will have an elite army!

At this time, after seeing that the assembly was completed, he did not speak, but just waved his hand. The guards at the side gave the order and started practicing. During this process, Sun Chuanting finally stood up and walked to the stage to watch. About an hour later, the soldiers were all sweating profusely and began to regroup.

Sun Chuanting strode down from the general station, walked among the soldiers with a cold face, and looked at them one by one. His eyes looked as if these were thieves.

The banners were blazing, the horses were snoring, and the school grounds seemed particularly quiet.

Suddenly, Sun Chuanting's voice rang out, still coldly: "I believe that if you can't train on the battlefield, you can't be considered an elite! Soldiers who want to make meritorious deeds, have a wife and son, and honor their ancestors can only go to the army battlefield!"

Having said this, he paused, turned back to the General's Stand, came to the front of the stage, looked at the dense crowd of soldiers below, and shouted coldly: "The value of a soldier is on the battlefield! When you go to the battlefield, for Fight for yourself, fight for the Ming Dynasty, and fight for the emperor! Raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. When I inform the emperor and remove the supervisory troops, you will go to the battlefield!"

Don't forget that Sun Chuanting is known as the cold-faced King of Hell. It seems that he doesn't give face to anyone. He is cold-blooded and has offended many people. But in fact, he was very measured in what he did. He knew who had the thickest thighs in the Ming Dynasty! He knows what things can be done unscrupulously and what things should be done with caution!

For example, he collected taxes and killed people without mercy, because he was doing things for the emperor; in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the emperor was very wise, so he would be fine; but when it came to military power, although he knew that the emperor trusted him, he still Don't dare to push too far. He almost manages this army single-handedly. In the eyes of the outside world, it is estimated that it will be known as the "Sun Family Army". And this was what he didn't want.

The capital in the north has already set a good example, taking the New Army as a model and stationing supervisors at all levels. In the future, the control of this army will actually be in the hands of the supervisors, not just one supervisor. There are supervisors at all levels. Supervise the army. In this way, this army is equivalent to the imperial army, and has little relationship with Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting estimated that in a month or two, after the Folangji people in Guangdong gave a reply or started bargaining, this army would probably be useful. Therefore, this time, he came to say hello in advance.

On the way back, he privately chatted with Emperor Chongzhen in the chat group and said: "Your Majesty, the reform of the military system of the guard station here in Fuzhou has been completed. The training of the soldiers has just been reviewed by Wei Chen. They should be able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. I would like to ask Your Majesty to send a supervisory army to take office as soon as possible."

Emperor Chongzhen happened to be online and saw Sun Chuanting's private chat and couldn't help but frown.

One thing he underestimated beforehand was that there were not enough manpower to supervise the army. On the capital side, since the first batch of supervisors were selected and took office in the new army, the subsequent training of supervisors has been continuing. The eunuchs in the inner study hall also graduated batch after batch. But most of these eunuchs were sent to the second batch of new armies to serve as supervisors.

Originally, Emperor Chongzhen also thought that relying solely on eunuchs to supervise the army would definitely not be enough. Therefore, at that time, he planned to recruit some scholars and other scholars, and after training, they would serve as supervisors of the army.

But during the implementation process, it was not smooth. The first is that it is difficult to recruit scholars; the second is that even if they are recruited, they are either too weak in physique or pedantic in mind. At most, they can teach the soldiers how to read. In terms of controlling the soldiers' thoughts, it is really far from the requirements.

Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanting's request came before the matter regarding the source of the supervisory army was sorted out.

Of course, if it were just Sun Chuanting's 5,000-man army in Fuzhou, it would be nothing. There were ready-made supervisory troops in the capital that could be dispatched. But the problem is that in Fujian alone, there is more than one regular army of 5,000 men in Fuzhou. There are two capitals and thirteen provinces in the country. Of course, there are more than that now. There are also Mongolia, Liaodong and North Korea. The number of supervisory troops required is a very large number.

He couldn't think of a clue at the moment, but he did not delay Sun Chuanting's request. He immediately replied to Sun Chuanting that he would send supervisory troops from the capital immediately, and they could arrive in Fuzhou in less than a month.

After Emperor Chongzhen arranged this matter, he began to consider the matter of supervising the army. I didn't realize it before, but now I feel like this is imminent. After thinking for a while, I couldn't figure it out, so I walked casually and came to the Royal Garden.

Although it is an imperial garden, when the weather gets cold right now, everything is withered and there is nothing to see.

However, the Royal Garden at this time was not deserted at all. Emperor Chongzhen had just stepped into the Imperial Garden for a while when he heard faint sounds, and there seemed to be cheers.

He listened carefully, smiled, and walked over.

In an open space by the lake, laughter like silver bells could be heard from time to time. Two groups of women cheered and shouted at each other, as if they were competing for something.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the ladies are having an archery competition. I'll let you know first." Fang Zhenghua, who was accompanying Emperor Chongzhen, had good eyesight and had already seen the situation clearly, so he told the emperor with a slight smile.

Swords have no eyes, let alone bows and arrows. For the safety of the emperor, Fang Zhenghua was responsible. After the report was completed, Emperor Chongzhen turned around and shouted: "The emperor is here!"

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, although he felt that he was making a fuss, he just let him do his duty.

The crowd over there heard it and immediately came to pick him up. Only then did Emperor Chongzhen see clearly that it was Concubine Tian and Concubine Hai who were competing in archery.

After the ceremony, Concubine Tian smiled and said a little coquettishly: "Your Majesty, come and be the matchmaker to see who is the most accurate archer!"

Among the concubines, Tian Guifei is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, horseback riding and archery. It can be said that she is both civil and military. Although the slightly thicker Hailanzhu comes from the grassland, it goes without saying that she is good at riding and archery. The two of them were competing in archery to see who was better.

Hailanzhu listened with a little expectation, obviously hoping that Emperor Chongzhen could also join in and play together.

However, Emperor Chongzhen had something on his mind, so he shook his head and said with a smile: "The two concubines have their own fun, I just came here for a walk!"

Concubine Tian spent the longest time with him, especially when she went to Jiangnan, she was the only one accompanying him. Therefore, she is considered to be someone who understands Emperor Chongzhen's character relatively well. As soon as she heard the emperor's words, she couldn't help but ask: "Liaodong has been recovered, what else can bother your majesty?"

Hai Lanzhu, who was on the side, quickly showed concern after hearing this and said: "If your Majesty has something to do, why don't you tell us!"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Tian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, turned to look at Hai Lanzhu, and gestured slightly, trying to stop the talkative Hai Lanzhu.

You know, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. It is obvious that Hai Lanzhu, who does not understand the rules, comes from the grassland and does not know this, or is not aware of it, so he may have violated the taboo.

Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen didn't seem to take it seriously, and said to Concubine Tian with a smile: "I want to revive the Ming Dynasty and bring it to an unprecedented height. Recovering Liaodong is only the first step. There are so many things to consider. !”

Having said this, he turned to look at Hailanzhu and continued: "You have come into contact with the supervisory troops in the new army before. Now that the national military system is reforming, new armies will be formed one after another, which requires a lot of Supervisor, I have been worrying for a while that I may not be able to meet the needs of so many supervisors!"

After saying that, he was about to say something like "It's fun" before leaving.

Unexpectedly, Hai Lanzhu answered the question smoothly: "Your Majesty, what is there to worry about? The master has taught the disciples, and those in the new army know what the supervisory army should do? They are also sure of the emperor. They are loyal! I think they can respond quickly!"

She accompanied Emperor Chongzhen to Liaodong, so naturally she often saw the new army officers and soldiers. She is the daughter of the leader of the Horqin tribe, so she naturally has her experience. From her perspective as a bystander, she could see that the new army soldiers showed respect for the emperor that she had never seen anywhere else before. What I just said was definitely not flattery!

When Emperor Chongzhen heard Hai Lanzhu's question, he suddenly woke up from his dream! Naturally, he also knew his importance in the hearts of the New Army soldiers. As Hai Lanzhu said, the officers and soldiers of the New Army usually stay with the supervisors at all levels. The earliest batch have been together for two years. Among them, the duties of supervising the army, as well as their words and deeds, are all seen by these new army officers and soldiers. Let them go to other armies to supervise the army. Emperor Chongzhen can guarantee that these new army officers may be more qualified than those eunuchs who have been trained but have not experienced the baptism of war.

What's more critical is that there are nearly 20,000 people in the New Army, both front and rear. Selecting several thousand people from them, combining old and new ones, and sending them to all parts of the country can at least effectively alleviate the shortage of supervisory troops, and also ensure that they are qualified to serve as supervisors!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen was immediately overjoyed. I have been thinking hard about something without a good solution, but Hai Lanzhu solved it casually. When he was happy, he immediately stepped forward and kissed Hai Lanzhu. Then he found that Concubine Tian was looking on with her mouth open, so he also stepped forward, hugged Concubine Tian and kissed her, and then led the group of palace maids to remain stunned. Fang Zhenghua walked away.

The matter of supervising the army is related to the new army, that is, it is also related to the matter planned years ago. In this case, we need to think carefully about it. But now that we have found the right direction, the remaining problems are not big.

The Royal Garden business is an unexpected surprise. However, Emperor Chongzhen did not expect that sometimes, there were more than just unexpected surprises. What happened at the same time on this day was unexpected for Emperor Chongzhen. Of course, Shivella also didn't expect it.

After Shivera conveyed the Ming Kingdom's ultimatum to his subordinates, he prepared to pack his things and retreat to Nanyang. Because he knew that according to the requirements of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible to be satisfied. However, after his men heard this, they stopped.

At first, there were only small complaints. Shivella knew this situation and didn't take it seriously. In fact, he himself had complaints about this kind of thing. It was normal for him to clean up Annan's affairs and complain a few times.

But later, when his men came to the town, most of the things they encountered were closed, closed, closed. They became angry and had conflicts with the people of the Ming Dynasty who were packing their things and preparing to leave. But at the beginning, this kind of conflict was still restrained. After all, these men of Shivera have not been here for a day or two, and they know what the consequences of the conflict will be! At least here, the governor cannot protect his subordinates like other places, otherwise the Ming government will not be able to explain.

But when these subordinates returned to the camp with resentment, the complaints in the camp immediately boiled over. On the third day, these Portuguese people went to the streets and saw that many shops had been closed on the streets, and many other people, such as those who served the Portuguese military camps, had also left, causing them great inconvenience. , the accumulated resentment always breaks out.

Thanks to the nervous and hopeless, melancholy Latiao, Feng Zhaoying and Jagged Descendants for their rewards!
