Chongzhen Chat Group

Emperor Chongzhen has always wanted to reform the military system, and the new army is actually a model. At present, it is even more because the new army has shown strong combat power on the battlefield in Liaodong. Therefore, in the capital, the second batch of new troops is already undergoing large-scale training. However, the quality of the personnel is naturally not as good as the first batch. After all, they are elites selected from frontier troops from various places.

The current second batch of new troops already focuses on firearms. After the War Bureau and Ordnance Bureau improved their management methods and strictly controlled product quality, the performance of flintlock guns and artillery was greatly improved. Therefore, the new army was based on the Beijing camp, eliminating the weak and retaining the strong, and Conduct large-scale firearms training. After all, firearms will be the king of the future battlefield. The only problem is that the expenses incurred by the new army are high because of the large scale of firearms training.

If this were done in the past, it would probably be abandoned halfway. But one is that the New Army has won the battle, the second is that the imperial court's finances are at least not as poor as before, and the third is that with the victory of wars and the operation of money-making things, Emperor Chongzhen's prestige The number increased day by day, and the fourth one was the important ministers in the DPRK who he had eliminated last year, and most of those left behind were like-minded comrades. All factors combined, although the cost of the new army is high, there is not much opposition.

At this time, another thing happened. The strong soldiers in the army were left behind. How to arrange the weak soldiers? Emperor Chongzhen had already thought about this. Now that Liu Mao had a manpower problem, a solution naturally came out.

I heard Emperor Chongzhen explain to Liu Mao: "The troops in the Jiangnan Guards Station are no longer used for fighting, but I'm afraid there won't be much problem if they are used to build roads. Moreover, it is organized in the form of an army and is easy to manage. Besides, you are the commander of the Ministry of War." In this matter, according to my will, please mobilize the surrounding garrison troops, select the strong soldiers, and gather the weak soldiers to build the road. In this way, the money from the wealthy merchants is in place, and the garrison provides manpower, and the road construction can be carried out at any time. "

Liu Mao was overjoyed when he heard this. In fact, he had also thought about this. After all, the abolition of the post station has been mentioned in the past, so it is natural not to fail to see that the bad soldiers at the Jiangnan Guard Station are actually the private labor of the guards officers. Now that he has the emperor's endorsement, and he is supported by the Ministry of War, it is natural to mobilize troops to build roads.

"You can make it clear to the road construction army that after the cement road is repaired, it needs to be maintained and patrolled to collect tolls. Soldiers who are active in road construction can be screened and selected." Emperor Chongzhen added before Liu Mao could respond.

When Liu Mao heard this, he couldn't help but be even more happy. This is a good job. It’s a fat job after all! With such a bait hanging, it is estimated that the speed of road construction will be much faster than that of civilian workers.

With this in mind, he quickly bowed and agreed, feeling satisfied and hurriedly followed the order and went about his business.

Emperor Chongzhen settled the matter and did not stop any longer. He took a boat to the north and returned to the capital without stopping all the way.

This time I went out to Beijing, I solved a few very basic but crucial problems, and I also got an intuitive understanding of the economic prosperity of Jiangnan. By the way, I gained a lot of achievement points, so I went out and it was worth it! After a while, I’ll have another private interview on Weibo.

Emperor Chongzhen was happy, but Huang Taiji of Liaodong was very unhappy. Because the people he sent to North Korea just reported back, saying that there was no large-scale rebellion in North Korea at all, and even the Ming army did not harass them. It was really that North Korea was too poor. After all the troubles last year, Bones everywhere.

However, the life of the Qing army in North Korea was better than that in Liaodong. At least the food supplies were more abundant than in Liaodong. Therefore, the two flags in the hands of Dorgon and Duduo did not seem to have any loss in combat power. According to rumors, North Korea has food supplies shipped from Japan.

Although Dorgon wanted to conceal this information, Huang Taiji, as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, would naturally have Huang Taiji's eyes and ears, even if it was a straight white flag or a white flag. Although Dorgon manipulated the affairs of the Japanese country, he was definitely not a confidant. But things will get out to some extent.

Huang Taiji was angry about this. The Qing soldiers in Liaodong fought to the death with the Ming army that was pressing every step of the way, but you, Dorgon, were living a prosperous life in North Korea. What does it mean to preserve your strength?

If possible, Huang Taiji would like to tell Emperor Chongzhen, hasn’t your Ming Dynasty always regarded itself as the supreme kingdom of heaven, and hasn’t North Korea always been a vassal state of your Ming Dynasty? Why don't you send troops to North Korea quickly and drive out our Qing army! Isn't that Lu Xiangsheng very powerful? Don't stay in Jinzhou. Go to Pidao and go to North Korea!

But judging from the current signs, this idea will not get the cooperation of the Ming Dynasty at all. The Ming army held on to Liaodong and refused to let him go. This made him angry!

Although the troops in Fuzhou have been successfully withdrawn and no major fighting has occurred, the Tanma of the Qing Dynasty and the Ye Bushou of the Ming Dynasty are fighting fiercely now. If it were in the past, there would never be such a thing. As long as the Qing Dynasty's probing horses use more force, they can quickly beat back the Ming Dynasty's Ye Bushou. But now, the Ming Dynasty has become as brave as the Qing Dynasty. It has reached the point where every inch of land must be fought for. Although judging from the military information reported every few days, the Ming army's casualties if it did not retreat at night were more than those of the Qing Dynasty, but the Ming army's failure to retreat at night seemed to be getting more courageous as the war progressed.

This trend is very bad! Huang Taiji was also very troubled by this. If the Ming army cannot be defeated in the field scout battles and is eventually suppressed by the Ming army, then the only advantage of the Qing Dynasty will be gone, and the Qing Dynasty will become truly deaf and blind, and will become very passive in many things. All that was left in the Qing Dynasty was to hide in the city and be beaten passively.

Such a thing must not happen! Huang Taiji made up his mind. He roared at Daishan: "I don't believe it anymore. The Qing Dynasty's expedition horses will not be able to exhaust the Ming army if they don't accept it at night? Tell me my will, select the best, and send more exploration horses. We must exhaust the elite Ming army at night, and fight Damn it, let them not dare to leave the city unscrupulously!"

After many scout battles, there were naturally winners and losers. Jianlu also caught some Ming troops who refused to accept the troops at night. The interrogation revealed that the Ming army did not accept the troops at night mainly because of the bravest new army and the former Guan Ning army. Collection composition. Although there are many night guards in Guan Ning's army, there are not many night guards in the New Army. For this reason, Huang Taiji said that he would use up these nights to regain control of the wilderness.

He also learned from the mouths of those who were arrested that the heads of Qing Dynasty detective horses were very valuable and could be directly exchanged for fertile land in Liaodong. As before, rewards for military exploits would always be in arrears or even ignored. This move made Huang Taiji have the urge to vomit blood again, because he knew that this was one of the most important reasons why the Ming army became so brave at night, but this was not to use the fertile land of the Qing Dynasty to encourage them to cut the country. Does it still make sense to Qing Tan Ma’s head?

Thanks to the helmsman of the Great Xia Wizard Saint for the reward. Two more updates are needed, so that’s 4 due updates.
