Chongzhen Chat Group

"We've just killed a few bright dogs, how long do we need to fight!" Mang Gurtai said with a bit of disdain after hearing this.

Daishan was going to North Korea, and Amin was already there. He didn't think the fight would take long, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know all this."

"In that case, I'll leave it to you!" Huang Taiji said, solemnly clasping his fists and saluting.

So Daishan and Mang Gurtai said goodbye and went to make preparations respectively.

As soon as Huang Taiji waited for them to leave, he was no longer calm and calm, and his face became very ugly again. After scolding Hauge and leaving, he was alone in a daze.

Despite the fact that he didn't say much just now, he knew clearly in his heart how much the destruction of Shanxi merchants had caused Daijin.

On land, the closest place to Liaodong is the Gyeonggi region, but it is blocked by the Shanhaiguan Pass. It is basically impossible for merchants in the Gyeonggi region to do business with Dajin. Shanxi was slaughtered by the Ming emperor, and there will definitely be no merchants like this again. If you dare to continue to collude with Dajin, go further west to Qin. Qin was not only too far away but also lacked supplies, making it impossible to replace Shanxi merchants.

Huang Taiji couldn't help but get a headache when he thought of this. Now that there are no Shanxi merchants, food, ironware and other military supplies have to be looted. There is also no source of information within the customs, so we must find another way.

After sitting in silence for a long time, he sent orders to Hanchen Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo, Bai Yangcui and others to discuss matters, regardless of the darkness.

At this time, in the capital, Emperor Chongzhen, who was also awake, was in a good mood. He looked at the painted new military uniforms and was looking forward to the selection of the new army starting tomorrow.

Due to the distance of the general troops from various places, the selection of the new army will last for a month. He thought about this new army for a long time and finally decided to adopt the organization of later generations.

There is no other reason than that Emperor Chongzhen had high hopes for this new army. Therefore, he would rather have fewer people, but want them to become elite.

The original decree stated that this new army is different from the past. All old official positions will be erased, and officers will be selected based on their abilities in training. To be different from the current official army, it is better to simply build a completely different army.

This new army is meant to be refreshing and serve as a benchmark for future army restructuring!

With expectations for the new army, Emperor Chongzhen slept until dawn.

The selection of the new army took place at the school grounds of Beijing Camp. Early in the morning, the officials who presided over the selection appeared. There are Mangui, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, Wang Chengen, the military supervisor of the Beijing camp, and Shen Yongmao, the minister of the Ministry of War. This level is so high that those below do not dare to fail to do their best, and those soldiers who participated in the selection have an even greater sense of expectation. This kind of specification is completely different from the past where a minister was assigned to be responsible for the training of the new army.

The selection of this new army is actually simple. First, check the military status and identity certificates issued by the generals of various regions, and other documents similar to letters of introduction for future generations. Then record whether the soldiers are literate and what they are good at, divided into archery, riding, reconnaissance, strongman, etc. , and subsequent selection and assessment arrangements will be made based on this information.

Naturally, Mangui and others did not have to go to work in person. They just sat on the stage at the Beijing camp, watching their subordinates working, and checking the registration information sent by their subordinates from time to time.

No, a director of the Ministry of War came on stage again and presented a piece of information to Shen Yongmao, the Minister of War.

Shen Yongmao took it and looked at it casually. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. He immediately turned to Man Gui beside him and said, "Look, Uncle Zhongyong. Among these almighty people, there was an official who was the boss in the past. This is really a big deal." Determination!”

Seeing Man Gui, he was also a little surprised. While he reached out to take the information, Shen Yongmao said again: "This person is from Guanning. You have been here before. He has high ambitions! He is not afraid of being defeated by the new army. No one at all?"

After Mangui took it, he looked at it for a while and felt a little embarrassed. He found the column of past official positions and recognized the word "General". However, when he found the name, he relied on guesswork and read: "Cao...change...Jiao" , Cao turned into a dragon?"

"Haha, Lao Man, you have to ask someone to teach you how to read!" Wang Chengen said with a smile after hearing this.

He partnered with Man Gui, and he was favored by the emperor. He did not dare to live up to the divine grace in doing things, and he was in line with Man Gui's wishes, so he had a good relationship with Man Gui. At this time, seeing Mangui's difficulty in literacy, he couldn't help but smile and remind him.

Man Gui's bearded face suddenly turned red, but then returned to normal. He handed it to Wang Cheng'en and said with certainty: "It's Cao Bianjiao. I should be right. I know this man's uncle is the deputy general Cao Wenzhao." , who has been brought up by Cao Wenzhao in the army, is considered good among young people. I didn’t expect that he would dare to leave his uncle’s command, not even be the commander-in-chief, and come to the new army! Tsk tsk, he is ambitious!”

At this time, Wang Chengen also looked at it to confirm that Man Gui had not read the wrong word. Hearing what he said again, he was a little surprised and couldn't help but remember the name. Today's officialdom relies heavily on connections, while in the military it relies on family background. Only in this way can one stand firm and rise quickly.

This Cao Bianjiao, his uncle is the deputy general Guan Ning. If he has been working under his uncle, he has a bright future. As long as he sticks around, he will definitely be able to rise smoothly in the future. I really didn't expect that he would dare to give up all this and participate in the selection of the new army.

After thinking about it, he stood up and said to the other two, "Let's go over for a walk!"

As soon as he said this, the other two people knew that Wang Chengen was going for Cao Bianjiao. They were also interested, but because of their status, they couldn't go out of their way to take a look. These eunuchs were the only eunuchs who could be shameless in order to do things.

Although he was thinking this, Shen Yongmao still smiled and nodded in response: "Father-in-law, go alone. We are here, it's okay!"

"Haha, it seems that Cao Bianjiao made the right bet. Without the backing of Cao Wenzhao, he has won the favor of the prince!" Man Gui said with a laugh.

Wang Chengen felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, but then his face returned to normal and he said: "There is nothing we can do. When we go back to serve the emperor, if we casually ask about the good young people in the new army, we have to have something to say."

After hearing what he said, Shen Yongmao was certain that Emperor Chongzhen had mentioned similar ideas before, so he kept Wang Chengen in mind. It seems that as Man Gui, a rough man, said, Cao Bianjiao has gained an advantage that others do not have based on his previous official position and background, and is likely to be recommended to the emperor by Wang Chengen.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen, who was mentioned by them, was not idle either. He drove to the inner study hall, looked at the young eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground, admired their vitality, and waved his hand to let them stand down!
