Chongzhen Chat Group

The sun slowly moved to the middle of the sky, and about two hours had passed.

Emperor Chongzhen stood up from his seat and walked to the window himself. When Mao Yuanyi and Man Gui stood there, they immediately stepped aside, bowed and handed over the binoculars.

You can see that the school grounds in the distance are completely empty without a telescope. The formation of the new army is also a bit unstable, but no one has left the team to take shelter from the wind.

Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised. He turned to Mangui and said: "Those soldiers in your Beijing camp are still able to persist until now and are performing well. The list of these people will be reported to me later."

"The general will obey the order!" Upon hearing this, Man Gui responded loudly without a trace of pride. Those soldiers from the Beijing camp who are still standing in the school grounds are probably not even 1% of them. This is nothing to be proud of. After all, the new troops are still standing there 100% of the time!

After Emperor Chongzhen finished his instructions, he picked up the telescope and carefully observed the new army officers and soldiers.

Seeing Mao Yuanyi's slightly nervous look, Zu Dashou on the side said: "It's good that the new army has persisted for so long."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the new army is almost there. It is estimated that after a while, people will leave the school grounds one after another to escape the cold wind.

Sure enough, while Emperor Chongzhen was observing with a telescope, some of the New Army soldiers were no longer satisfied and stomped their feet. They looked around and talked to their colleagues.

"It hasn't been here all morning, and it's already noon. Chief Instructor Xi and the others must have thought that someone had issued an order to disband the army, so they didn't care about us, right?"

"Indeed, when we stood in line before, it never lasted this long!"

"I think it's almost done. Look at those in the Beijing camp. They've been disbanded for a long time, and nothing has happened. Why don't we disband too?"

"..."

Not to mention, this last person's proposal really made many people excited. So, a group of people talked and encouraged each other, wanted to leave their positions, and dispersed themselves.

At this moment, Cao Bianjiao, who was standing in the front row, suddenly turned around and shouted to them: "What are you doing? We are the new army formed by the emperor, and it is the army that the emperor has high hopes for. If anyone leaves without receiving military orders, Are you worthy of the Emperor's grace?"

Upon hearing this, all the New Army officers and soldiers fell silent. They stopped their discussion and looked at the speaker in surprise.

Cao Bianjiao continued to have a cold face and shouted loudly: "Whoever dares to leave the team and try to leave the team, I will beat you to death. No one is allowed to leave without an order to disband the army!"

Brother Zhao and the others were a little surprised at first when Cao Bianjiao suddenly said these words, and then they felt that he was a little bit like a dog biting a mouse. Why did he care so much? They could just do whatever they wanted. What if some of these people are lucky enough to become officers or even their immediate superiors? By saying this to them, wouldn’t it offend them first?

However, Cao Bianjiao had already spoken at this time, and they had no choice. After looking at each other, they said fiercely: "Who dares to leave the team and try?"

In response to their threats, some of the officers and soldiers of the New Army hesitated and did not think about leaving the team. They had been standing for so long anyway, so it would be better to stand again; but some were unconvinced. , everyone is equal at this time, why should you take care of it? They are all elites of the border army, and there are quite a few people who have this idea.

But at this moment, Cao Bianjiao said loudly: "In this month, whether it is the training of the chief instructor or the teaching of the supervisors, orders and prohibitions have been emphasized. Have you forgotten?"

After a pause, he glanced at those who were ready to move and seemed to be disobedient, and then said: "Think about it, there is no order to disband the military, there is no doubt about it. Even if the chief instructor and they did forget it, after they come back , seeing that we still abide by the general's order, we will naturally think of the fact that the order to disband the army has not been issued. What would the General Instructor think at that time? Those people in the Beijing camp disbanded on their own, but we are the new army that the emperor values ​​​​and we are still standing here. What will the emperor think if he finds out?"

"What good will it do if we disband now? But what if we stand a little longer, even if we stand until dark? Don't tell me that you will faint standing, you are all elites of the border army! Now that you have done it, then Do your best! Don't give up halfway. If I take charge of this new army and leave on my own, I don't want such soldiers! They are not worthy of being the first division of the Ming Dynasty Army!"

Cao Bianjiao's words can be described as coercion and inducement, a combination of soft and hard. The officers and soldiers of the New Army are not fools. Cao Bianjiao has made it so clear that he naturally knows the benefits of continuing to stand. As a result, those commotion stood back obediently and stopped even breathing and stamping their feet.

At the same time, they were also secretly surprised. Those who knew Cao Bianjiao secretly thought that he was indeed a general and thought so clearly about this matter. Those who did not know Cao Bianjiao couldn't help but admire him and wanted to inquire about it later.

When Cao Bianjiao saw that all the new army officers and soldiers had stabilized again, he stopped talking and turned back, standing like a javelin, still motionless.

Emperor Chongzhen watched this scene from beginning to end. Although I couldn't hear clearly what Cao Bianjiao said, I could estimate what he probably said from the comparison before and after he spoke.

Emperor Chongzhen turned his head and said to Mao Yuanyi, who was also paying attention: "Yes, this Cao Bianjiao is very good. I remember that his other evaluations are also good, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Mao Yuanyi immediately nodded in response.

Emperor Chongzhen turned to look at Mangui and Zu Dashou, and asked them: "How do you feel about the military discipline of the new army?"

"Your Majesty, I will be ashamed!" Man Gui said with a red face.

Zu Dashou nodded and responded to Emperor Chongzhen by saying: "Your Majesty, this new army is originally an elite frontier army and has such military discipline. As long as the battle formation is well trained and commanded properly, it will be worthy of your Majesty's hard work!"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled happily when he heard this. He turned to Mao Yuanyi and said: "Then the new army is almost ready. Based on various assessments over the past month, officers will be recommended according to the arms and branches, and then reported to me."

"I obey the order!" Mao Yuanyi felt relieved. The new army had passed the first hurdle.

Emperor Chongzhen then turned to Zu Dashou and told him: "The junior military preparation hall in the capital is almost ready. When the list comes out, all officers will have to be taught. It's time for you to be busy!"

When Zu Dashou heard this, he was very happy. With the Jingshi Junior Armed Forces Hall, the long-awaited Jingshi Senior Armed Forces Hall is not far away. He quickly echoed loudly: "The general will obey the order!"

Emperor Chongzhen looked up at the school grounds in the distance again, then turned and walked towards the stairs, smiling at the same time and saying: "I am very satisfied, let's go, it's time to make an appearance!"

The next chapter will probably be around 4-5 o'clock.
