Chapter 766 Useless effort (fourth update)

In addition, there is another place for those eliminated from the army, which is the line of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

In the past, Emperor Chongzhen had clearly decreed that the Yushi Yanguan was not allowed to make any reports, so as to prevent the Yushi Yanguan's power from being used for party fighting.

But in this case, it would be a bit difficult for the imperial censor to find out the truth of the matter and carry out impeachment with real evidence. Therefore, at that time, Emperor Chongzhen had already made this plan to increase the manpower available to the Yushi Yanguan and expand the establishment so that he could have the manpower to find out the truth.

At this time in the Ming Dynasty, the only local organization under the Metropolitan Procuratorate was the Provincial-level Procuratorate of Sentences and Envoys, which was far from enough. Must be assigned to the county. Where there are officials, there will be supervision, rather than just sending individuals to patrol and inspect.

Emperor Chongzhen originally had the idea of ​​depriving county magistrates of the power to judge local cases. For future generations, it is really unreasonable for the county magistrate to have the functions of the police, prosecutors, and courts in one person. The spin-off here can also reposition manpower.

However, he also understood that if he took too big a step, he would easily lose his temper. Therefore, this piece of content is going to be postponed later.

The discussion convened by the victory in the Gaizhou War took more than an hour to end. Cao Huachun, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, and Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, retired first. These two leaders of the inner and outer courts took the tasks assigned by Emperor Chongzhen and went to prepare first.

In the Wenhua Hall, the only ones present were Commander Liu Xingzuo of Jinyiwei and Admiral Wang Chengen of Dongchang. Emperor Chongzhen looked at the two of them and said: "I asked you to observe the draft list before. I want to see it before the year. Can you do it?"

In fact, the two of them were asked to observe the members in the chat group to see those who had the conditions to develop into factory guards, and then investigate, write down the details, and submit the list to Emperor Chongzhen for his decision. This matter cannot be solved casually.

At this time, it is already the depth of winter, and there is not much time left before the Chinese New Year. Liu Xingzuo and Wang Chengen glanced at each other, and then received the order together.

Watching the two of them leave, Emperor Chongzhen stood up tiredly and stretched out. His waist would hurt after sitting for a long time!

The reform of the military system has created a great need for military supervision. For the time being, you can still select from eunuchs. There has been a precedent before, and subsequent operations will be much simpler. However, once the reform of the military system expands to the whole country, the supervision of the army will definitely not be dependent on eunuchs alone. But how literati get along with warriors is a problem, and this should be carefully considered.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about these things and entered the chat group to see the situation. I found a message sent by Gao Yingyuan, saying that under the banner of Dai Shan, about a thousand cavalry troops were heading east.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at it, clicked on Wei Mulan's icon and asked, "Where are you now?"

"Back to Your Majesty, we have passed Xiaoheishan and are almost back to Jinzhou!" Wei Mulan immediately replied, "Is there something else going on?"

"Well, Jianlu has sent another thousand cavalry troops over. Looking at this, maybe the Jianlu from North Korea will come over soon to encircle and suppress you!"

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen's reply, Wei Mulan couldn't help but feel happy: "It's okay, let them dry out in the cold wind!"

After replying, she added: "The weather here in Liaodong seems to be snowing!"

"Oh?" Emperor Chongzhen said with surprise when he heard this, "It's finally going to snow. That's good! It's a good sign!"

During the Little Ice Age, not only was the weather cold, but there was also drought in the north. In winter, there is not much snow. A heavy snowfall can also alleviate the drought in the north next year. Moreover, after the snow falls in Liaodong, it will have a great impact on marching and fighting. If Jianlu continues to carry out military operations, it will consume even greater resources.

Emperor Chongzhen thought this and was in a good mood, so he said to Wei Mulan: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I won't worry about it. Just spend a good New Year in Jinzhou with peace of mind!"

Whether it is the New Army, the Dongjiang Army, or the Guan Ning Army, as the New Year is approaching, they can all celebrate the New Year happily if they win the battle.

But Jianlu was still struggling.

Towards evening, when the hussar battalion led by Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, entered Jinzhou City, a large number of cavalry troops arrived outside Xinjing City in a dusty manner. This army is Yue Tuo's two thousand cavalry.

Yue Tuo saw that Xinjincheng had been burned down long ago, and heads were hanging near the dilapidated city gate. Because of the weather, it did not rot. It can be seen at a glance that these are soldiers who originally stayed in Xinjin during the Qing Dynasty. Next to the city gate, there is a row of large characters written.

Yue Tuo recognized those Chinese characters: "Eating humans, not as good as animals, paying with blood, vowing to destroy the evil captives!"

There is deep resentment between the lines!

Yue Tuo was watching, and his personal guard asked him: "Master, do we want to go to Jinzhou to see it?"

When Yue Tuo heard this, he turned to look at him, shook his head and said, "What's the use of going there? The emperor asked us to destroy the Dongjiang Cavalry. We can't delay this matter."

"Have the Dongjiang Cavalry fled back to Jinzhou?" Another guard also asked.

When Yue Tuo heard this, he immediately vetoed: "Impossible. Our army learned the news and rushed over immediately. The Dongjiang Cavalry is not a fairy. They can do calculations. Knowing that we will come to block them immediately! Go to the city to rest and continue tomorrow. Head north!”

If it was a prosperous time in the past, you could also go to the surrounding area and grab some people to ask. But at this time, all the Han people were captured by the Qing army, and the non-Han people were massacred by the Dongjiang Army. There would be no one around at all, and there was no way to ask, so we could only estimate like this.

"twitter!"

After camping, Jianlu sent out the scouting horses as usual, and sure enough, no one was seen. Yue Tuo didn't think much about it and continued to brave the cold wind the next morning to lead his troops north to look for traces of the Dongjiang Cavalry.

Soon after, Dai Shan also arrived at Xinjin with a thousand cavalry troops, and then also went north, followed by hard work but ultimately without any results.

Speaking of which, the reason why they did these unjust things was because Jianlu himself had done evil.

According to the plan, the prisoners who wanted to encircle and suppress the Dongjiang Cavalry also included Dorgon and Duduo of North Korea. The messenger, who was so tired that he vomited blood in the cold winter, finally arrived in Seoul and conveyed Huang Taiji's will to the Dorgon brothers.

After receiving the imperial edict, Dorgon asked the messenger about the situation in Liaodong and learned that the Dongjiang Army had captured Jinzhou, captured Xinjin, and was now leading the army all the way north to attack the city and liberate the village; another group of Ming troops were even more incredible. Gaizhou was captured. Huang Taiji and his Mongolian allies Yu Jia went on a personal expedition, but failed in the first battle and suffered heavy losses.
